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.

WinDeveloper IMF Tune Listing updated: December 7, 2009

Unleash the full power of the Exchange 2003/2007/2010 built-in anti-spam filtering. The Exchange Intelligent Message Filter (IMF)/Content Filter is bottled in an interface exposing minimal functionality. IMF Tune changes this, rendering it a full featured, commercial grade, anti-spam solution.

Emails may be white/black listed based on various criteria. Each of the IMF SCL ratings is configurable enabling granular email handling. For each SCL one may setup archiving, logging, auto-replies, attachment stripping, insertion of SCL into the email subject and more. The selection of emails handling actions enables SCL based rejection, deletion and rerouting. The ability to setup filtering Rules composed of multiple conditions and exceptions adds further flexibility. In this manner one can simply increment/decrement the SCL rating on finding specific keywords. Otherwise one can fix the SCL rating to some value forcing the email to be deposited to the Junk Email folder.
