Commtouch Spam Booster

Commtouch Spam Booster Overview:

Commtouch Spam Booster is a premium extension to Spam Blocker that adds an enterprise-class layer of protection against annoying, offensive and time-wasting unsolicited bulk email.  Commtouch Spam Booster enables administrators to:

• Detect over 98% of spam messages in SMTP, POP & IMAP
• Minimize false positives with the industry's highest accuracy levels
• Detect zero hour virus outbreaks with patented Recurrent Pattern Detection technology

Recurrent Pattern Detection™ technology

Commtouch's Recurrent Pattern Detection™ (RPD) technology is a service "in the cloud."  Rather than evaluating each individual message, RPD technology analyzes large volumes of Internet traffic in real-time. New spam and malware outbreaks are identified as soon as they emerge, and recorded in the Commtouch Detection Center. On the Untangle Server, Commtouch Spam Booster then queries the Commtouch Detection Center and receives message classification in real-time. The result is instant protection from new outbreaks – far ahead of signatures or software updates.  Esteemed analysts agree that Commtouch achieves the industry's best detection/accuracy performance (Osterman Research) and "detects and blocks spam in the first few minutes of an outbreak, unlike other anti-spam approaches" (IDC).

Key Features:

• Integrates seamlessly with Spam Blocker
• Blocks any Spam outbreak with 98% detection and near zero false positives
• Blocks viruses within seconds of any new outbreak
• High accuracy in any format or language
• Quarantine Digest— Commtouch's technology is highly is optimized to make sure “good” mail is never mistaken for spam. However, if a “good” mail is ever identified as spam, the quarantine digest gives each user their own personal “quarantine” list that they can manage on their own
• Personal Passlist—users can designate certain email addresses as “good” without having to bother your IT person
• Image based filtering — scans images within emails to stop this new type of spam
• PDF based filtering — protection from spam leveraging PDF attachments
• POP, IMAP & SMTP support
• Reports give a comprehensive view of the spam environment on your network, including  the source of the spam and how much spam is received in aggregate and by user
