Mailshell SDK Selected
as a Finalist for 2006 SC Award for Best Anti Spam
SANTA CLARA, CA - December 6, 2005 - SC
Magazine named the Mailshell SDK, the most widely deployed
OEM engine to identify new forms of spam, phishing and
email fraud, as a finalist in the 2006 SC Awards' Reader
Trust Technology Awards for the Best Anti-Spam. The
Mailshell SDK, featuring Mailshell's SpamCompiler technology,
was named a finalist based on reader voting from among
more than two dozen products originally nominated. More
than 6,000 companies and 10 million consumers already
rely on 'Powered by Mailshell' products to block spammers
and phishers.
"The honor of being the first OEM
product named a finalist for the Best Anti Spam award
validates our selection as OEM provider by some of the
world's most respected security software companies,"
said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell. "Many of our OEMs
evaluated our engine for more than a year before integrating
it into their products and deploying it to their customers
worldwide. This award reflects the trust they place
in us."
By integrating the Mailshell SDK with
SpamCompiler technology into their products, Mailshell's
OEM partners see consistently accurate levels of anti-spammer
and anti-phisher protection. The engine 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 engine consistently generates highly accurate
results in recognizing spam, phishing and other forms
of email fraud.
Mailshell's software helps its OEM partners,
including Computer Associates, Oracle Corporation, CyberGuard,
Panda Software, Earthlink's Aluria division, ZyXEL,
Broderbund, Rockliffe and Lyris Technologies, among
others, generate new anti-spam revenue, upsell existing
products to new anti-spam customers, and cut anti-spam
engineering and support costs to near zero. Companies
can integrate the Mailshell Engine into their existing
product or application using Mailshell's development
toolkit, the Mailshell Anti-Spam SDK. Mailshell's SpamCompiler
developers hold nearly 30 patents in database modeling
and design, and are leading experts in using Artificial
Intelligence technology to compile high-level languages
into optimized code. For more information on Mailshell
