Beating back the chaos that is Spam.

Cloudmark AntiSpam Technology

We know how disruptive spam emails can be. They are not just an annoyance, they are a great cost to your business in wasted time. We have found a solution that eliminates spam at server level, so that the spam never even reaches you.

How our solution works.

The AntiSpam software communicates with the Microsoft Exchange Server through Microsoft's standard Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). It receives notifications when messages arrive, then checks the messages and performs preconfigured actions on messages that are spam, phishing, or viruses.

1. Compute Fingerprints

When new messages arrive, the software computers a unique "fingerprint" for each one and evaluates it using the best internet lookup service available. During this period, Exchange continues routing messages without interruption.

2. Verdict

When the central spam list receives fingerprints from the software, it compares them with those of messages already known to be spam or phishing. If a match is found, the internet server notifies the software.

3. Action

When spam, phishing, or viruses are found, they are automatically tagged, moved to a spam folder or deleted if you wish. It is completely configurable.

4. End-User Feedback

End users can contest the status of a message by moving it into or out of the spam folder. The software then reports this feedback to the central server, where it is used to re-evaluate how messages with similar fingerprints are filtered. The software can re-scan mailboxes periodically to apply the latest end-user feedback.
