BitDefender Antispam for Mail Servers (Win SMTP Proxy) uses six proprietary modules to keep unwanted e-mail out of your organization:

* IP Match
* Keyword Filter
* White List/Blacklist
* Charset Filter
* URL Filter
* Heuristic Filter

BitDefender AntiSpam checks every incoming & outgoing email message and attaches a Spam Score. If the spam score is greater than or equal to the spam threshold, then the message is marked as spam. Otherwise, it's marked as ham (non-spam).

For complete protection, BitDefender Antispam for Mail Servers (WIN SMTP Proxy) can also be installed along with BitDefender for MS Exchange 5.5 and BitDefender for Lotus Domino.

BitDefender Antispam for Mail Servers (WIN SMTP Proxy) should not be installed along with BitDefender for MS Exchange 2003, BitDefender for MS Exchange 2000 or BitDefender Antivirus & Antispam for Mail Servers (WIN SMTP Proxy), because all these products already provide both antivirus and antispam protection.

Quarantine - To reduce false positives rate without decreasing Anti-Spam efficiency, email from unknown senders which cannot be clearly deemed spam or ham can be quarantined.

Semi-automatic processing can be achieved by deploying Challenge Response- senders of quarantined messages will need to authorize themselves by completing C/R confirmation.

Auto Whitelisting - Automatic building of whitelists allows to tighten email delivery by engaging all available Anti-Spam technologies, without the fear of losing an important message. Closed working groups can achieve 100% spam-free email without much effort. Messages from your business contacts and people you've been in touch with will never be tagged as spam. Email from whitelisted addresses will be delivered straight to user's mailbox, completely bypassing anti-spam processing.

Kaspersky Anti-Spam

Kaspersky Lab

http://usa.kaspersky.com

Kaspersky® Anti-Spam (Linux) protects both users of company mail systems and Internet providers from unsolicited mass mailing or spam.

Kaspersky Anti-Spam helps mail system users eliminate unwanted mail. It employs intelligent spam detection technology, which was developed using Kaspersky Lab’s extensive experience in protecting large-scale mail systems.

Features - Protection from spam
* Lists. Messages are checked against blacklists of email addresses and sender IP addresses (e.g., DNSBL or DNS-based Blackhole Lists), which are maintained by service providers and public organizations. Administrators can also compile their own whitelists (e.g., friends list) of users, whose messages will automatically be delivered without undergoing analysis.
* Analysis of formal attributes. Attributes that are typical of spam messages include modifications of sender addresses, no recipients specified or an excessive number of recipients, and the absence of an IP address in the DNS system. The size and format of messages are also taken into consideration during analysis.
* Linguistic heuristic analysis. Both messages and attachments are filtered according to their content, which is scanned for specific word combinations and their distribution within messages.
* Signature analysis. When a new spam message is detected, it can be automatically assigned a lexical signature, which is added to the signature database. From this signature, Kaspersky Anti-Spam can recognize the message or modified versions of the message.
* Detection of graphic spam. Graphic signatures are created and added to the signature database in the same way as for ordinary spam. Using graphic spam analysis, images rather than words are analyzed in messages that include both images and text.

* Stops all e-mail threats – inbound and outbound – with one solution
* Centralized management and reporting
* World-beating MIMEsweeper engine
* Unrivalled Deep Content Inspection
* Unparalleled ‘Zero-Day’ protection
* Super-scalable, from 50 to 100,000+ users

The Problem - Email is not going to go away and neither are the threats that come with it. Spam, viruses, trojans, denial of service attacks, confidential leaks; they all scale up as email volumes scale up – exponentially. Until now, enterprises have fought off the invading hordes with a small army of point solutions. A spam filter here, some anti-virus there, a bit of content security somewhere else (and some wide open security holes nearly everywhere). The trouble is, point solutions create as many management problems as they solve; they’re not really secure; and they simply don’t scale.

Introducing Total Content Security - MIMEsweeper for SMTP 5.1 delivers the first truly enterprise-class content security solution that stops all email threats at all gateways, inbound and outbound. For the first time, organizations of all sizes can replace their false sense of security with real, comprehensive security that can be managed and updated simply and centrally.

The Benefits
* Stop all threats at all email gateways, before they can do any damage.
* Dramatically reduce administration time and resources.
* Support regulatory compliance with flexible policies.
* Minimize the threat of downtime, prosecution, lost productivity and confidentiality breaches.
* Free up bandwidth and storage for legitimate business.
* Scale to infinity with lower cost of ownership.
* Close your Zero-Day vulnerability window by taking action before patches are published.
