WaveOne Spam Filtering & Rules

Anti-Spam
The impact spam has is enormous: it takes time to delete; is a distraction from reading important email; takes up network resources to store the email messages and bandwidth to receive, deliver and bounce messages; and it can be offensive. Our new anti-spam features include:

Connection Filtering

  • Real-time Blackhole Lists (RBL) lists third party services that include domain names and IP addresses of known spammers; Comes with 5 free RBL lists by default and can be configured with additional ones by the administrator like ORDB or MAPS.

  • Verify the MAIL FROM validates that the MAIL FROM address actually exists.

  • Perform Reverse DNS Lookup verifies the DNS record for the sending servers IP address.

  • Verify the EHLO/HELO domain validates that the sending mail server domain exists in DNS.

  • Kill Lists (block by domain or email address)

  • Trusted IP Addresses

    • Content Filtering

  • Bayesian statistical filters use spam's characteristics against itself. Words are analyzed based on how frequently they appear in good email versus bad email. Then the message is assigned a probability of being spam.

  • Phrase Filtering searches for phrases in the body of the messages.

  • Trusted IP Addresses & White Lists of trusted e-mail or IP addresses that will allow messages through, minimizing false positives.

    • Delivery Rules
    New outbound rules capability helps administrators eliminate obscene language and stop confidential information from going out. Combination rules help prevent viruses from entering the network and they cut down on spam. And you can also reduce spam by disallowing the creation of subfolders that are often byproducts of spam Delete and prevent junk e-mail, route important messages based on headers and contents, and/or stop hostile e-mail viruses Too much mail all in your Inbox? Delivery rules let you sort mail into different mailboxes or just delete it, based on its headers or contents. Delivery rules include:

  • Scan the message Header (To, From, Sender, Subject) or the body text

  • "Contains" and "Does Not Contain" logic

  • Deliver mail to existing or new mailboxes, or delete it

  • Pattern matching with regular expressions for finding near matches or matching more than one string

  • Finding specific file types, such as the .vbs files associated with the "lovebug" viruses

  • Eliminate obscene language

  • Stop confidential information from going out and viruses from spreading

  • Provides the ability to limit e-mail usage.

    • WaveOne Email Server has the ability to apply delivery rules for a particular host or for individual users. For example, you could create a file of spam-filtering rules and apply it at the host level, and users could also create their own personal rules. Here are some examples:

  • If FROM doesn't contain "@ipswitch.com" move message to "LowPriority" mailbox

  • If SUBJECT contains "get rich quick" delete message

  • if BODY contains "(wsftp|ws_ftp)" move message to "WS_FTP" mailbox

    • Apply delivery rules at three levels: for the entire server, a particular host, or for individual users
