Improved phishing/scam/spam filtering

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

To help reduce quantity of spam arriving in customers mailboxes, we are now checking all inbound email against Sane Security’s phishing and scam filers. These are specifically aimed at so called phishing emails and scam emails (such as 419 scams).

We are have also added the MSRBL blacklists, on a trail basis. This is an attempt to filter our as much image-base spam as possible. We are currently quarantining any email caught using these filters and checking regularly for false positives (we had none during testing).

This is in addition to the existing measures we use (such as various RBLs and statistical analysis of email).
