Award-winning anti-spam service is over 99 percent accurate
MX Logic® Spam Blocking:
Overview:
Your messaging system requires around-the-clock protection from
today's email-borne threats, which are capable of instantaneously
derailing critical business communications.
MX Logic can help you fight back against the constant barrage
of unsolicited email with a unique anti-spam system that has proven
effective in blocking over 99 percent of all spam. MX Logic identifies,
quarantines, blocks and strips suspect email messages at the network
perimeter, before they can enter your messaging infrastructure.
The MX Logic® Email Defense Service received five stars, the
highest available rating, in the VeriTest Anti-Spam Benchmark Service™
Summer 2005 Report. The high rating was a result of the solution’s
performance in the vendor-tuned portion of the independent test,
in which it posted a 99.76 percent Spam Capture Rate. MX Logic posted
a Spam Capture Rate of 99.71 in the "out-of-the-box" configuration.
Using a unique multilayered strategy, MX Logic's patent-pending
Stacked Classification Framework® spam detection system combines
the most effective spam-fighting techniques, and is continually
updated to defend against the latest spam threats.
These diverse filters separately assess and "vote" on the probability
that a specific email is spam - a technique that results in highly-accurate
threat protection with industry-leading low false positive rates
(legitimate email misidentified as spam).
Messages that are identified as spam are blocked and delivered
to a safe, external quarantine, which can be accessed, depending
on your preference, by email administrators or end-users via regularly
emailed Spam Quarantine Reports.
Spam Control for Outlook®
MX Logic also offers a unique Spam Control for Outlook feature
which enables end users to easily click a "Delete As Spam" button
on their Outlook navigation bar to immediately delete the suspect
email from their email box, and simultaneously send the message
directly to our Threat Center for analysis and action.
Closer Look :
Primary to the effectiveness of the MX Logic Email Defense Service
is our Stacked Classification Framework® spam detection system,
which is powered by patented technology and combines the most effective
spam-fighting filters and techniques in the industry. :
- IP Reputation Connection Manager: This filter operates
at the front of the Stacked Classification Framework and rates
the reputation of every incoming message, based on IP reputation
data collected on an on-going basis by MX Logic. Connections
are dropped for all messages which originate from IP addresses
that are determined to carry a reputation for sending spam.
- Premium Anti-Spam Multi-Language: This filter provides
MX Logic with a global view of spam traffic, which enables us
to defend against real-time spam attacks and rapidly identify
zero-hour spam, regardless of language. The filter is also effective
at identifying image-based spam and phishing emails, and is
continually updated based on real-time feedback provided by
a global network of users.
- Statistical Filtering: MX Logic's probabilistic filtering
utilizes a statistical Bayesian algorithm to determine the probability
that an email message is spam based on how often elements in
that message have appeared in other spam emails.
- Sender Policy Framework (SPF)/Sender ID - For inbound
messages, MX Logic can check if the message has an associated
SPF/Sender ID record. If there is an SPF/Sender ID record, it
can help determine if the email sender’s domain is from a list
of IP addresses authorized to send email from that domain.
- Industry Heuristics: MX Logic incorporates thousands
of successful industry-wide spam-fighting rules into its filtering
layers.
- Proprietary Heuristics: Our experts write and update
thousands of proprietary rules to block spam using real-time
data from the MX Logic® Threat Center.
- Reputation Analysis: Like allow and deny lists, reputation
analysis blocks spam based on comprehensive information about
the source of the message - rating the reputation of the sender
based upon the percentage of spam messages sent from that IP
address in the past.
- URL filtering: URL filtering works by comparing embedded
links found in email messages with URLs associated with identified
spam.
- Reputation-based RBL filtering: MX Logic assigns
a level of trust to key real-time blackhole lists (RBL), which
rates the reputation of the RBL based on its accuracy at blocking
spam.
Additional filters increase protection
MX Logic employs other filters to ensure that your email is virtually
free of spam including the following domain-level allow and deny
lists and distributed black lists:
- Domain-level allow and deny lists: Specifically designed
to protect against spam, inappropriate content, and email attacks,
domain-level allow and deny lists filter and block unsolicited
messages.
- Distributed black lists: Distributed black lists comprise
a number of real-time subscription services including the Mail
Abuse Prevention System (MAPS) and MX Logic's own global deny
lists, which include multiple lists of known spammers and their
IP addresses.
- Recipient deny lists (Address): This type of filtering is
designed specifically to filter for content and relieve network
servers from attempting repeatedly to deliver mail to invalid
addresses.
- User-level allow and deny lists: Through regularly-delivered
MX Logic Spam Quarantine Reports, end users have the flexibility
to develop their own, personal allow and deny lists.
