Network Box: 2008 was a record year for spam and viruses says …
TMC Net CT
Currently spam protection has been applied using three main methods: analysis of the message content the reputation of the sender; and challenge response which works by putting the onus onto the email sender to accept a challenge from the recipient to prove who they are. Current anti-spam systems will rarely reach more than 95-98 per cent accuracy which when you consider the amount of email sent still lets through a significant number of spam emails. Challenge response systems used in isolation are notoriously unsuccessful with as little as 40 per cent of genuine email getting through the system as senders are reluctant to go through the challenge system. The difference with Network BoxA’s eMail Relationship is that it analyses and learns from behaviour of the sender and recipient of an email to give a score to the email which is applied in addition to traditional anti-spam filter analysis.
