SPAM Filtering | Anti-Virus Filter | Anti-Spam Filter | Signal Networks

Spam emails can be a problem for any business. When users are inundated with spam this can seriously effect the performance of your network as, even though the majority of these emails are not legitimate, they still need to be processessed by a server and this creates a 'bottle neck' effect when hundreds, maybe thousands of emails are trying to squeeze their way through your system. Our offsite spam management system prevents this bottle neck effect from happening as we process the spam, along with any viruses that come with it, and pass it through multiple antivirus systems which results in many benefits for your business, such as band width savings, for example.

Our antispam system allows you to offload the burden of spam to our high speed 'colo', offering protection from Viruses, Spam, Malware, Phishing and any unwanted content.

Anti-Virus Filter:

When a virus is sent within email it contains a virus signature e.g.' X5O!P%@AP...'. Anti-virus Signature Database (AVSD) 1 will then attempt to match the virus signature to its database. If it is successful, it will delete the virus. If not, the virus will move onto AVSD2 and so on. The reason that one vendor may miss a virus is because the update mechanisms of each vendor work at different speeds - so the most out of date vendors will miss the most up to date virus.

Anti-Spam Filter:

After the mail has passed through the AV management system, it then passes through the multi-layered anti-spam analysis in order for any spam emails to be removed. The legitimate emails are then passed onto the customer server. However, we do suggest that an extra AV vendor is added to the customer server to dispose of any viruses that may have been missed.
