SafePoint Anti-Spam Firewall – Product Overview

Eliminate 98% of Spam before it gets to your mail server.

Everyone agrees that Spam is one of the biggest problems on the Internet these days. Networks, mail servers and user inboxes are being overwhelmed by the ever rising flood of Spam, Viruses, Phishing Scams and other unwanted email, which some estimates now place at being between 70-90% of all email received.

This constant flood of Spam not only clogs networks and adversely impacts user inboxes, but also drains valuable resources such as bandwidth and storage capacity and interferes with the expedient delivery of legitimate emails.

The administration costs of dealing with the flood of Spam and other unwanted email are estimated to be as much as $800 per mailbox per year, resulting in a total cost of billions of dollars per year in lost productivity.

The SafePoint Anti-Spam Firewall is a hosted email gateway appliance incorporating a comprehensive Spam and Virus filtering solution that ensures all email arriving at your mail server and network is Spam and Virus free.

The SafePoint is positioned “in front” of your existing email server and is able to immediately start working to block and filter up to 98% of all Spam/UCE (“unsolicited commercial email”) and Virus infected emails using it’s default “out of the box” settings alone.

These detection rates can be further improved by the automatic self-tuning and learning mechanisms built into the SafePoint system as well as by adjustments made to the Spam Scanning and Filtering engine.
