Mailshell Livefeed Repuation
Service Increases Speed, Bot Detection and Trust Detection
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - February 7, 2008 - Mailshell
Inc., the leading provider of email reputation, anti-spam
and anti-phishing AI engines for OEMs today introduced expansions
to LiveFeed, its highly scalable and reliable real-time
reputation data service that identifies email fraud, phishing
and spam. LiveFeed is compatible with all mail servers including
Exchange, Sendmail, Postfix, Groupwise, and Domino, and
almost all mail filtering software including SpamAssassin.
LiveFeed is bundled within "Powered by Mailshell" filters
from service providers, networking providers, enterprise
software solutions, messaging platforms, SAAS platforms,
desktop security suites, web browsers, hardware appliances,
firewalls and small USB device manufacturers.
The new enhanced LiveFeed provide greater
detection from spam bots, computers that are surreptitiously
hijacked by spammers to send spam without the owner's knowledge.
Mailshell LiveFeed identifies servers which should not be
connecting to public mail servers according to the IP owner's
terms of use. Mailshell tracks and updates reputations in
real-time via data collected from its own spam traps, OEM
partners who upload anonymous data statistics from their
applications, a collaborative network of end users, and
a network of data sharing partnerships.
"Traditional security vendors use LiveFeed
to increase overall throughput and decrease their infrastructure
costs," said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell. "Social networking
and advertising-based messaging and search platforms will
also accelerate their use of reputation technologies in
2008 to reduce the flood of spam compromising their networks."
Mailshell offers the first solution specifically
designed to quantify reputation via advanced statistical
models. Unlike other reputation services that provide only
a binary 'good' or 'bad' rating, LiveFeed provides granular
trust ratings with automated adjustment over time as reputations
change. By focusing reputation on statistical models, LiveFeed
provides language-agnostic detection.
Recent third-party tests indicate LiveFeed
catches up to 15 percent of the spam otherwise missed by
traditional IP blacklists, while increasing overall throughput
and decreasing load. LiveFeed can process hundreds of millions
of messages a day, and is offered with a service level agreement
that includes 99.999 percent uptime.
