Spam Protection
SpamShark uses several methods of email analysis to protect you from spam, including fingerprinting, rules-based scoring and custom spam filter management. SpamShark’s fingerprinting technology takes a “digital picture” of each message and matches it against known profiles of spam emails to detect unwated email and flag it as spam. In addition, messages are scored against SpamShark’s proprietary database of spam rules, assigning scores to each message based on more than 20,00 unique characteristics of spam and legitimate mail. When a message’s score reaches a defined threshold, it is flagged as spam. For additional email security, SpamShark customers can adjust the level of spam filtering in their inbox, providing control over what messages you receive.
Spam Prevention
At the edge of our network, SpamShark deploys sever layers of technology to prevent spam from entering. RTAP, SpamShark’s proprietary email traffic analysis technology, detects in real-time anomilies in email traffic in order to block incomming connections from spammers. SpamShark uses IP-based authentication to ensure email is coming from a known sender as well as who it claims to be from. SpamShark also employs its own reputation database with lists of the most flagrant spammers to prevent unwanted message delivery.
