Route Filtering

This method of outsourcing is not quite as comprehensive as the previous one. All the external company does in this case is filter your email before routing it to your server. You will still need to have an in-house mail server for this system to work. However, this method eliminates the need to install virus protection, spam filters and content filters. This takes some of the burden off your technicians and servers, but you will still need to have on-site support to handle email network issues and user issues. By keeping a certain amount of expertise in-house and outsourcing just those parts that bring you the most difficulty, you can save time and money and streamline your communications considerably.
