Is Your Inbox Out of Control?

Email has revolutionized the way we do business.

However, the Internet being the public space that it is has lead to many users 'abusing' the system.

Malicious programmers have been creating viruses, exploiting the flaws in popular operating systems email client software, endangering system security and causing great brand damage by replicating from the receivers address.

Unprofessional marketers and scam operators are using bulk email (or 'spam', after the Monty Python sketch) to reach as many people as possible with their varying targets, with everything from prescription drugs to get rich quick schemes.

Often these spam emails contain adult material (especially pornography), which are unsuitable in the workplace. At worst the content can be illegal and at best offensive.

With “Total Business Email Protection” from Frontline, we reduce the risk of harmful effects from using the Internet, and make email a reliable tool for business.

“Total Business Email Protection” sits at the Internet level, and identifies malicious, unwanted, and offensive emails and stops them from entering your inbox and freeing up bandwidth for real business communications.

How Total Business Email Protection Works?

Once your email account has been set up for use with Total Business Email Protection, all your inbound and outbound emails will be scanned for viruses.

If any viruses are found, the system captures them and immediately holds them in quarantine, preventing infected email from reaching you. Total Business Email Protection offers complete virus protection, but as it is used for blocking viruses that are email born it is best used in conjunction with an anti virus software programs, such as Sophos, Mcafee or Norton anti-virus.

Spam including pornographic emails, will be detected. The spam blocker system stops spam by scoring different elements of the email such as content, subject title, font size etc with the likely hood of it being spam, the more elements that are picked up the higher the spam rating.

A team comprising of the world's foremost anti-spam researchers constantly updates the system. The team develops "next generation" methods for analyzing email content to distinguish more accurately between desirable and undesirable email.
As spamming techniques are discovered, the task force creates new identification heuristics, and these are included in the regular, anti-spam updates offering the best spam protection.

Advanced heuristic analysis is used to look at the header and body of the email to determine regular expressions and content associated with spam. The system also checks against lists of known spam destination URL's and other known calls to action within a message.
