Exclaimer Anti-spam Listing updated: July 27, 2011

It’s not anti-spam: it’s pro-business. Exclaimer Anti-spam doesn’t rely on erratic word-filtering, it analyses global email traffic to detect spam, algorithmically identifying unusual volumes of similar messages being sent from multiple sources - key indicators of spam and botnets. It uses the Recurrent Pattern Detection engine from Commtouch, it’s constantly monitoring email traffic worldwide and deciphering recurrent patterns in spam messages - it’s more than just a filter on your inbox.

Commtouch have 20 years of experience, and count Google, Microsoft and HP among their clients - we’re not surprised it’s so good. By analysing the context, not the content, it works in any language, even on images, and won’t block a vital email just because it doesn’t have a subject line. Exclaimer Anti-spam combines the RPD engine from Commtouch with your Microsoft server’s built-in countermeasures in one easy, comprehensive interface - so you get maximum power with minimum effort.

Use it with Exchange 2007/2010 or Small Business Server 2008/2011, and get it with Mail Utilities on your 2003 edition of Exchange or Small Business Server. Simple has never been so powerful: just download, install and start blocking spam - not your contacts.
