SPAMfighter is Europe's leading anti spam filter developer, providing spam protection across the globe for over 3 million home and corporate users. SPAMfighter exploits the power of its growing community of users who, with one click, can report new spam mail so it can be automatically filtered for all other SPAMfighter users. SPAMfighter's Web site is a primary sales and distribution channel every day more than 6,000 new users download SPAMfighter software to protect their email from unwanted spam. In addition to being an important product showcase, where users can download SPAMfighter software and 'try before they buy' for free, the website also projects the key brand values of accessibility and usability for its growing global community of SPAMfighters.

"Akamai's dynamic mapping system directs user requests to an optimal Akamai server and uses route optimization to identify the fastest and most reliable route to retrieve dynamic data held on SPAMfighter's servers. SPAMfighter is now able to target and manage user growth in new geographic markets with confidence. Akamai gives us the capacity on demand we require to reach global customers without the cost, timing constraints or risk of expanding our own global infrastructure," explained Hjortholt. SPAMfighter is able to categorize and control how content on each page is delivered, cached and routed, updating localized page content as frequently as necessary. Caching content not only enables greater flexibility, in terms of site optimization, but reduces the burden and demand on SPAMfighter's own servers. Akamai's Electronic Software Delivery has helped SPAMfighter achieve a higher rate of successful downloads. Since using the service SPAMfighter has seen the number of downloads for its software increase the user database by more than one million users in just four months something that previously took years.
