Mailshell's SpamCompiler
Brings New Muscle to Lyris Product
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, February 10, 2005 -
Lyris' MailShield Server provides highly advanced, cost-efficient
mail filtering and tracking, and now includes Mailshell
SpamCompiler version 3.2, which optimizes, compiles
and executes more than one million filter checks in
a fraction of a second. SpamCompiler technology combines
a fast, compact, flexible decision tree with an intelligent,
self-tuning engine.
"Our MailShield customers include major,
multi-national corporations with high-volume messaging,
so we needed a solution that could easily scale to their
needs," said Luis Rivera, General Manager of Lyris Technologies.
"Mailshell's SpamCompiler was the clear OEM frontrunner
because it's extremely sophisticated, yet also lightening-fast."
Lyris MailShield Server launched in 1998
and offers administrators a wide choice of filters and
rules to protect enterprise installations. MailShield
Server 4.0 is available with either a Standard feature
set in Windows or Solaris, or a Pro feature set for
Windows. Each version incorporates Mailshell's SpamCompiler
technology. The Pro version offers an extra degree of
transparency by recording all SMTP transactions and
providing a complete, searchable audit trail of every
incoming and outgoing message.
Mailshell's SpamCompiler SDK, the embedded
engine in Lyris MailShield Server, is the world's leading
anti-spam engine licensed by over 20 US and International
OEMs and used by more than 5,000 enterprises and 10
million consumers on over a dozen platforms. The SDK
starts at 200k of code, can handle more than two million
messages a day, and can be embedded anywhere in the
email flow. Mailshell's OEM partners generate new anti-spam
revenue, upsell existing products to new anti-spam customers,
and cut anti-spam engineering and support costs to near
zero.
