Dec, 2001 : Electric Mail Upgrades Email Filtering Suite
📅 - The Electric Mail Company Inc. (electricmail.com), adeveloper of outsourced messaging and email services, announces that it hasenhanced its email filtering or "e-filtering" suite of services with theaddition and integration of a SPAM filtering application. With theincreasing resourcefulness and volume of SPAM broadcasters, Electric Mail'senhanced E-Filtering can provide customers with greater control overunwanted messages.
"Our business email customers want a solution for managing incoming SPAMthat, unlike other filtering services, methods and products on the market,is economical, highly effective and easy-to-use," said Adam Hyde, directorof product strategy for Electric Mail. "With The Electric Mail Company'sE-Filtering, which now includes our enhancedSPAM filtering application, end-users receive a fraction of unwantedmessages intended for their inbox which, in turn, improves businessproductivity."
Like virus outbreaks and infections, SPAM has a direct effect on companiesand the Internet service providers they use, essentially forcing them todevote time, bandwidth, personnel, capital and other resources to combat it.Ultimately, companies that spend time receiving and battling SPAM endurehigher costs of email and its management. E-filtering consistently andreliably finds up to 85% of SPAM messages with no false-positives, accordingto the company.
How E-Filtering's anti-SPAM component works:
Using complex rule sets to assign a score to message content,E-Filtering scans all incoming mail for known SPAM characteristics.For each SPAM rule that matches, the message is assigned a certainnumber of points.If a message scores above a pre-determined "threshold" score, it ismarked in the subject line as suspected "SPAM". Messages that score belowthe threshold are left intact and sent on their way.Users can then direct suspected SPAM to their "Trash" or otherdesignated folder using email client filters already built into popularemail client software such as Microsoft Outlook. Alternatively, using othertools within the E- Filtering suite, administrators can redirect or deleteSPAM messages before they are even delivered to end users.
