Perimeter Protection – VersentFilter intercepts messages before they reach your network.

Redundant Email Servers – VersentFilter uses an array of redundant servers to ensure that at least one server will always be available to deliver mail. Each server set is equipped with VersentFilter’s proprietary Spam detection system that utilizes more than 60 types of filtering techniques. All servers also contain multiple anti-virus engines and proprietary detection systems that rid incoming email of worms, viruses, phishing attempts and other protocol-based vulnerabilities.

Virus Scanning - In today's world, viruses are the favorite tool used by spammers to enable the mass delivery of spam. VersentFilter uses three anti-virus engines which are updated every 10 minutes to ensure the signature databases are current. VersentFilter’s detection system is used to identify and block unknown viruses providing an extra layer of virus protection. Emails that fail any of the anti-virus tests are routed to the Virus Quarantine for review by the system administrators.

Spam Trap - The VersentFilter Spam Filtering system uses the results from a blend of leading spam identification techniques to determine whether a message is legit or belongs in the Spam Quarantine. Some of these tests include internal and external RBL checks, routing analysis, signature and heuristic content inspection and reputation review. Drawing on our worldwide spam traps the system is updated between 500 and 2500 times per day providing consistent spam capture rates of up to 99%.

User Quarantine - Messages that are identified as spam or containing a virus are parked in VersentFilter’s offsite Spam or Virus Quarantine. The detained emails can be viewed and/or released by administrators or individual users depending on the configuration selected by the administrator. User-level logins as well as email reports eliminate anxiety over potential false positives and optionally allow tracked message releases.
