Introduction to Innovative Mail Filtering With AXIGEN

Overview

Email is not what it was supposed to be. Its inventors have not foreseen the dangers associated with this new form of communication. Means of protection were added later on, but do little to protect people's mailboxes. As a result, most of the mail traffic these days is unwanted: spam, malware, phishing. Important resources are allotted by companies to deal with this situation and the results are usually inadequate. Anti-spam filters are not only incapable to detect all the spam, but they also happen to flag legitimate mails as spam. Antivirus products are basically a game of playing catch-up, with vendors adding more and more signatures to their products in response to new threats in the wild.
