Spam Filters 

Tech The Right Way is pleased to announce that we have partnered with GFI to provide our customers with SPAM software. We have tested this software for several months now and have it deployed at our location. We have found that this software is the most cost effective as well as being easy to deploy and user friendly.  

This Software easily installs into your existing network on a Windows 2000 Computer that is running Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 or an SMTP/POP3 Mail Server like Mdaemon. 

Below are some of the features: 

Server-based anti-spam  
GFI MailEssentials is server-based and installs on the mail server or at the gateway, eliminating the deployment and administration hassle of desktop-based anti-spam products. Desktop-based anti-spam involves training your users to create anti-spam rules sets, and subsequently users have to spend time updating these rules. Besides, this system does not prevent your server message stores from filling up with spam. 

Bayesian filtering technology  
GFI MailEssentials features Bayesian filtering technology to detect spam based on message content. Rather than just checking for keywords, GFI's Bayesian filter takes the whole message into consideration as well as the content of valid emails that you send (known as 'ham'). This gives it a tremendous advantage over other anti-spam solutions that only take spam into account. Bayesian filters are widely acclaimed to be the best way to tackle spam because they use statistical intelligence to analyze the content of the mail. In short, Bayesian filtering has the following advantages: 

Looks at the whole message  
Adapts itself over time  
Sensitive/adaptive to the company/user  
Multilingual and international  
Hard to trick.  
Mail header analysis & keyword checking GFI MailEssentials intelligently analyzes the email header and identifies spam based on message field information. It detects forged headers, spam mutation, spam sent from invalid domains, and more. It also enables you too configure keywords to check for spam using keyword checking. 

3rd party DNS blacklists (DNSBL) checking  
GFI MailEssentials supports third party DNS blacklists (real time black hole lists), which are databases of known spammers. If the sending mail server is on one of those lists, GFI MailEssentials marks the email as spam. GFI MailEssentials supports popular third party blacklists such as ORDB, SpamHaus, Spamcop or RBL. GFI also supports custom blacklists. 

Block foreign language spam  
GFI MailEssentials can block mail that uses particular character sets. For example, you can greatly reduce spam simply by blocking all mails written in Japanese, Russian, Korean, etc. 

Automatic whitelist management reduces false positives  
Whitelists enable you to ensure that mail from particular senders or domains are never flagged as spam, permitting more stringent anti-spam rules. GFI MailEssentials includes a patented automatic whitelist management tool, which automatically adds all business partners to your whitelist. This greatly reduces false positives, without any need for additional administration. 

Advanced spam handling  
GFI MailEssentials gives you the flexibility to choose what to do with spam. You can delete it, move it to a folder, forward the spam mail to a public email address or folder, or send it to individual customizable folders (for example, a “junk mail” folder) in the end-users’ inboxes. This allows users to easily review mail that has been flagged as spam. 

Fake non-delivery reports (NDRs)  
GFI MailEssentials bounces spam back to the sender with a false non-delivery report. This NDR leads them to believe that your address is invalid, and gets your organization’s addresses off spam lists. 

Company-wide disclaimer/footer/header text  
GFI MailEssentials enables you to add disclaimers to the top or bottom of an email. Text and HTML formats are supported. You can include fields/variables to personalize the disclaimer. You can also create multiple disclaimers and associate them with a user, group or domain. 

Mail archiving to a database  
GFI MailEssentials allows you to archive all inbound and outbound Internet mail. This enables you to keep a back-up of all email communications and easily search for a required message. This also allows you to comply with SEC and other regulations that require you to archive email correspondence. 

Reports on spam filtering and mail usage  
The GFI MailEssentials reporter creates advanced reports on your inbound and outbound email. You can report on how much spam you filtered and what rules caught most spam. You can generate reports on user, domain and mail server usage. 

Mail monitoring  
The mail monitoring feature enables you to keep a central store of the email communications of a particular person or department. Because you can configure the mail to be copied to an email address, all email can be stored in an Exchange or Outlook store, so that you can easily search for email or content. 

Personalized server-based auto replies with tracking number  
With server-based, personalized replies, you can advise your customers that their message has been received and who will handle it. GFI MailEssentials assigns a tracking number to each reply and can also include attachments.
