Server Based Anti-Spam Protection

Mega-Byte's anti-spam protection is server based and is installed directly onto the mail server or at the gateway, eliminating the deployment and administration hassle of desktop-based anti-spam products. Desktop-based anti-spam software requires separate installation on each individual machine, training users to create anti-spam rules, and having those users spend time to update their anti-spam protection frequently. Many times users may not update their spam protection or forget how to do so, causing more time and money to be spent on anti-spam protection. Also, desktop-based anti-spam software does not prevent your server message stores from filling up with spam.

Automatic Updates

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software can download updates to the spam profile database automatically, ensuring that it recognizes the latest spam and spamming techniques.

Choose What To Do With Spam

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software gives you the flexibility to choose what to do with spam. You can delete it, move it to a folder, forward the spam mail to a public email address or folder, or send it to individual customizable folders (for example, a "junk mail" folder) in the end-users' inboxes. This allows users to easily review mail that has been flagged as spam.

Ability to Archive

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software can archive all inbound and outbound email to a Microsoft SQL Server database. You can search for a particular email or an entire email thread via the included web interface. Mail archiving is essential for back-up and search reasons.

Help Tune Your Software

Administrators can easily tune the system by dragging and dropping missed spam or ham into the appropriate public folder. Mega-Byte's anti-spam software learns from what email is added to these folders to further improve its spam detection rate. Access to this feature can be controlled via use of the Public Folder security.

Whitelist/Blacklist

Whitelists enable you to ensure that mail from particular senders or domains are never flagged as spam, permitting more stringent anti-spam rules. Mega-Byte's anti-spam software includes an automatic whitelist management tool, which automatically adds mail recipients to your whitelist. This greatly reduces false positives, without any need for additional administration. Whitelists can also be built based on domain names, email addresses and keywords.

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software allows users to whitelist or blacklist senders simply by dragging and dropping the appropriate mail to a public folder. This gives users more control and reduces administration. Administrators can control access to this feature through the use of Public Folder security.

DNS Blacklists

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software supports DNS blacklists, which are databases of known spammers. If the sending mail server is on one of those lists, it marks the email as spam.

Header Analysis

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software intelligently analyzes the email header and identifies spam based on message field information. It detects forged headers, encoded IPs, spam mutation, spam sent from invalid domains, and more. It also enables you to configure keywords to check for spam using keyword checking.

New Senders

The New Senders feature provides users with an instant view of emails sent from people they never had previous contact with, thereby helping users to better organize emails in their email client. If an email is not found to be spam by Mega-Byte's anti-spam modules and is also not on the whitelist, then the New Senders module has the ability to move the email to a user's subfolder, for example, Inbox\NewSenders.

Email Validation

Spammers often try to guess recipient addresses by generating multiple random email addresses at a domain; they then send their spam mail to all those addresses. Mega-Byte's anti-spam software checks the validity of ALL the email addresses included in the mail sent, either via a query to Active Directory or through support for LDAP, and if they are not all valid, marks the mail as spam.

As most of today's spammers spoof email addresses, it is important to be able to check whether an email is genuine or if it has been sent from a forged sending address. This can be done via the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), which allows users to test whether a particular email originates from its claimed source. Mega-Byte's anti-spam software is one of the first commercial anti-spam solutions to support this framework. Its SPF module automatically checks whether the mail from a particular company was actually sent by its registered mail servers.

Report Generation

The database-driven reporting engine allows you to create advanced reports on your inbound and outbound email. You can report on the amount of spam filtered and on rules which caught most spam. You can also generate reports on user, domain and mail server usage.

Mail Monitoring

The mail monitoring feature enables you to keep a central store of the email communications of a particular person or department. By configuring the mail to be copied to an email address, all email can be stored in an Exchange or Outlook store, making searching for email or content easy.

Integration

Mega-Byte's anti-spam software integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003: It installs on the Exchange SMTP service and does not require gateway configuration. Via the SMTP protocol, it also works with Exchange 5.5, Lotus Notes and other popular SMTP/POP3 servers.
