Fighting unsolicited e-mail is no easy task. The allure of making easy money at others' expense motivates numerous spammers to constantly innovate new ways to fill millions of mailboxes with junk.
MailAssure is well-equipped for the fight. The source of each message is checked against the world's best databases of known spamming hosts and domains. Each message is searched for numerous words and phrases that are indicative of spam. Websites referenced within e-mails are checked against dynamic databases of known spam referral targets and objectionable sites.
| These, and other techniques (we don't give away all of our secrets!) are employed to test each and every e-mail. But we don't stop there! Messages are also checked for known viruses as well as suspect attachments.
Our technical staff monitors the 'net for new spam sources and techniques daily. We maintain some of the oldest, and most spammed e-mail addresses around, so that we can keep up with the newest threats. Our clients help the cause, by forwarding spam that "gets through" so that our staff can find ways to block those, too. This is why MailAssure has been called a "cooperative approach" to the war on spam. |
