MIMEsweeper’s Anti-spam Solution takes a completely different approach to stopping spam, resulting in the best detection rates (98% out of the box) as well as the fewest false positives (0% when used with Personal Message Manager).

How it works

The power of the Anti-spam Solution lies in our multi-layer spam strategy that goes far beyond simple keyword searching:

• The Engine – Screens emails by source, content, destination, attachments and executables. Every email is analyzed, acted on and managed, transparently.
• The Filter – The world-beating MIMEsweeper content filtering technology that analyzes every email using a unique combination of Bayesian classification, heuristics, textual analysis and input from the Personal Message Manager. The Filter never stops learning, so detection rates improve while false positives are eliminated.
• The Feed – The spamActive™ database includes profiles of thousands of spam mails everyday, collected from our 20 million users and hundreds of seed mail accounts. Accessed up to eight times a day to keep on top of the latest spam.
• Personal Message Manager – A radical new technology that enlists users to delete or release their own spam messages, held in quarantine. Increases detection accuracy, eliminates false positives and removes the management burden from IT staff.

MIMEsweeper™ Anti-spam Solution allows organizations to build their own anti-spam profile that becomes as personal to their company as the people who work for it. It combines three technologies to create a ‘knowledge engine’ – software that learns as it protects the organization. Any incoming emails that match the latest spam profiles immediately trigger the anti-spam policy, effectively blocking unsolicited email on sight.
