Mailshell Engine Nearly
Perfect in VB Spam Comparative Tests
SAN FRANCISCO - September 22, 2011 - Mailshell
is among the world's most accurate spam filters, according
to the new VBSpam Comparative Test, the industry's premier
independent testing program. Mailshell accurately blocked
99.89% of spam, without a single false positive (0.0% false
positive rate). Mailshell is the leading provider of Internet
security engines for OEMs, including anti-spam, anti-phishing,
DNS Security and URL filtering. Thousands of companies and
millions of consumers rely on "Powered by Mailshell" filtering
engines for Internet security. (Read
the Report)
The two-week test, orchestrated in Virus
Bulletin's U.K.-based testing labs, included more than ten
thousand email messages per day; all participating products
received the same email stream, thereby ensuring a fair
and accurate test. The test also included a stream of newsletters,
frequently the source of errors among spam filters; Mailshell
scored perfectly, without a single error, among newsletters
as well.
According to the VB Spam report on Mailshell,
"The product's performance was very good. Mailshell blocked
an impressive 99.89% of spam. That, of course, is only half
of the picture but the other half was equally good, if not
better: no legitimate emails were missed, and no newsletters
were missed either."
"Numbers don't lie," said Eytan Urbas, vice
president at Mailshell. "Exceptional results from independent
lab tests separate the best providers from the pretenders."
Mailshell's Anti-Spam SDK provides complete
and consistently accurate protection against email fraud,
phishing and spam. The solution includes a local SDK, as
well as access to 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. Mailshell has
more than 60 LiveFeed data centers in more than 20 countries
on six continents for maximum availability and minimum latency.
Mailshell's SDKs are available on more than
10 operating systems and require as little as 32KB of code
on the device. Mailshell's SDKs are embedded into security,
networking and messaging products including software appliances,
SaaS platforms, gateway security software, desktop security
suites, UTM, mobile devices, wireless access points, firewalls,
modems, and other low memory devices. In addition to SDKs
for email protection, Mailshell offers a DNS SDK for secure,
encrypted DNS protection and the LiveFeed SDK for URL filtering
and content categorization.
