Spam, a huge problem?
Spam filters are two a penny. Spam filter software and virus applications have flooded the market. The main attraction of spam software is the price, however for businesses that require multiple licenses this can become a more expensive choice that a managed spam filter like Cerberus. Server based applications are a better bet but can suffer from the same disadvantages listed below.
Probably the greatest disadvantage of spam filter-applications is that spammers can easily access the technology for free in terms of a trial and quickly work out effective ways to ensure their spam gets straight through the filter. Of course the software can be upgraded with new releases and bug fixes but the process is slow and the spammers are always one step ahead, seemingly second guessing the spam filter and easily bombarding a network with junk mail.
One of the advantages of cerberus over an application is that its methods for combating spam are less reliant on a structured set of rules that are laid down in hard code so to speak. Cerberus has a choice of over a 100 mail rules and spam filter additions. (see how Cerberus spam filter works)
Cerberus spam filter is monitored by a human team of IT Engineers who are spam savvy and have years of experience in spotting new spamming methods and adjusting Cerberus spam filter to combat the new new spam and virus threats.
Cerberus also makes full use of Bayesian filters (see bayesian -spam filters) Bayesian filters have the advantage that they are constantly learning not just from studying the spam they block but also from legitimate mail. Knowall, the company that developed Cerberus calls this 'Intelligent Growth.'
Possibly one of the most important advantage Cerberus -spam filter has over more conventional spam software is that it can be tailored too suit a clients spam protection needs.
One of our clients a zoo requires a low level of spam protection, as they see themselves very much as a public portal. Several of our recruitment clients require words like cv, work, job removed from spam words lists. Medical clients need entire spam systems of their own as typical spam words like prescription and drug need to be handled with care. (see spam protection levels)
The low cost of electronic communications has both benefits and drawbacks. Most of it take for granted. However what many of us in London and the UK are beginning to discover, however, is that there are hundreds of thousands of marketers out there who want to send written communications to our desktops at a negligible cost. These unexpected, unsolicited and often intrusive emails are referred to as Spam.
Knowall IT Solution's (London) white paper is intended to help you understand how to stop spam emails with or without the use of an email spam filter like Cerberus Spam filter or DNS blacklist.
Our knowledge of this subject relates to Internet connectivity in general and stems from Knowall's own seven years experience in the field of junk email / Spam and Virus prevention
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), the underlying backbone of Internet messaging, provides no real mechanism to verify the validity of the actual email sender, making it an anonymous electronic transport mechanism. Spammers hide behind this anonymity, not hampered by an electronic "paper trail" or the consequences of breaking UK -spam laws.
