Media publication Telecomworldwire today writes that secure email provider Tumbleweed Communications has announced today that Telewest Broadband, has implemented the Tumbleweed Email Firewall and Dynamic Anti-spam Service to fight spam, detect and kill computer viruses, and secure its corporate e-mail communications.
Whether this is a feature for customers to benefit from, or simply a solution for corporate messaging is unknown yet, and the Telewest Media Centre contains no releases regarding this anti-spam solution.
According to Tumbleweed, Telewest is currently receiving around 7m e-mails per month, about 60 per cent of which are identified by Tumbleweed Email Firewall as spam.
