<snip> sorry I think I should have posted this here.

Hi

We host our ecommerce site in UK. On Saturday we couldn't send out email as our line constantly downloading virus/spam emails (over 1750 emails) I installed Mailwasher to get a look at the server and manually deleted lots of "wazzup" type virus emails.

However mailwasher processing is a bit complex for the non-techies in our store - anyone know of a good UK host who offers automatic server side virus scanning as part of the hosting package - recommendations?

Thanks
miam

I'm not sure that you particularly need a UK host, it is possible to host web site and mail server at different locations if you set up your DNS correctly.

It is only the web server you need to host in the UK to take advantage of the geotargetting of some ISPs.
