Spam Smacker:

Flexible, rules based technology - Pro Exchange's SPAM Smacker leverages several different technologies to evaluate, identify, filter and monitor incoming junk mail, systematically checking the message with 5 preset levels of tests to determine probability that a particular message is spam.

Pro Exchange SPAM Smacker was tested to provide 92-97% spam capture rates with extremely low false positives.  The ability to white list domains and to use the AD to identify mailbox exceptions helps stop false positives common with other solutions.

Filtering, Updating and Monitoring Capabilities
Pro Exchange SPAM Smacker comes with filters collected from months of research and development. You can continue to add filters via a simple Web-based management console. In addition, Pro Exchange publishes filter updates to help you increase the chances of catching SPAM before it gets to the Exchange environment. We work to identify domains, key words and phrases, known SPAM servers and senders in response to new spamming techniques. These updated filters and updates are updated regularly and available from the Pro Exchange support site.

Compatibility with Antivirus and other Security Products
Pro Exchange SPAM Smacker works in conjunction with other vendor's antivirus and security products. SPAM Smacker has the ability to recognize forwarding servers in your DMZ and from other domains and to look deeper in the SMTP history to identify known SPAM servers and relays. It easily snaps onto your existing Exchange 2000 servers and blocks messages from reaching your Exchange stores. In respect to Anti-Virus compatibility, SPAM Smacker has been designed and tested to be compatible with with the most popular SMTP and Exchange scanning engines. 

High Performance and Scalability
The Pro Exchange SPAM Smacker services have been designed to process and analyze messages as quickly as possible. Specific scanning levels have been preset that allow the administrator to balance performance and thoroughness. Moreover, specific Anti-SPAM features such as Reverse-DNS Lookup, multiple blacklist searches and other tests can be individually enabled or disabled on-the-fly without a service restart or interruption. Sophisticated reporting allows you to see at a glance which SPAM Smacker process is more effective in your environment allowing you to make additional configuration decisions and adjustments


Ease of Administration and Configuration
Pro Exchange SPAM Smacker requires minimal configuration with no reboots, restarts or interruption. Default "aggression-levels" allows you to choose your defenses. The reporting pages can even tell you how many messages could have been blocked should you choose the next higher level. Those who want to manually modify the processes can make configuration changes on-the-fly by using the Web-Admin pages. No configuration change or update requires a restart or reset. It could not be any easier than this!
