What Makes Mailshell Technology Unique? What Makes Mailshell Technology Unique?

Mailshell is the leading OEM provider of traffic reputation, anti-spam and anti-phishing security software. Through its proprietary SDKs, including LiveFeed reputation technology, Mailshell's engines identify more than 98 percent of email spam with near zero false positives, while providing consistent accuracy, superior flexibility and ease of use.

Traffic Reputation: LiveFeed Is More Than Just IP Blacklists

Mailshell LiveFeed: Live Real-Time Reputation Data
A great solution requires great data collection: OEM Partners, Live Mail Traffic Statistics, Data Sharing Partnerships and our global Collaborative Network of users provide data on new outbreaks to Mailshell's labs.

Mailshell's LiveFeed reputation technology is more accurate, complete and up-to-date than other IP "reputation" techniques which are simply glorified IP blacklists. LiveFeed has the most granular analysis, with more than 200 scores, and is the most thorough as it focuses on all hard-to-fake attributes, including domains, URLs as well as IP addresses.

LiveFeed queries are lighter and faster than other services. In addition to http queries, LiveFeed uses DNS via UDP for faster response and near real-time results. Mailshell's OEM partners query LiveFeed either as an independent stand-alone data service or as a function within Mailshell's complete SDK. LiveFeed is also the only solution that allows end customers to customize reputation weighting.

Consistent Accuracy Without Peaks And Valleys

Mailshell's mathematics-based statistical approach consistently provides the highest spam detection with the fewest false positives. Mailshell's technique allows it to respond faster and accurately to new outbreaks like PDF spam, MP3 spam and image spam without the "learning curve" other methods require.

Flexibility: One Size Does Not Fit All

Mailshell's superior flexibility allows customers to add or remove features to create the ideal solution to their unique needs. With more than 40 configuration options, including options to block by country, character set and language, Mailshell provides the greatest flexibility to system administrators and/or end-users.

Additionally, Mailshell is the only solution that lets customers "tune for speed" by allowing them to set target throughput to maintain mail flow during massive attacks.

Ease Of Use: Built To Last

Mailshell's configurable architecture offers greater reliability and more choice to a broader range of customers. Mailshell's engine deployment choices include: local rule files, DNS via UDP queries, and/or a low memory (32k) version.

Mailshell's mature technology has been in development for more than eight years, has been independently tested and verified QA, and has amassed millions of end users.
