Slam the spam

Email solution provider 24x365.net has introduced a new service providing domain level SPAM scrubbing. This new solution dubbed "FlyTrap for SPAM" can be implemented in 15 minutes and will provide a major reduction in SPAM content for an entire company's domain. Until now, most anti-SPAM or UBE (unsolicited bulk e-mail) solutions have depended on client installations, which are time consuming to install and maintain in a company or domain environment. With the introduction of this new service by 24x365.net, tens to 1000s of e-mail users can have their e-mail scrubbed of offending SPAM quickly and easily. The cost is $20/mailbox/yr with a minimum of ten mailboxes required. Using multiple layers of detection and providing grading of incoming e-mail, the goal is to identify and block 100’per cent of the SPAM and achieve 0 per cent false positives (marking a good message as SPAM). All e-mail scrubbing takes place on 24x365 servers, based on a parallel/concurrent processing model. The system allows for e-mail processing of up to 10,000 messages per minute and is scaleable if larger throughput is needed. Multiple levels of redundancy and other features such as content rejection and "store and forward" e-mail services are also available. Check the website at www.24x365.net for more details.
