FAQs

Will SPAVAS stop all spam emails?
It is impossible to stop all spam without misclassifying legitimate messages as spam. The aim is to minimise the number of emails misclassified and the number of spam notifications sent to the user, to minimise the time wasted dealing with them. SPAVAS, when properly tuned, should detect more than 98% of spam. This means that the average user can expect about four spam messages per week to be undetected and about one message per week misclassified as spam and quarantined, requiring retrieval.

Will my email be delayed by SPAVAS?
Emails passing through
SPAVAS are processed by a series of sophisticated scanners and scrutinised in many ways. To minimise the delay through our systems many operations are performed in parallel using multiple, redundant, clustered servers. We aim to keep the delay to a maximum of 30 seconds, with most messages transiting our systems within about 10 seconds.
