FTC Invites Mailshell
to Outline Reputation-Based System
Mailshell was invited by
the FTC to present a roadmap outlining Mailshell's
techniques for quantifying reputation as a
component of email authentication. Mailshell's
SpamRepute Index is an advanced statistical
analysis-based method of quantifying email
senders' reputations, to identify 'phishing'
and other fraud-based email. The FTC has posted
a copy of Mailshell's presentation here.
Mailshell Server Plugins

Mailshell introduced plugins
for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino to
allow the creation of per-user spam folders.
The plugins automatically move tagged messages
into the spam folder. The plugins can be downloaded
at no charge from Mailshell's web site and
work with most SMTP-based spam filters. More
