Introducing the RX Scanner anti-phishing filter

Public Domain

The RX Scanner is a complex sender+content content validation engine targeting phishing and other spam. This new analysis engine takes content filtering to the next level. It looks for pre-defined signatures in both the message and headers using a powerful matching engine. Using defined templates RX Scanner is able to identify what type of message is being being presented to the recipient. When a phishing target is identified, RX Scanner performs validation and verification of the message against well-known and published validation information available from the actual phishing target. RX Scanner is an effective defense against well-known phishing attacks. Unlike spam campaigns where the content of e-mail can be varied infinitely to defeat anti-spam solutions, phishing attacks depend on a limited number of well defined target sites (e.g. Facebook). For a phishing campaign to be effective the phishing messages must resemble something the target site might send. Once a targeted phishing site is identified RX Scanner then performs a number of verification functions to confirm whether or not the message is legitimate. As a bonus, this technique can also be use to block those well known spam campaigns that never seem to go away. RX Scanner is our next step forward as we strive for the eradication of phishing, spam and other e-mail borne threats. PerfectMail is an actively developed anti-spam solution, with regular releases to rules, signatures, block-lists and code updates. Our product is a closed-source project, not relying on spam assassin or any other other open source anti-spam solution. We offer high quality anti-spam products and filtering services for reasonable prices. For more information please contact our sales team.
