Anti Spam Filtering

ActivatorMail Listing updated: January 28, 2005

ActivatorMail may be used as a frontline filter system for any standard email server such as Microsoft Exchange, Unix/Linux SendMail, or Lotus Notes. All that is required is to set your domain's DNS 'MX' (mail service) records to use ActivatorMail services. This simple change can be done by your Network Administrator or ISP and directs email addressed to you to ActivatorMail first. Then, only 'Clean' email is delivered to your mail server. You simply continue to use your own mail server with all its Internet email filtered automatically by ActivatorMail.

TrueProtect Listing updated: January 28, 2005

FrontBridge utilizes three layers of protection to analyze each piece of email and to detect and act on suspected spam.
Blacklisting: FrontBridge uses a proprietary blacklist. We do not use commercial blacklists such as MAPS and ORBZ/S. Our blacklist contains only the addresses of the most egregious spammers on the Internet. While conservative, our blacklist can immediately block nearly 10 percent of our customer's inbound spam.
Fingerprinting: Messages not blocked by blacklisting are fingerprinted to detect matches with known spam message characteristics. FrontBridge's fingerprinting technology leverages knowledge gained from filtering mail for our entire customer base.
Messages identified as spam are fingerprinted and given a unique id based on their content. If these messages come through our system again, the fingerprint is detected and the message is marked as spam.
Rules-based scoring: FrontBridge assigns scores to messages based on more than 20,000 rules that embody and define characteristics of spam and legitimate email. Points are added to the score if a message contains characteristics of spam; and points are subtracted if it contains many characteristics of legitimate email. When a message's score reaches a defined threshold, it is flagged as spam.

CleanMyMailbox Listing updated: January 28, 2005

The problem with spam email is that it's saturating our mailboxes, in such volume, that ISPs are being forced to apply server-side filters to relieve congested mail servers. And the problem with that approach, is that many times even "good" or legitimate email is filtered out as spam (called a false-positive) and the mailbox owner never sees it. Current spam filters further complicate the problem, by attempting to correctly identify incoming email as either spam email or not. The problem here is that spammers use and study the same software, learn how to get past the filters, and then the process starts all over again. No real solution is ever achieved. CleanMyMailbox finally offers a solution to this problem, because the spammers can't access your whitelist, which is used to keep their refuse out of your mailbox. Our permission-based server-side filtering solution put you in control of the filtering criteria for your mailbox. At the same time, it provides 24x7 access to any email items that are filtered. And it cleans your mailbox at the mail server - so your mailbox is clean, no matter where you check your email. Control and access - in the hands of the individual mailbox owner, because every mailbox is different.
