Simple plans. Room to grow.

Every cloud plan includes a set number of domains and email addresses, and adds more in expansion packs; every on-premise mail-server licence includes unlimited domains and mailboxes. Let us run SpamDuster for you on Linode, or license it for your own servers.

SpamDuster Cloud

Managed on Linode, one price.

Your own dedicated SpamDuster server and the cloud it runs on, on one bill from us — no cloud account for you to open or manage. Plans differ only in the size of the server.

Every plan includes your own dedicated server · a set number of domains and email addresses, with more available in expansion packs · spam, virus & phishing filtering (no antivirus scanning on Micro) · the self-service user portal · control-panel integration · updates and monitoring by us

Tell us what you need

Prices in US dollars. You order and pay through the PortWall billing portal: SpamDuster is a PortWall product. Jakarta and São Paulo cost more because servers cost more to run there; every other region uses the standard prices. Annual plans are paid once a year and cost the same as 10 monthly payments (2 months free); backups are optional and cost the same monthly or yearly. Micro has no antivirus scanning: it filters spam and phishing, but 1 GB of memory is too little for the virus scanner — choose Small or larger to scan attachments for viruses.

Included domains and addresses are your plan's allowance, not a promise of capacity. How much mail a server handles comfortably depends on how it is used: the volume and size of the mail, how many attachments need scanning, and how busy each domain is. A server carrying heavy mail may need a larger plan before it reaches its allowance, while a quiet one may never come close. You can move up to a larger plan at any time.

Add capacity automatically. Each pack adds the same number of domains and email addresses as the plan itself, at the same price in every region. With Add capacity automatically switched on (the default, and you can switch it off at any time), SpamDuster adds a pack when your server goes over its limit; each pack is emailed to you and invoiced pro-rata. Domains are never refused: a domain you add is always served. Address limit: if a server is at its address limit and no pack can be added, mail for a new address is asked to try again later, so senders retry and nothing is lost; addresses that received mail in the last 30 days always get their mail. Plans can be upgraded but not downgraded.

On-premise

License it for your own servers.

Pay per mail server, with unlimited domains and mailboxes on every licensed server that runs a supported hosting control panel — cPanel & WHM, Plesk (Linux or Windows) or DirectAdmin. Inbound and outbound are licensed separately.

On-Premise Inbound

Filters the mail you receive, in front of your mail servers — on your own hardware or in your own AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account.

Prices in US dollars. Going over never stops your mail: a mail server beyond your licence can't be connected, and a domain beyond your packs can't be added, until you add more; addresses over your packs raise an alert so you can top up.

Pricing questions

How billing works.

Who do I pay for SpamDuster Cloud — you or Linode?
You pay us. One monthly charge covers both your dedicated server on Linode and SpamDuster, so there's no cloud account or separate cloud bill for you to manage.
Are domains or mailboxes ever metered?
On SpamDuster Cloud, yes: each plan includes a number of domains and email addresses (from 100 domains and 1,000 addresses on Micro to 10,000 and 100,000 on Enterprise Plus), and domain expansion packs add more. On-premise, every mail-server licence used with a supported hosting control panel includes unlimited domains and email addresses. Only domains you add to an on-premise appliance by hand or through the billing API, without a control panel, are counted, in domain packs.
How is on-premise licensed?
Per mail server the appliance protects — $360 a year or $36 a month each, from five servers — with unlimited domains and mailboxes on each server that runs a supported hosting control panel. Domains you add by hand or through the billing API use domain packs, which also work without server licences. On-Premise Outbound is licensed the same way, at $720 a year or $72 a month per mail server, with its own domain packs from $240 a year. You activate each appliance with the code from your welcome email, and it keeps its licence current automatically. Inbound and outbound are separate appliances, licensed separately.
Can I run On-Premise Inbound on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure?
Yes. On-Premise Inbound will be available through AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace and Azure Marketplace. It runs in your own cloud account, so the cloud provider bills you for the server. If you'd rather not run a server at all, SpamDuster Cloud is fully managed by us on Linode.
What happens if an on-premise licence lapses?
Mail keeps being filtered and delivered for 14 days while the management console, reporting and additional detection engines pause. After that the appliance holds new mail with a temporary error: sending servers queue it and retry, and delivery resumes as soon as you renew. Sending servers give up after about 5 days, so renew promptly.
Is there a discount for paying yearly?
Yes. In SpamDuster Cloud, an annual plan costs the same as 10 monthly payments of that plan (2 months free); optional backups cost the same whether you pay monthly or yearly. On-premise, a year of any licence or domain pack costs the same as 10 months of monthly billing; a domain pack under $100 a month can be paid monthly only alongside an active server licence, and is yearly only on its own.
What happens if I go over my Cloud plan?
Your mail keeps flowing and no domain is ever refused. If you use more domains or addresses than your plan includes and Add capacity automatically is on, SpamDuster adds a domain expansion pack, emails you and invoices it pro-rata. If it is off, or a pack cannot be added, you get an alert; once a server is at its address limit, mail for a new address is asked to try again later (senders retry, mail is not lost), while addresses that received mail in the last 30 days always get their mail.
What happens if I go over my on-premise licence?
Your mail keeps flowing. A mail server beyond your licence can't be connected, and a domain beyond your packs can't be added, until you add more. If more addresses receive mail than your packs cover, you get an alert so you can top up.
What does the Micro plan leave out?
Antivirus scanning. Micro filters spam and phishing like every other plan, but its 1 GB of memory is too little for the virus scanner, so attachments are not scanned for viruses. Small and every larger plan include antivirus scanning.
Why do Jakarta and São Paulo cost more?
Linode charges more for servers in those two regions, and our prices follow. Every other region uses the standard prices.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, to a larger plan. When your mail volume grows, contact us and we'll move your filter to a bigger server. A cloud plan can't be moved to a smaller one, because a server's disk can't be made smaller.
