'MailServ' product from Netcore Solutions Pvt Ltd has been implemented on
our servers and since then our spam mails have been taken care of. Due to
the server side spam filtering feature, there is no wastage of users'
time and system resources. The admin level features are beneficial since
most of the issues are handled before it comes to the user. We have been
using the services satisfactorily for the last 3 yrs.
