How it works
Incoming filtering between the internet and your inboxes.
SpamVest screens messages before they reach your existing mailbox provider. Clean mail continues to your team, while unwanted inbound spam is stopped earlier in the delivery path.
No mailbox migration. No software on user devices. Your team keeps using the same email apps.
Core mail flow
SpamVest sits in front of your existing mailbox provider.
Incoming mail is routed through SpamVest first. Messages are checked by the filtering layer, then accepted mail is delivered onward to your current mailbox provider.
- Wanted mail continues to your existing mailboxes
- Spam and suspicious messages are blocked or held before reaching users
- Your team keeps using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cPanel, or another provider

Setup overview
Three steps to active protection.
Add your domain
Start a trial and enter the domain you want to protect.
Confirm delivery
Tell SpamVest where accepted mail should be delivered after filtering.
Update MX records
Point incoming mail to SpamVest. Once DNS is verified, filtering becomes active.
Inbound route
Only the inbound route changes.
SpamVest works in front of your existing mailbox provider. Your team keeps using the same inboxes, while domain owners or administrators stay in control of DNS and mailbox settings.
What changes

The 30-day trial gives you time to add your domain, confirm the clean-mail destination, update MX records, and verify mail flow before continuing with the annual plan.
Domain-level filtering
Why filter at the domain level?
Domain-level filtering protects incoming mail before it reaches individual inboxes. That helps reduce spam exposure across the whole business without asking every user to install or manage separate tools.
- Central protection for the domain
- Less inbox noise for users
- Cleaner handoff to your existing mailbox provider
- A setup model that works with common mailbox platforms
