A Unique Approach to Spam Filtering
Frontgate MX brings a New Level of Simplicity to Personal E-mail Protection With a Unique "Single Step" Approach to Spam Filtering.
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) July 6, 2004 -- Presorium Software announced the
release of Frontgate MX 1.0, a powerful new free personal e-mail filter designed
to bring simple and effective spam control to the broader internet community.
With its focus on being a solution to the spam problem - rather than a product
of it - Frontgate MX fills a hole in the e-mail filter market left by current
personal e-mail filter systems.
"Our primary goal in creating Frontgate
MX was simple," stated Rowan Wilson, of Presorium Software. "We wanted to create
the most accessible spam solution available. Spam is a burden on the user, and
relatively few anti-spam products are sufficiently focussed on relieving this
burden."
A key example of this philosophy is that Frontgate MX requires
only a single e-mail check to perform the complete filtering cycle. This
includes; filtering, previewing, accepting and rejecting incoming e-mail.
Conventional e-mail filters require the user to perform two e-mail checks to
accomplish all of these tasks. Additionally, spam viruses and oversize messages
can be deleted from the server without being downloaded. As such, Frontgate MX
represents a simpler, more efficient solution to the problem of email control.
With accessibility the major goal, ease of setup is also a major issue.
"Many other products require a complete manual setup," said Geoff Reynolds, one
of the Frontgate MX developers. "Others only support the major e-mail clients
from Microsoft and ignore the rest. That's not fair because many people prefer
other e-mail programs." As a result, Frontgate MX includes a "single click"
setup feature that supports a broad range of e-mail client software, including
Microsoft Outlook Express, Qualcomm Eudora and the Mozilla family.
In
any filter, accuracy is paramount. Presorium Software is a pioneer of the hybrid
filter system, in which a broad set of filtering technologies including
Bayesian, regular expressions, pattern matching and relay black lists are
brought together to form a filter system that is both balanced and efficient.
Further to this, the inclusion of a Mini Filter Matchlist Language (MFML)
ensures that the user can easily modify the spam detection criteria to meet
their own needs.
Frontgate MX is free software and runs on Microsoft
Windows. It is available from http://www.presorium.com
