Ask any internet user what their number-one online annoyance is, and undoubtedly you will get the following response: "Spam!"

Today, between 45% and 50% of all email worldwide is spam, and that number is expected to reach 70% by 2007. To deal with this unpleasant reality, companies of all sizes are now relying on intelligent spam filtering tools to do their spam filtering for them. One of the front-runners in the realm of spam filtering is MX Logic. MX Logic uses a very comprehensive, multi-layered approach to email filtering that boasts over 98% accuracy, with a false positive rate of less than 0.002%.

Unlike most spam filtering solutions, which use one or two spam-classification techniques, MX Logic's Stacked Classification Framework(SM) combines the most effective spam filters and techniques in the industry, currently leveraging the strengths of five spam-fighting filters including:

• Bayesian Statistical Analysis - calculates the probability that an email message is spam.
  
  
• Heuristics Rules-Based Analysis - emails are scanned using thousands of accepted rules that help identify the characteristics of spam.
  
  
• Distributed Checksum Matching - like a "spam fingerprint" the checksum of every known spam email is stored in a database. If an email matches or closely resembles these fingerprints, then it is likely spam.
  
  
• Distributed Deny Lists and Global Deny Lists - external, public blacklists are consulted. These blacklists contain the IP Addresses, relay servers, and other identities of known spammers.
  
  
• Customer-Defined Deny and Allow Lists - you may create customized lists of the email addresses, domain names, or IP addresses that you would like to always block, or always allow. In other words, you can create your own White- and Black-Lists.

Each of the five filters dynamically calculates the spam probability of every message. Through a combination and analysis of these spam-likelihood scores, the patent-pending, multi-layered spam detection system provides extremely effective blocking of spam.

MX Logic provides FastWebServer with continual updates to the filters, while also introducing new filtering techniques to stay on top of spammers.

Powered by leading Sophos® virus-scanning technology, email is scanned for viruses before it enters or leaves your domain, providing continuous proactive virus protection. Administrators can determine specific actions for email containing a virus including strip, quarantine, and deny. AntiVirus is included free of charge with the AntiSpam addon.

Automatically filter and quarantine inappropriate content and attachments before they enter a your organization's or family's mailbox. Filters can be created, altered, enhanced, neutralized or deleted. You can also configure content and attachment filtering through an intuitive web-based Administrative interface. When a policy violation occurs, a silent copy of the violation can also be sent to an alternative email address (e.g., HR manager or parent). Content and attachment filtering is included free of charge with the AntiSpam addon.

AntiSpam's innovative spam quaratine process allows you to easily manage your spam quaranties. The quarantine management system sends a "Spam Quaratine Report" to your email inbox. Via this email report, you can simply and quickly delete, forward, white list and/or blacklist quarantined email. Since you only receive a single email containing your quarantine information, this can significantly reduce the amount of time you spend managing spam and related issues. Just one click within this report email will release an email from quarantine, white-or black-list an address, or delete an email.
