For the 34th test in a row, OnlyMyEmail’s MX-Defender blocked more spam than any other filtering system competing in the Virus Bulletin VBSpam Challenge.
During the latest competition, which ran for 16 days with live email feeds, OnlyMyEmail accurately blocked more spam than all other spam filters, missing one spam email out of 169,565 messages, 160,426 of which were spam.
In addition, OnlyMyEmail did not create a single false-positive result (blocking of legitimate emails) during the test, resulting in another VBSpam+ award.
By comparison, well known solutions performed much worse, with Kaspersky missing 165 and 197 spam emails with their two solutions, Trustwave allowing 234, Sophos missing 332, and SpamHaus failing to capture 5,804 emails from the exact same live feed of messages.
The results from Virus Bulletin’s VBSpam Challenge continually document that OnlyMyEmail’s MX-Defender is decisively superior to any other spam defense available today, having stopped a far higher rate of spam than any other filter tested since the VBSpam Competition began in 2009.
In all, over the years, OnlyMyEmail has significantly outperformed a total of 41 other systems including hardware appliances, software programs and other Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions.
Quoting from the VBSpam review:
“The OnlyMyEmail hosted email solution…. achieved a final score that, rounded to two decimals, would be 100.”
