Description of dSPAM Standard
:
The dSPAM range of email filtering products is designed to rid your mailbox of the never-ending tide of unsolicited junk email ("spam") that threatens to swamp it. dSPAM is a dedicated email filtering system, employing a combination of "key-phrase" matching, heuristic analysis, blacklists and trusted lists to provide a range of levels of protection against unsolicited email messages, combined with real-time program updates for maximum security. The key phrase filters for dSPAM are updated by real live human technicians, based on the contents of actual "spam" messages received in our "honey pot" mailboxes dotted around the Internet. Updates are posted on an hourly, or even minute-by-minute basis. Users also have the option of reporting to us any unwanted messages that make it through, via the integrated notification system. Email addresses (or whole domains) can be marked as "trusted", in which case all emails from that source are accepted, whatever their content. Alternatively, addresses and domains can be added to your own personal blacklist - useful for those mailing lists that you once joined, but where unsubscribing has become a problem. dSPAM can also be set to reject emails with different types of suspicious HTML content. These exploits include the "Iframes" and rogue ActiveX controls that can be used to attack your computer, and the in-line images that can be used to identify your email address as "live" to the spammers. dSPAM works with all POP3 email clients, such as Outlook Express, Outlook and Eudora. This Standard Edition offers protection for up to 5 mailboxes. Advanced users can access POP3 mailboxes directly, with the ability to browse, read, delete and retrieve individual email messages from the remote mail server. dSPAM is available as a 15-day trial version, after which an updates licence is required, renewable on a yearly basis. |
