| AntiSpam-One Corporate edition |
|
| AntiSpam-One Corporate Edition is a rackable appliance which blocks spam and email attacks at the Internet gateway. It works as an SMTP proxy (also called SMTP relay), typically installed on your DMZ next to the corporate mail relay server. The only changes to be made to your existing configuration are the DNS MX Record associated with your email domains in order to route all incoming email traffic through the appliance before being sent to your mail server. The auto-install mode allows you to be up and running in minutes with a standard optimized configuration. Each incoming email goes through a series of different filters to sort out valid emails from spam.
A “spamicity” score which measures its likelihood to be spam is assigned to each email. A spam category (Adult, Hoax, Rumours, Illegal material, Chain letters) is also assigned at the end of the filtering process. Based on this information, different processing can be applied: change the subject, redirect, delete, quarantine, quotas, and trace. Specific processing can be applied to attachments or HTML content, for example, stripping out all active html components (VBS scripts, Java applets…) Through a secure web interface, each user can access a fully comprehensive report and modify their own processing policy within the limits set by the administrator. Users can also view their emails in quarantine and retrieve them if necessary. The appliance supports several authentication mechanisms internally but can also be linked to your central authentication system (LDAP, Active Directory, Radius).

| trimMail Inbox |
|
| Many email servers that worked fine two years ago stagger under today’s spam-and-virus-induced load. trimMail Inbox is a reliable anti-spam and content-filtering appliance for SMTP mail servers designed to solve this problem. It bats away spam and disables most viruses, turning under-performing turkeys back into high-flying eagles. Because it stands alone as an easy-to-use SMTP gateway, trimMail Inbox will not compete inside existing mail servers for CPU, memory or storage space.
And it will not conflict with any software or updating processes embedded in existing email servers. Properly configured, trimMail Inbox also prevents open relaying while shielding downstream anti-virus software and mail servers from Denial of Service attacks. This frees existing email servers so they can serve more mail than ever before, which delays the inconvenience and expense of migrating to new equipment and software. Automatic update and feature upgrade intervals are set by the trimMail Inbox administrator.

| MailGate |
|
Tumbleweed’s award-winning Linux-based anti-spam appliance is based on its proprietary IBF technology. IBF technology uses Artificial Intelligence to determine the intent of information rather than relying on ineffective techniques such as blacklists, white lists, signatures, or rules. IBF acts like a human reader, examining each email to see if it meets the criteria for spam, commercial bulk email from valid advertisers, or legitimate messages. It then sends the legitimate email to user mailboxes, along with any commercial email that a user wants to receive. Since IBF does not require constant updating or blacklist subscriptions, it returns high filtration and low false-positive rates. It also has an extremely low total cost of ownership (TCO). The MailGate installs in just 15 minutes on any network and immediately begins filtering email before it reaches the server. Since the MailGate prevents spam from hitting the email servers, this significantly improves server performance and bandwidth.
