Safentrix provides a new way to combat spam

problem

This is a story that people with email addresses will be familiar with. Open your inbox in the morning and you'll find dozens [if not hundreds] of emails from people who don't know who you are. These emails were originally selling the latest V **** clone, or announcing that you are a lost heir to a $100 million lost minister [you only need to send a $5,000 courier fee!].

When you finish knitting these emails, you will notice an email from the customer stating that your meeting is scheduled to advance at 1pm to 10am. Look at your watch and find it is 10:30!

Spam [also known as spam] as described above can result in millions of dollars in lost productivity and sometimes severe financial losses through fraud. Spam has grown exponentially since email became the mainstream media in business. Some estimates indicate that 90% of email traffic is spam.

[not so perfect] solution

We must acknowledge one thing here. Identifying and eliminating spam is not easy. If there are 100,000 computer viruses in the world to track, it may have millions of spam to track, and even if you track all spam, you will receive some real emails that look like spam.

Someone in the pharmaceutical industry will be responsible for his email asking if the question about V **** a is blocked [because it has the word]. Therefore, identifying spam messages is not an easy task. From the beginning of the sunset, it is clear that it will become a catch-up job.

However, many companies offer Anti SPAM solutions. They use techniques with strange sound names such as RBL, URIBL, HELO Verification, Bayesian filtering, DKIM, SPF, content checking, and more. But their philosophy is the same.

  1. They will try to scan emails using all the terms mentioned above.
  2. If they are reasonably convincing [from a technical point of view, the likelihood of SPAM is 90% and above], they will place them in the quarantine.
Isolation is now like a separate folder in an email box. If you have used one of the free email services like Yahoo! or popular mail, quarantine will be equivalent to your "Batch Email" folder. Ideally, all spam should end up in the quarantine and all real emails in the INBOX. However, as mentioned earlier, SPAM identification is at best difficult [in the worst case, impossible].

This means that sometimes you may find a real email in the quarantine. [Technically, these are called "false positives"]. You can also find some spam in your inbox [technically called "spam miss"].

Your organization implements one of the above Anti SPAM solutions. You see better results. When you come in the morning, you can't find too many emails in your inbox. You can quickly browse the official email and get started. This is the solution you want. This is pure email happiness!

Ok, so you want to at least until your customer's first email goes into the quarantine. Since you have never checked the quarantine, you missed the progress of the meeting again and eventually missed the meeting! back to the start!

Every day, you start browsing your inbox and quarantine. Since you have two different folders, you can scan faster than before. You still need to scan a bunch of emails to make sure you don't miss important communications.

To make matters worse, you are told that the cost of an anti-spam solution is the same as hiring multiple secretaries [who can filter your email to remove spam].

All in all, current anti-spam solutions are not satisfactory in the best case scenario for the following reasons:

  1. Due to the existence of the quarantine area, the burden on the administrative staff has increased.
  2. cost.
SAFENTRIX solution

SAFENTRIX has taken a new approach to spam issues. Although the technology used by SAFENTRIX contains almost identical terms with strange vocal names [RBL, URIBL, HELO Verification, DKIM, SPF, etc.], SAFENTRIX differs in that:

  1. No quarantine
  2. There are free [free beer, not voice] service options
Does this mean that SAFENTRIX will never mistakenly classify emails as spam?

Not at all. As mentioned earlier, SPAM identification is difficult in the best case and impossible in the worst case. This means that in some cases SAFENTRIX does recognize real email as spam.

The difference is how SAFENTRIX handles such emails.

SAFENTRIX itself rejects any email classified as spam at the SMTP protocol level. This means that the sender will always receive a bounce message. Usually, the bounce message looks like this:

552 - Messages classified as spam.

552 - If you think it is misclassified, please visit

The 552-SAFENTRIX website resends the email.

552 your key is: caeb675710e2e7fac77c9834474f7040 [#5.6.1]
SAFENTRIX generates a unique key for each rejected email.

Now let's go back to the situation where you missed the email notification from the customer to change the meeting time. We will see what happens if you use SAFENTRIX.

Suppose the customer sent this email the day before. Within 10 minutes of sending the email [client], you will receive a bounce message as described above. The customer now notices that the email did not reach you [this avoids a lot of misunderstandings in itself], and the return email indicates spam.

The client enters the site given in the return message and enters all given details, including the SPAM key. This white lists the rejected communications. Now, the client resends the email and it's ok.

The next morning, the email is in your inbox and you can enter the meeting at the right time.

Let's be a bit pessimistic and say that the customer will go home immediately after sending an email and then can't see the returned email. The next day, when he was preparing for the meeting in the office,

  1. He noticed the rebound information,
  2. Realizing that you have not been told about the change in time,
  3. And notify you by other means [such as a phone call], if this gives you enough notice,
  4. If you are unable to notify, please postpone the meeting [no need to do anything].

Compare this to the situation you missed the meeting because it is in the quarantine area and the customer believes the email has been sent to you!

The SAFENTRIX method is very practical. Given the power of whitelisting and the fact that SAFENTRIX has a so-called "false positive" rate of less than 300,000 [that is, less than one false positive for every 300,000 emails sent], one can be sure that true email will last forever. There is a reach to the user.

We still need to mention one thing. The key mentioned in the bounce message is specific to each message. It is the encrypted MD5 hash of some parameters of the email. This means that SPAMmer will not be able to whitelist its emails. This approach provides a solid foundation for SPAMmer while allowing true senders to pass easily.

Did we mention that it is free?

The next important thing for SAFENTRIX is the availability of the standard version, which is completely free. Not a 30-day trial or incomplete feature. The Standard Edition is a full-featured package that you can use for free at any time. All emails received by Standard Edition users will include a one-line text ad [shown below] as a signature.

-----
Stop spam, stop viruses and save bandwidth
-----

This may be an advertisement from one of SAFENTRIX or one of its customers. The SAFENTRIX customer pays for these advertisements and this revenue is used for operations. This is the free way SAFENTRIX Standard Edition offers.

Therefore, if the organization needs it, it can get email security completely free of charge. SAFENTRIX gets money through a line of ads attached to each email.

This means you don't have to worry about stopping the free service at any time.

Although this is not a ground-based original idea, it is a good choice for customers.

Customers who don't want this ad can choose the Enterprise Edition. In addition, within the same organization, you can have both Standard and Enterprise users and match costs to your budget.

This means you can continue to deploy SAFENTRIX and still hire multiple secretaries!

in conclusion

By eliminating isolated technology innovations and business innovations that offer free service options, SAFENTRIX brings a new approach to anti-spam solutions.

In our opinion, it is worth checking SAFENTRIX for your organization. The assessment is free. You can try the Standard Edition and switch to the Enterprise Edition [or continue to use the Standard Edition] once the performance requirements are met.

Come on, try SAFENTRIX. After all, you have nothing to lose except spam!
