SPAM CONTROL PROGRAM
Say goodbye to spam!

Over 71% of email being delivered to a typical US company is considered spam.
A study by a leading communications research firm Ferris Research, indicates that corporate organizations incur three major costs for spam totaling between $9 and $10 per user per month. Here are the three top causes of business loss from email born spam.

Loss of Productivity - The costs associated with users wading through spam messages.

IT Resource Consumption - The costs incurred by an IT department as spam consumes bandwidth, storage space, and e-mail administrators' time.

Help Desk Burden - The costs incurred by a help desk staff when users log incidents

Spam costs U.S. companies $874 per employee per year in lost productivity. (Darwin Magazine, July 8, 2003)

COMMON BUT INEFFECTIVE SPAM SOLUTIONS
The most commonly deployed Spam technology Fails to produce highly effective results.

Statistical Algorithms
Artificial Intelligence
Point Values 
Blacklisting
Numerous other Mathematical Equations

Countless studies have shown major flaws with this methodology:
Daily burden placed on IT resources
False Positive returns
Lackluster overall filtering results

February 25, 2003,  PC Magazine tests 11 Spam Filters; the best missed 7% of inbound mail with 8.4% False Positives. The average missed 30% of inbound mail with 7% FPs.

OUR SPAM CONTROL SOLUTION
Over 1000 “honeypots” were systematically networked across the front lines of the Internet where a vast majority of spam first originates.
Large scale attraction methods were deployed to populate these traps.  Examples include: 
- 250 Porn Sites subscribed
- 100 Online Casinos subscribed
- 100 News Groups subscribed
- 100 fake websites created with technical contact information posted
By September of 2002, each “honeypot” was receiving in excess of 500 spam messages per day consisting of 100% Spam junk mail.
A special reporting engine built into each “honeypot” was programmed to create a signature file on every spam message received and to report back these DNA profiles to a central database.
Spam notifications from our expanding user community are also entered.
Every email message coming through our system is compared against this signature file database.
When an exact signature file match occurs, the email is contained.

OUR SPAM CONTROL RESULTS  
*On average, Spam Control blocks 71% of mail coming into an organization.  The industry average for competing solutions is roughly half this amount.

*A near 0% false positive rate is experienced by our customers.

These overall results place Spam Control among the Top performing Tier 1 Enterprise level solutions in the World.  While many of our competitors claim to have the best overall results; we can prove it.
