Anti-Spam Protection with Award-Winning SpamCompiler Capabilities
from Mailshell
WOBURN, Mass. - July 31, 2006 - Reflexion
Networks, a hosted service provider of anti-spam and email
security solutions, today announced that it has integrated
award-winning SpamCompiler technology from San Francisco-based
Mailshell Inc, the OEM anti-spam leader, into its advanced
Reflexion Total Control (RTC) technology. By blending content
and sender-based analytical techniques, Reflexion both blocks
unwanted mail and proactively ensures delivery of desired
mail, restoring a pristine and trusted inbox experience
for email users. Through this partnership, Reflexion's customers
will join more than 6,000 companies and 10 million consumers
relying on "Powered by Mailshell" technology.
RTC stops spammers by incorporating the Mailshell
engine with Reflexion's unique address-based defense in
a blended model that is highly effective for users and easy
to deploy for administrators. SpamCompiler optimizes, compiles
and executes more than one million filter checks in a fraction
of a second to determine whether a message is spam. 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 consistently
generates highly accurate results in recognizing spam, phishing
and other forms of email fraud.
"With the integration of the Mailshell engine,
RTC provides the best in content filtering with powerful
new capabilities to thwart the latest spammer techniques,
such as image-based spam, and alleviate the most severe
spam problems," said David Hughes, CEO of Reflexion. "The
broad array of capabilities is highly configurable for different
user needs, and can be deployed by service providers and
email administrators in a simple, set-and-forget fashion."
Reflexion blends Mailshell's capabilities
with supplemental address technology, whitelisting, content
filtering, and inbound and outbound virus filtering in a
hosted solution that provides accurate, proactive protection
that is maintenance free. Users enjoy unparalleled control
over access to their inbox, ensuring uninterrupted access
for legitimate senders, along with other capabilities that
enhance the email experience, such as the detection of address
sharing and the use of topic-specific addresses for tracking
communications. With Reflexion's hosted model, customers
cut their anti-spam engineering and support costs to near
zero, while enjoying the added comfort of knowing that they
won't lose mail during outages of their local mail server.
"Given Mailshell's extensive history in email
security, we have a deep appreciation of the effectiveness
of Reflexion's address-based technology, including the popular
Address-on-the-Fly capability," said Eytan Urbas, vice president
of products and marketing at Mailshell. "Reflexion's blended
model provides innovative and proactive capabilities that
are not available from any other vendor."
