San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2004 -- Mailshell, the OEM anti-spam
leader, today introduced a Linux-based low-memory version of its
enterprise-grade spam-filtering engine, which can be embedded almost anywhere.
More than 4,000 companies and 10 million consumers already rely on ‘Powered by
Mailshell’ products to block spam.
Mailshell’s new SDK Lite requires
less than 200KB of code on the device, and can be embedded into any product
including mobile devices, wireless access points, desktop routers, firewalls,
modems, and other low memory devices. Companies have been eager to embed
anti-spam into their existing low-memory products either to generate new
incremental subscription-based revenue or simply to remain competitive.
“The SDK Lite serves OEMs who had wanted the accuracy of the Mailshell
SDK but could not afford the memory requirements,” said Tonny Yu, president and
CEO of Mailshell. “Initial trials among OEM prospects already indicate that it’s
a unique and compelling solution.”
The SDK Lite translates incoming
messages into a complex set of spam tags, which accurately identifies the spam
attributes of the message. This engine transmits the spam tags to one of
Mailshell’s worldwide data centers where it is compared against millions of spam
tags in Mailshell’s databases. The SDK Lite then returns a ‘spam score’, the
probability between 0% and 100% that the message is spam. Customers set a ‘spam
score’ threshold, above which messages will be considered spam.
“Despite
the popularity of spam filtering ASPs, many CIOs still don’t want their
mission-critical email routed to a third party,” said Tonny Yu. “The SDK Lite
allows email to remain within the company’s network but have the spam accurately
filtered out with minimal setup and maintenance.”
The SDK Lite boasts the
same award-winning accuracy as the flagship Mailshell SDK. The primary
differences between the two are memory size and speed. The flagship SDK is more
than five times faster than the SDK Lite, though requires a much larger memory
footprint. The SDK Lite is currently available on Linux with other platforms
available soon. Mailshell’s flagship SDK is available in a range of operating
systems including Linux, Windows, Solaris (Sparc and Intel), FreeBSD, HP-UX, AIX
and Mac OS X.
Mailshell is the OEM anti-spam leader. More than 4,000
companies and 10 million consumers rely on ‘Powered by Mailshell’ products to
block spam. By using Mailshell's software development kit, Mailshell's partners
increase their average revenue per customer, create new sources of recurring
revenue, and decrease sales and support costs. The Mailshell Engine is the only
anti-spam solution developed explicitly to integrate spam-blocking technology
with common IT components, including security appliances, mail servers,
anti-virus applications and many others. For more information: http://www.mailshell.com
