MailChannels Inbound Filtering
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
What it is
MailChannels Inbound Filtering blocks spam, phishing, and malware before messages reach hosted inboxes. It is built for hosting providers handling mail at scale, with a multi-tenant design: one MX record can protect domains across a provider’s fleet, while controls remain available for individual domains. Multiple independent detection engines identify threats, and customers can manage safelists, blocklists, and false-positive recovery. Intelligent Quarantine gives senders a self-service link to release messages flagged incorrectly; a daily digest also lets users release legitimate held mail. Support agents and customers can search message history in Log Search. The product page says SSL/TLS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are enforced inline, and mail that fails authentication is not delivered to customers. It supports downstream SMTP servers and offers a cPanel and WHM plugin, which requires cPanel and WHM version 68 or higher and PHP 5.6 or higher. Setup includes domain provisioning, mail-server preparation, and routing inbound traffic through MailChannels. Pricing is on request.
