We are very pleased to announce our all new spam filtering engine, powered by Message Sniffer and Declude! Just over a month ago, we dumped our old Cyren anti-spam system for a new, customizable, and very powerful anti-spam solution.

Declude is a filtering engine that has been around for a very long time, nearly 20 years. Declude has proven to be very effective against combating spam using very powerful and customizable rules, RBL checks, DNSBL checks, and more. Message Sniffer is another great filtering technology that works by combining forces with other sniffer "nodes" running on mail servers all over the world. By using the data from other mail servers, our local Message Sniffer can quickly update to ward off threats and spam that our mail server has not yet seen or dealt with. Combining these two technologies has almost defeated spam for our test group of customers, with most receiving only a couple of spam emails per week instead of hundreds.

We are still working to improve these systems to get the number down even further. Message Sniffer will continue to learn and improve its database on its own over time!

We have also improved our reporting of false negative/positive emails. Customers reporting misidentified email will further improve the filtering engines and help us build up better rules to fight messages that are harder to identify.
