PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway--Get Precisely the Email You
Want
Spam is more than just a nuisance; studies indicate that it has a
substantial cost impact to an organization. Time wasted deleting junk
e-mail costs American businesses nearly $22 billion a year, according
to a new study from the University of Maryland. Spam also contributes
the added cost of network and system consumption and it exposes
organizations to legal liability due to creating a hostile work
environment. Furthermore, an extensive amount of damage can be done
when email is used for phishing attacks where fraud messages are used
for identity theft, or infecting users with viruses or Trojan horses.
The Solution
To solve this problem, Process Software leveraged its 20 years of
experience in selling and supporting mission-critical email and
networking solutions to offer PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway enterprise
software solution. It eliminates spam, phishing and virus threats at
the Internet gateway or email server without losing legitimate
messages. PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway's multi-layered filtering
engine has a proven out-of-the-box spam detection accuracy rate of 98%
without losing legitimate messages. It runs on Linux, Unix, and OpenVMS
and has the flexibility to operate in any email environment. It may be
deployed as a standalone SMTP proxy solution in front of any email
gateway or integrated into an email server, such as Sendmail, Sun Java
Messaging Server, or Process Software's PMDF Messaging Server. It
scales to large organizations using multiple MTAs where synchronization
of data between them is a requirement.

PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway needs minimal administration to filter
spam effectively. The web-based administrator interface centralizes all
configuration, management, and reporting tasks. It includes effective
pre-configured policy settings, and it also provides system
administrators the ability to customize the product to their site's
requirements. Customization options include tuning filter thresholds,
writing your own filter rules, and enabling or disabling any feature on
the end user web interface.

Everyone's definition of spam is unique. PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway
gives each user the option to determine what is spam and what is not
spam, giving them precisely the email they want. Using an intuitive web
interface, users can set their spam filter preferences such as tagging
and/or quarantining suspected spam messages, reviewing and retrieving
messages from quarantine, setting email notification summary of
quarantined messages, changing filter thresholds, and more. Although
there is extensive user flexibility, PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway is
designed for all skill levels so that no training is required. With its
web-based interface and logical design, users can participate in
defining spam as much or as little as they want. Giving email users
control over spam allows them to contribute to the solution. The result
is higher user satisfaction and greater return on solution investment.

Process Software's 20-years of experience combined with PreciseMail
Anti-Spam Gateway's high filter detection accuracy rate and flexible
web user interface has made it a popular solution among enterprises and
universities. After deploying PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway to protect
over 20,000 email users at the University of Canterbury, the IT manager
noted, "PreciseMail is an effective out-of-the-box solution, filtering
98% of the spam. With such a diverse range of users in a highly
specialized environment, this tool has proved to be invaluable to the
University." At Middlesex University where over 24,000 email users are
protected by PreciseMail Anti-Spam Gateway, the security team leader
said, "The web-based interface is self-explanatory. The intuitive
interface combined with user education resulted in few Help Desk
inquiries."
