 |
When ArmourPlate Anti Spam discovers a spam mail, what
happens? |
 |
Spam emails are stopped and placed
in a separate Spam mailbox for each user. This can be viewed via the Web
Interface and moved to a user's Inbox if desired. Occasionally, an email has 'borderline' spam characteristics;
this will be placed in a "Possible Spam" mailbox and an alert mail
is sent to the user. Spam email is deleted after 30 days. |
 |
How do we know that the email we receive has definitely
been scanned? |
 |
A footer will appear on all scanned
email advising you that it has been scanned. |
 |
Can we tailor the email filtering to our company or individual
user requirements? |
 |
Yes, you can do both. At company and
user level you can add sender addresses to your 'White Lists'
and block sender addresses using company and user 'Black Lists'.
This way, within a short space of time, each company and user
should have complete control over the emails that they wish
to receive. |
 |
How do you keep track of new spamming techniques? |
 |
The ArmourPlate spam scanner, Robot
5, uses proprietary technology to combat spammers as they
continually change their methodology to try and avoid
detection. The ArmourPlate Anti Spam team constantly
reviews the characteristics of spam mail and revises the Robot
5 system "Rules" to counteract new techniques
being used by spammers in order to safeguard your company's email
security. |
