What is Spam?
E-mail has become the subject of much abuse, in the form of spamming and e-mail worm programs. Both flood the in-boxes of E-mail users with junk e-mails, wasting their time and money, and often carrying offensive, fraudulent, or damaging content.
The SecPoint Anti SPAM module is used to stop e-mail abuse and ensure E-mail continues to be usable in the face of these threats.
The continuing increase in spam has resulted in rapid growth in the use of spam filter solutions.
This spam filtering solution examines incoming email, separating spam from genuine email messages. Unwanted e-mail can be filtered at the desktop, the network email server/email gateway, or the Internet Service Provider's email gateway. A way of handling the problem for the whole network is the use of a hardened e-mail security appliance designed to intercept both spam and viruses.
SecPoint has chosen to use the award winning SpamAssassin Spam Filter solution. This is a very strong Anti-Spam engine with more than 97% catch rate of Spam. SpamAssassin has been rated one of the best Anti-Spam engines in the world.
Reasons an Anti-Spam appliance might be selected instead of software-only solutions could include:
• The customer prefers to buy hardware rather than software.
• Ease of installation.
• Operating system requirements (e.g. company policy requires Linux, but software is not available under this Operating System).
• Independence of existing hardware.
How does the Anti-Spam Module works?
Many techniques and configurations are combined to ensure the highest catch rate and lowest amount of false positives.
• Pointing system that counts all words in a mail and giving it points the user can fine tune the point level as well.
• Official black lists – The user can choose to enable a high amount of black lists different language preferences.
• Manual fine tuning and configuration based on your network setup.
• Individual user login to manage the Spam Quarantine.
• Monthly updates to the latest SpamAssassin versions. |
