It is a common occurrence that, when offered the LastSpam service, prospective clients express concern over email confidentiality.
If this is a concern to you, then
consider this…
When organizations install a product locally on their network, whether it be a software or hardware-based solution, it gives them only the illusion of confidentiality. It is important to point out that your organisation's emails routinely circulate in “ clear text ” over the Internet and that the only way to make emails truly confidential is to use one of the different encryption methods currently available (PKI, X509, PGP, etc.).
Having emails transit through LastSpam's closed infrastructure does not make organizations any more or any less vulnerable in terms of confidentiality, this for two key reasons:
- Valid emails only go through our servers for a few milliseconds and are not kept in our systems;
- Operational security measures and audits prevent anyone other than the Client from accessing spam interception logs and data.

How did I get to this web page?
The sequence below represents the different “hops” your web browser made to reach the web page you are currently reading. Your organisation’s emails travel through the Internet in much the same way: they only reach their final destination after having been relayed by ten to fifteen servers on the average.
Lastspam’s server farm is one additional “hop” before your emails are delivered to you.
Lastspam filters emails on their final Internet stop BEFORE they enter your organisation’s gateway. We keep the bad stuff OUT, securing your email and IT systems at a higher level with only legitimate emails on the inside.
So, if confidentiality is an issue, please read on.
