MailRoute

Stop the phishing and impersonation your built-in filters wave through

MailRoute becomes your primary email filter in front of your mail server (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or on-prem Exchange) — one engine, one quarantine, fewer false positives. Most customers route every message through MailRoute and dial their built-in spam filtering down to a pass-through, so there’s one place to look instead of two. Prefer to keep a second layer running behind us? That works too.

From $2/user/month. Setup in five minutes. Founded by the engineer who built Microsoft’s Exchange Online Protection.

Stuck on setup? Email or call and a real person who knows the product picks up, not a chatbot or a support forum, and sorts out the large majority of issues on the spot.

Email is your most attacked channel. Give it its own line of defense.

You already isolate backups from storage and endpoint protection from the OS. MailRoute is that same independent layer for email: one control point outside the mailbox, filtering every message before it reaches your server.

You can’t manage what you can’t see

MailRoute shows you exactly what it stopped: phishing, impersonation, and malicious payloads, by threat category and by who was targeted.

Make MailRoute your filter, not your second opinion

Native Office 365 and Google Workspace filtering blocks known spam and commodity malware, but targeted phishing, zero-day payloads, and business email compromise (BEC) sail right through. Point your MX at MailRoute and it becomes your primary filter: one dedicated engine making the call, one quarantine to watch. Most customers dial the built-in spam filtering down to a pass-through so there’s a single place to look — though you can keep it running as a second layer if you prefer.

AI analysis, multi-engine scanning, real-time threat intelligence

Three independent layers working together, so a threat that slips past one is caught by the others.

Exceptionally low false positives

Legitimate mail gets through reliably. Your quarantine is for review, not rescue missions.

99.999% uptime SLA

If your mail server goes down, we queue your email and deliver it when you’re back.

No per-seat surprises

Transparent pricing from $2/user/month. Volume discounts for larger organizations.

Three steps. Five minutes.

No hardware to install, no software to configure, no agents on your endpoints. Just a DNS change and you’re done.

1

Sign up

Create your account and add your domain. Takes about two minutes. Free for 30 days, no credit card required.

2

Update MX records

Point your mail exchange records to MailRoute. We give you the exact values to paste in.

3

You're protected

MailRoute filters every inbound message before it reaches your server. Clean mail only.

Office 365

MailRoute layers on top of Exchange Online Protection to catch the advanced threats EOP misses. Works with your existing Office 365 setup. No changes to your workflow, just better filtering upstream of your inbox.

Google Workspace

Add MailRoute as an inbound gateway for Gmail. Our filters run before Google’s, so threats are stripped before they even enter Google’s queue. Simple MX record change, full protection in minutes.

Works with any standard mail server: on-premise Exchange, Postfix, Zimbra, cPanel, or any SMTP-compatible system.

Don’t just filter your email. Let us host it.

50GB IMAP mailboxes, webmail, and forwarding, with our threat protection built in. One vendor, one bill, from $5/user/month.

Security built in, not bolted on

Every mailbox runs behind the same filtering that protects our gateway customers. No second vendor to manage.

Migrate without the interruption

Keep your domain and addresses. Move a department at a time or everyone at once. Mail keeps flowing throughout.

One vendor, one bill

Hosting and security on a single invoice, from $5/user/month. No per-seat surprises.

Give members an identity, not mailboxes

For associations and alumni programs: give every member a professional address at your own domain. They send and receive as name@yourorg.orgfrom the inbox they already use, fully filtered — while you host zero mailboxes. You provision the list; we handle the routing, authentication, and security.

For associations

A durable member benefit you stand up from your roster — branded send-and-receive, no mailboxes to run. Member email identity →

For alumni & higher ed

Keep the school-branded address graduates value without hosting lifetime mailboxes. Alumni email identity →

When something’s wrong with your email, you need a person — not a portal

A lot of our customers came to us after trying to get help somewhere that treats support as a cost to cut: a chatbot, a community forum, a ticket that sits for days. We built MailRoute the other way. Email or call and a real person who knows the product answers, and they stay with it until it’s resolved.

Routing filtering in front of a cPanel server? A Zimbra install? Your own Postfix box? That’s a normal day for our support team, not an edge case they push back to a help article.

~98% solved without escalation

Our support team resolves the large majority of issues themselves. They’re people who work with the product every day, not a call center reading a script.

Engineers pulled in when it counts

When something genuinely needs deeper engineering, support brings an engineer in directly. You’re never handed a case number and left waiting.

A human either way — phone for Enterprise

Email support on every plan; live phone support on Enterprise and Enterprise U.S., 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Pacific. After hours, an on-call person is paged and calls you back or works your ticket, not a queue that opens at 9 a.m.

What customers say

We're a reseller, and MailRoute is a requirement for every client we take on. I won't handle a customer's email without it. It's the filter we trust to stop the targeted phishing and BEC that would otherwise reach our clients, and it's wired into our own provisioning through the API, so when we add or remove a user on our end, MailRoute updates itself. No double management, far fewer support calls.
