Rockliffe Upgrades MailSite
Spam Technology by Integrating the Mailshell Anti-Spam and
Anti-Phishing Engine
CAMPBELL, CA, Nov. 7, 2005 - Rockliffe, the
leading developer of high quality email server and email
security software for service providers and businesses,
today announced the integration of the award-winning SpamCompiler
anti-spammer and anti-phisher engine from Mailshell into
its MailSite mail server software products. The announcement
comes after several months of extensive testing by Rockliffe's
development team and a successful beta period among Rockliffe
customers. More than 6,000 companies and 10 million consumers
already rely on 'Powered by Mailshell' products to block
spammers and phishers.
By integrating Mailshell's SpamCompiler engine,
MailSite customers see consistently accurate levels of anti-spammer
and anti-phisher protection. SpamCompiler optimizes, compiles
and executes more than one million filter checks in a fraction
of a second to determine if a message is spam or not. By
combining a fast, compact, flexible, complete decision tree
with an automatically self-tuning intelligent engine that
is updated every five minutes, Mailshell's SpamCompiler
engine consistently generates highly accurate results in
recognizing spam, phishing and other forms of email fraud.
"Our customers have been very pleased with
the performance and accuracy of the Mailshell engine and
its five-minute update mechanism," said John Davies, CEO
of Rockliffe. "Mailshell's unique reputation-based filtering
gives our customers top quality, reliable protection against
emerging forms of spam and email-based fraud."
The Mailshell SpamCompiler engine complements
MailSite's powerful, flexible Sieve filtering technology
which enables administrators and end users to reject, delete,
deliver or re-file messages based on rules, including white
lists and black lists. Tight integration with the MailSite
SMTP engine ensures that message throughput speeds continue
to meet the needs of large service providers.
"We've been impressed by the strength of Rockliffe's
customer relationships as well as its focus on customer
satisfaction," said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell. "Rockliffe's
global installed base is a testament to MailSite's high
quality and the company's overall focus on customer service."
