Why OMNIQUAD Spam Blocker?
E-mail's phenomenal success as the tool for all communications has been accompanied by an explosion in the number and types of junk. Spam, phishing mails, advertisement/ promotional mails and offensive e-mails have choked our virtual throats. This drawback of technology has made our lives miserable as the average amount of Spams is more than 50%. This has meant lot of mental harassment, monitory loss and even more loss of time, all together, huge growth in the amount of resources needed for the management of mail.
How does OMNIQUAD Spam Blocker work?
Spam Blocker automatically identifies and moves spam mails into a special 'Spams' folder and ensures that only legitimate mail reaches your Inbox. As the mail arrives in the Process folder, it is immediately scanned for all the Spam signature sets in the OMNIQUAD database and is scored accordingly by the Spam Blocker plug-in. This spam score then decides whether the e-mail is Spam or legitimate. All the e-mails which have more than OMNIQUAD's preset score as the spam score, will be delivered to the Spam folder and rest of the mails (legitimate ones) will as usual reach your inbox.
The Technology
The plugin automatically updates itself and gets the latest spam signatures. It uses the keywords in the message headers and message body, domain, Spam blacklists and also the internal Banned and Safe Lists to determine the probability of a mail being Spam and assigns the mail a score. Mails with scores above a preset threshold are marked as spam. Mails from people you correspond with are safely delivered to your Inbox. Any e-mail address from your safe list will override the spam-score rule and the mail will be delivered to your inbox.
