Description:
Spam is more than a nuisance; it is a costly threat that poses significant security and business risks. It can bog down your email servers, reduce employee productivity, and expose your business to legal liabilities and risk of data leakage. And it is barraging email servers and users with new variations—like image spam, where messages are embedded in a graphic—that are more difficult to detect and block.
With McAfee SpamKiller for Mail Servers, you have a proven defense against the costs and risks associated with spam. SpamKiller catches up to 97 percent of all spam email, with a low false-positive identification rate. SpamKiller also detects and stops potential phishing scams that can trick users into disclosing confidential personal or company data or can lead to financial loss resulting from fraud.
SpamKiller combines multiple detection methods including:
- Image detection identifies and blocks image spam and lets legitimate images into your inbox.
- Integrity analysis scans the header and layout of each email message to identify characteristics common to spam.
- Heuristic detection protects you against phishing scams and against first-time spam that does not contain any URLs, such as “pump-and-dump” penny stock offers.
- Bayesian filtering evaluates your email for spam and non-spam based on criteria that are relevant to your business
- Content filtering checks messages for spam by scanning keywords, phrases, and embedded URLs
- Blacklists and whitelists let administrators and users determine which messages should be blocked and which ones should be allowed through
SpamKiller for Mail Servers leverages your investment in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, our centralized, single-console policy enforcement and management tool. With ePolicy Orchestrator, you can centrally manage all your protection—anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and web filtering.
