Mailshell OEM Partners Earn Kudos, Grab Honors, Versus Competitors
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26, 2009 - Mailshell,
the leading provider of SDKs for traffic reputation, anti-spam
and anti-phishing to OEMs, today extended congratulations
to several of its OEM partners whose products recently earned
awards for their excellent spam detection rates, both in
stand-alone independent tests and in shoot-outs, versus
their competitors. Partners' recent wins include Messaging
Architects becoming the first recipient of VB Platinum certification
for anti-spam, SC Magazine's review of SmoothWall's 1000-UTM
appliance and Eset Smart Security's top marks in a leading
consumer reporting magazine. Each of these award winners
integrates Mailshell engines into its products; thousands
of companies and millions of end-users rely on filters that
use Mailshell's engines to quantify traffic reputation,
and block email spam and phishing.
"We're honored to have each of these winning
companies as our partner," said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell.
"Although Mailshell's engines are only a piece of each OEM's
overall success, we're thrilled to add value that translates
into impressive reviews and shoot-out wins for our partners."
Messaging Architects, creators of M+ Guardian
email filters, became the first recipients of Virus Bulletin's
VBSpam Platinum award. In its May 2009 comparative tests,
Virus Bulletin cited M+ Guardian's, "spam catch rate more
than twice as high and a false positive rate more than twice
as low as the average in the test." Messaging Architects
recently integrated Mailshell's engine to improve overall
detection rates.
SC Magazine reviewed the SmoothGuard 1000-UTM
appliance from SmoothWall earlier this year. The product
received an overall score of four stars, and glowing comments
about its web filtering, range of security features, and
hardware specification. Additionally, the review cited the
product's "top anti-spam" and added, "the results were very
impressive: the appliance caught every bit of spam that
came in."
The June 2009 issue of the U.S.' leading
consumer reports magazine includes a review of internet
security products for consumers. Eset Smart Security, created
by Mailshell OEM partner Eset, was rated highest among subscription
suites, above 10 other products including those from Symantec,
Microsoft, Kaspersky, Zone Alarm and others. The comprehensive
reviews also compared each product's spam filter; Eset's
overall spam filter was rated as "excellent", the highest
rating available.
Each of these products also uses Mailshell
LiveFeed, a real-time data service that quantifies traffic
reputation via advanced statistical models. Unlike other
reputation services that provide only a binary 'good' or
'bad' rating, LiveFeed provides granular trust ratings with
automated adjustment over time as reputations change. By
focusing reputation on mathematical models, rather than
simply an 'IP black list' approach, LiveFeed provides more
accurate, highly scalable detection.
