Message Shield is the premium online anti-spam, anti-virus email content filtering and archiving solution It gives NZ businesses cost-effective, high quality and professional email security services and support on a :

• per-user basis

Message Shield is a business enablement solution that allows us to host and offer our own email filtering services. With Message Shield we can offer our customers access to high quality, professional email security services that they would not normally wish to, or be able to, support themselves. These services can be as simple and straight-forward as “cleansing” customers’ email of viruses and spam. Or, they can be more comprehensive and cover business requirements such as email compliance, archiving and confidentiality protection.

Message Shield takes only minutes to enable. A simple redirection of your Mail Exchanger record (MX record) is all that is required to enable the service. Once enabled, Message Shield acts as an Internet-based email filter for your organization ("in the cloud"), removing unwanted email and only delivering legitimate email to your email server or mailboxes. Secure web-based access is provided to your own email management console and reports. You can define and schedule regular reports for automatic delivery to any email address. Message Shield offers carrier-grade datacentre infrastructure hosted on the latest hardware with 24/7/365 monitoring by expert technicians. The service is backed by full helpdesk support.

Message Shield has a helpdesk team dedicated to the continual ongoing support of its offerings. In addition to this, Message Shield has a development team focused on continual product advancement.
