by The PGA of America to provide email hosting to its

the golfers they teach and serve. They are currently
hosting more than 10,000 membership email accounts

"We've been providing email accounts to our members
for years, but we were hosting the email internally,"
explained Larry Green, Director of Information
Systems of the PGA of America. "But as more of our
members have signed up, the service has grown
exponentially more complex to maintain in-house. In
the past year alone, the volume of email and spam
increased so much that we faced significant
investments in hardware and software, not to mention
the resources needed to setup and manage it all. Email
management had become more than a full-time job for
our IT staff and an expensive one at that. This is why
we made the decision to offload these challenges. In
the first week alone Webmail.us successfully filtered
out more than 1,810,704 pieces of spam, stopped
636,693 directory harvest attacks, and prevented 3,695
viruses from being delivered. We are beyond pleased."

3. "It's a great feeling to be associated with an
organization like PGA," said Patrick Matthews, chief
executive officer at Webmail.us, Inc. "They're a
unique organization but the problems they faced with
their in-house email system are very common. Any
organization running an email hosting environment
with a size and scope similar to PGA's has to manage
the same complexities. We're happy to help them
manage those complexities so they can focus on bigger
and better things."
Webmail.us has been experiencing rapid growth,
adding more than 16,000 businesses to its email
hosting system in the last twelve months.
