New Anti-Spam Service

Overview:
There is no dispute that email has become a key communications tool for corporations. However, with spammers quickly filling your inbox with unwanted messages, email has become a less efficient means of communicating. In fact, according to predictions by industry analysts, a third of your inbox will be spam by the end of the year, if not already.

It's now time to take control and put an end to spam. Ensure your company's email can remain a safe and effective way for communicating by utilising the Netcetera SPAMwall Service.

Key features:

• No software to install
• Hourly virus definition updates installed automatically
• Blacklisting of websites & domains: Netcetera maintains an up to date list of the largest and most aggressive known spammers.
• Keyword scanning of emails: This can be configured on a per user basis. Our scanning methods include a scoring system such that emails are scored based on a number of criteria. If the score is above a threshold, then that email is flagged as spam.
• Checksum technology: Netcetera monitors email traffic through the Internet and uses checksum technology to keep track of the number of times a particular message has appeared on the Internet. If a message has appeared over a certain number of times, it is categorized as known spam.
• Message authenticity checking: Several algorithms are utilized to verify the authenticity of a message. Some of these are simple checks to verify that the "from address" is authentic. Some are more complex relating to SMTP protocol.
• Blacklists and Whitelists: Domains, IP's, and email addresses can be blocked or whitelisted (allowed through). These lists may be maintained on a per user basis or on across your whole domain.
• File type attachment blocking: You can block certain types of files, such as vbl scripts, from entering your mail system.
• Suspect emails get quarantined: There are three main types of emails: emails that you want, emails that you do not want (spam), and emails that are suspect. Netcetera's SPAMwall can tag suspect emails for delivery into a separate folder. You can then either have the end user or another designated person be the final judge of what to do with these suspect emails. If after 30 days no action is taken, the message is deleted.
• Automatic system updates: A team of engineers is on hand to monitor the Internet for trends in spam and virus attacks. As we detect trends, updates are created for identifying spam. So you can be assured that you have the latest protection at all times.
