  4. 98% spam detection with Bayesian filtering • GFI MailEssentials’ Bayesian filtering technology uses advanced mathematical analysis to capture spam. It looks at the whole message, not just keywords and also considers the content of valid emails that you send (known as ‘ham’). • Bayesian filtering is widely acclaimed to be the best way to tackle spam because it: • Looks at the whole message • Adapts itself over time • Sensitive/adaptive to the company/user • Multilingual and international • Hard to trick.

  5. The Bayesian spam profile can be updated automatically Downloads updates to spam profile database • GFI MailEssentials can download updates to the Bayesian spam profile database from the GFI site, ensuring that it recognizes the latest spam and spamming techniques. • GFI maintains the spam profile database by working with a number of spam collection organizations that continually supply spam samples.

  6. You only need to configure anti-spam rules at server level Takes server-based approach to spam • To block spam effectively, you need a server-based anti-spam product as this: • Eliminates the deployment and administration hassle involved with desktop based products • Is cheaper to license • Prevents spam from even entering your email infrastructure.

  7. GFI MailEssentials can also detect mails written in a foreign language GFI MailEssentials performs header checking • GFI MailEssentials analyzes the email header for spam practices. For example, the SMTP and MIME From: and To: fields in an email header often reveal spam mail. GFI MailEssentials also detects if the sender of the email has a valid domain.

  8. List approved email senders and blacklist unwanted email senders GFI MailEssentials supports blacklists & whitelists • Blacklists – GFI MailEssentials checks if the mail sender is on a third party DNS blacklist (ORDB, SpamHaus, etc). You can also set up your own blacklist of domains and email addresses. • Whitelists – Whitelists drastically reduce false positives (a problem inherent in anti-spam software). GFI MailEssentials automatically creates a whitelist for you on the basis of the emails your company has sent.

  9. Users can review spam mail in a folder in their inbox Sort spam to users’ junk mail folder • Users can review mail flagged as spam easily from their ‘junk mail’ folder. • You can also choose to delete spam, move it to a folder, or forward the spam mail to a public email address or folder.
