Proven Performance
The technology employed by Spam Soap continues to earn recognition for its effectiveness in protecting businesses from email threats.
This innovative service was honored as the Best Managed Email Service in the 2006 SC Magazine Reader Trust Technology Awards, and was selected as a 2005 Product of the Year by SearchExchange.com.
Spam Soap’s Core Filtering technology also received five stars—the highest available rating—in the VeriTest Anti-Spam Benchmark Service Summer 2005 Report. The high rating was a result of filtering performance in the vendor-tuned portion of the independent test, in which it posted a 99.76% Spam Capture Rate. In the “out of the box” configuration, our technology posted a capture rate of 99.71%.
Secure Message Delivery with TLS
Spam Soap’s Core Filtering supports SMTP over TLS, providing email delivery encryption which allows customers to easily send and receive email over a secure, end-to-end encrypted tunnel. Spam Soap accepts and filters encrypted inbound and outbound messages and delivers them across a secure tunnel when recipients are TLS enabled. Unlike other email encryption services, Spam Soap TLS encryption is included by default with no additional setup or charge for guaranteed end-to-end encryption.
Removing the risk of delivery failure
Spam Soap’s proxy-based filtering approach also removes the risk of delivery failure that results from ‘network islanding,’ which occurs when the destination server identifies a message as undeliverable and the message becomes stranded between the originating server and its destination. Our proxy-based filtering removes this risk by never accepting responsibility for the delivery of legitimate message traffic.
Add-on Outbound Filtering
