Spam Blocking
Unsolicited commercial e-mail, or Spam, is a productivity-sapping, resource-draining threat to business collaboration. To combat the increasingly sophisticated techniques employed by spammers, Moxy Media, Inc. has choosen to fight back with a multi-layered approach that combines a broad range of techniques to turn Spam’s own objectives, characteristics, and defenses against itself.
Each of our clients' e-mails are automatically scanned using Moxy Media's Anti-Spam Software, which stops Spam and reduces false-positives with more than 20 different strategies, such as:
- Bayesian statistical filters
Over time, these filters “learn” to separate Spam from legitimate mail by continuously analyzing incoming messages and identifying the phrases and attributes that characterize Spam.
- Real-time Blackhole Lists (RBLs)
These lists use third-party services that include domain names and IP addresses of known spammers to block Spam.
- Advanced HTML Filtering
This technology enables ICS to defeat attempts by spammers to use HTML formatting tricks to bypass simple content filters. It removes HTML tags and comments prior to the statistical analysis of the words in the message, and detects a wide range of other formatting tactics.
- Kill Lists
Kill lists enable you to block Spam coming from specific domains or email addresses.
- Trusted IP Addresses and White Lists
These lists of trusted e-mail addresses or IP addresses minimize false-positives.
These techniques are applied at multiple levels including connection filtering, SMTP filtering, content filtering and delivery rules. In addition to blocking e-mail Spam, ICS puts a stop to annoying instant messaging Spam too, because the entire IM system is under your control.
