Mighty Mailbox: An Overview

Testing, Testing and More Testing.

Upon receipt of email to the system, a series of tests are performed:

Real-Time Block List Testing

Specific domains and IP addresses are blocked using block lists compiled from our own database, as well as from reliable sources throughout the Internet. Some of these sources include:

  • DCC (Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse) System of clients and servers that collect and count checksums of email messages in order to detect spam
  • Pyzor, a collaborative, networked system to detect and block spam using identifying digests of messages
  • Razor2, a distributed, collaborative, spam detection and filtering network

Integrity Analysis

Using a number of methods, authenticity of each distinct message can be determined and acted upon according to rule sets. At times, this may simply be blocking domains without DNS entries, while other instances might be more complex, relying on the review of message header information.

Heuristic Detection

An analysis is performed based on a series of internal tests which help determine the likelihood of a message being spam. A numerical weight is then calculated and can be acted upon based on rules that are set by an individual recipient, or for your entire organization.

Content Filtering

Messages can be blocked based on specific keywords in the sender, subject, body and attachments contained in each individual message. Attached files can be blocked based on their type. For instance, many viruses are delivered as .com files are .vbs files. These file types can be blocked at our system level, before they ever reach your mail server.

Black and Whitelists

Domains, ip addresses and specific email addresses may be added to a blacklist (denied mail) or a whitelist (allowed mail). This can be controlled by a domain administrator or on an individual basis.

Bayesian Filtering & System Self-Tuning

Bayesian filtering enables the system to "intelligently" learn to separate spam from the truly important email that allows your business to communicate. Additionally, Mighty Mailbox system components learn the characteristics of the email you receive. It adjusts the overall numeric spam rating for new messages, when sent by a known good sender.

Redundant Antivirus Tests

Redundant antivirus tests are performed on each message, first using the ClamAV antivirus engine, then the BitDefender antivirus engine.

Authentication

Authentication to the web interface provides for two levels of user access:

  • Domain administrators are allowed to set and change any configuration data for the specific domains
  • Users are able only to set their own spam preferences, white and black lists
