Outbound Email Filtering
With the growth of spam prevention solutions, many organizations are increasingly grappling with their ability to successfully deliver outbound email.
In addition to the problem of legitimate mail occasionally being incorrectly identified as junk mail, many small businesses have had the experience of being “blacklisted” by one or more anti-spam databases. This may be a function of their Internet service provider, or it may be due to a spammer’s use of that organization's domain or mail server.
Indeed, most junk email and viruses are propagated not by spammers directly but via a large number of ‘zombie’ workstations at homes or in offices. The owners of those workstations are typically unaware that their systems have been compromised and have been used for sending out junk mail. Many organizations do not immediately become aware that their systems have been compromised and used for nefarious purposes, and by the time the problem is discovered the damage has already been done.
Acting as a gateway, Katharion scans all outbound messages using a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to detect inappropriate emails -- allowing organizations to dramatically reduce the risks that their networks are being used to propagate spam, viruses, or phishing attacks.
Katharion detects and blocks a broad range of junk email and viruses, leveraging multiple anti-virus systems that are updated every five minutes.
Katharion’s outbound email filtering can also quickly alert organizations as to the presence of any infected workstations or 'zombie' machines, so that those systems can be handled appropriately.
In addition, Katharion can provide businesses with tools to help control the email messages being sent. Administrators can specify rules by which messages are allowed or disallowed, and any questionable emails can be quarantined for subsequent review and release as appropriate.
Administrators can also take advantage of Katharion's integrated reporting capabilities to view information on messages that have been sent - typically information that is not easily gleaned or accessible within a small business.
