Supra Canada's latest anti spam offering aims at preventing unsolicited messages from reaching your network. The reason for increasing spam is the cheap bandwidth available in and lax laws of many countries. The amount of spam received varies with the age of your email address; if you have an address say 5 years old, an astonishing 80 - 95 % of email received may be spam.
To detect spam, we use a sophisticated layers of filters for Anti-Spam and Antivirus programs at our Datacenter. Our systems use a comprehensive scoring system. Your messages are scanned & filtered on our anti spam servers stopping upto 97% of spam. As with other Supra’s Managed services, you do not need a server at your premises, nor technical help.
Scanning process
-
It looks for words and phrases in the email message as well as a number of signs that are typical of spam.
-
It looks for the same that are typically not of spam, assigning a negative score for such signs
-
It uses a world-wide collaboration system, where information about spam is shared in real time.
Each message is given a cumulative score based on this analysis. The higher the score, the more likely it is to be spam.
Process of subscription
To subscribe to this service, you must set your mail pointer to point to our anti-spam servers. Scanned mail is then forwarded to your existing mail system. We will offer complete support in the switchover.
