It would be great to see Irish companies wiith a gmail type spam protection. I currently use gmail to collect pop accounts then pop forward it to outlook as my incoming mail server.

The Majority of them would be using spamcop .. and spamassassin ? ... by default I'd guess (though I could be wrong) ... I'm not receiving that much spam on my irish accounts .. and normally you have filters you can put into place on top of this ... so you can always check your junk mail folder ?

Anyone who uses spamcop should be shot.

Using it to score mails makes sense, but NOT for deciding if a mail is spam or not ...

We block using SpamHaus as well as offering a certain degree of filtering on our linux hosting.. When we launch our new solution we'll be rejigging the offering slightly

I'm thinking of settting up a second account for reseller hosting to spread the load so i might take a look at Blacknight.

Not my area of expertise obviously ... thats why I've got blacknight on the case for me

My dreamhost squirrelMail interface gives me spamcop and spamassassin ... hence I mentioned those ...

I'd forgotten you mentioning spamhaus before ...
