Anti-Spam Protection

Our email server blocks out unwanted spam at the server level making email communication more usable. The anti-spam solution blocks as much as 90% of all spam which is 100% guaranteed junk email i.e. genuine mails would never get blocked.

Dictionary Harvest Attack Protection

Spammers have started using advanced methods such as Directory Harvest Attacks (DHAs) to collect corporate email addresses and add them to their spam lists. A typically DHA works by trying to deliver emails to addresses in a spammers dictionary of common email addresses at your domain name for e.g. john.smith@yourdomain.com, jsmith@yourdomain.com, john@yourdomain.com, johnsmith@yourdomain.com etc. Email addresses of emails that are not rejected by your email server are assumed to be real and are compiled in to spam lists and sold to several other spammers around the world. So even if you have been giving out your email address to trusted friends and business associates only, have taken extra care to not use it while signing up for any service, and never used it while posting on online forums - your extra-guarded email address still gets spam if successfully harvested through a DHA attack. Further, the damage caused by DHAs isn't just more spam - as if that wasn't bad enough - a large DHA or multiple simultaneous DHAs act like a denial-of-service attack and can deteriorate your email service or worse bring down your email server.

Our email systems automatically detect DHA attacks and nip them in the bud. They are designed to protect your accounts from extremely large attacks. Our systems are successfully blocking several such attacks on a daily basis.

Mail Bomb Protection

Email Bombing involves sending of a large number of and/or excessively large-sized unwanted emails to a single email address, with the aim to prevent normal use of the mailbox. Our systems have built-in protection against such attacks.

Email Server Flooding Protection

Email Server Flooding is a type of denial-of-service attack. It involves sending of a exceptionally large number of unwanted emails to one or more email address on an email server using multiple threads, with the aim to degrade the performance of the email server by choking all available SMTP connections and other resources. Our filtering systems use state-of-the-art technology to detect such attacks and launch counter-measures to protect our email servers.
