Email Filtering
Recent reports show that more than 65% of email is now unwanted spam and that the majority of virus threats are transmitted via email. Apart from bringing down systems and clogging up valuable network resources, there is a direct impact on the productivity of staff which ultimately impacts the bottom line.
Although there is software that allows a business to filter out spam, many businesses find it difficult to commit the time and resources to manage it effectively. Our smart system uses technology to manage rules and patterns with dedicated human resource to reduce unwanted email by at least 98%.
Our mail filtering service has been designed to combat the very problems detailed above. The mail service has a smart filter that uses a combination of multiple spam and virus fighting tools that eliminate the vast majority of unwanted email, while protecting and allowing legitimate mail. The mail filtering service works in a more effective way than other systems. Most systems will mark the incoming message as spam and send them on to the user or place them in another mailbox to be checked. Our service quarantines any suspicious messages and sends the user a plain text email with retrieval instructions. This can significantly reduce the amount of spam messages your company receives thus increasing productivity, freeing up network and manpower resources and allowing your employees to work more efficiently. Throughout the day, our engineers check the system manually to ensure the highest possible success rate.
Virus Detection
Every incoming email is automatically scanned twice, using two separate leading antivirus engines, increasing the likelihood of an infected email being identified. Malicious viruses, attachments and worms are immediately destroyed upon detection. The intelligent mail filter analyses all email and recognises any malicious code that it finds and a second virus analyser identifies new threats almost 100% of the time.
Spam Detection
Upon receipt of email, a number of tests are performed to determine whether the message is legitimate or spam, these tests include checking for forgery, spam hash signatures and RFC compliance. Our highly advanced content recognition engine analyses each message for spam and adult content. The technology uses highly adaptive pattern files that are constantly updated. The system uses flexible scoring methods to allow adult and spam messages to be identified and treated differently. The message content is then measured and analysed to help prevent false positives.
The system also includes extensive whitelist and blacklist options, which can control messages, by domain, workgroup or individual user. These whitelists and blacklists contain sophisticated logic patterns that can be weighted to ensure the right messages get through and the wrong ones are identified and destroyed. When a message is detected by the system it is placed in quarantine and email sent to the intended recipient. The user can then chose to either accept the email or confirm that it is spam.
Our team of engineers constantly monitor the quarantine area to ensure that it is up to date and that all messages are being actioned appropriately. There will be no noticeable delay to your users in sending and receiving their mail. Mail is scanned, quarantined and cleaned in a real-time environment and it usually only takes one or two business days to set the system up. From our experience, this filtering system will reduce the number of unwanted spam by 98%, whilst still allowing you to be in full control and ensuring that important email gets through. Protecting your network and employees from spam and viruses is something all companies should be doing something about - now, before it is too late.
