In November
2006, independent security testing organisation West
Coast Labs carried out a week-long evaluation of MessageStream’s
email clean capabilities.
Their
extensive report concludes that MessageStream successfully
captured 97%
of spam, with no reported false positives – their
highest accolade.
Some
comments from the West Coast Labs report:
MessageStream
performed well during the installation, setup, training
and spam detection testing processes, delivering 100%
of the genuine mail correctly and correctly classifying
97% of the Spam mail.
“It is
also worth noting that MessageStream delivers a good
proportion of grey and list mail as genuine. This gives
an organisation the flexibility and opportunity to define
policies during a training period without missing mail
that could potentially be business critical.”
“MessageStream
provides an organisation with the ability to limit the
impact on both cost and time that is inflicted by unwanted
email. The rapid setup process and score threshold configuration
is well implemented and should aid any System Administrator
in the fight against Spam.
“…delivering
100% of the genuine mail correctly and correctly classifying
97% of the Spam mail…”
“MessageStream
provides the ability to securely encrypt and archive
genuine mail in an off-site storage utility, adding an
extra level of confidence to any company's possible disaster
recovery procedure.
“With each
individual user able to login and view the traffic statistics
for their own account, the user is constantly aware of
the success or failure of any messages directed to them
or sent by them. It is this level of control available
from MessageStream that will allow companies to aid their
users in the fight against unwanted mail.
“MessageStream
is worthy of consideration by any company looking to
protect their users from the impact of spam whilst outsourcing
the responsibility for protection and archiving to a
third party.”
MessageStream
is a live, online email security system, vitally important
to your business if you have a stand-alone mailserver
on your company network.
