Anti-Spam

Of the e-mails received everyday 90% is spam. Defzone helps you to reduce the load of spam on your people and network. We do not charge you for how many users or e-mail addresses you have but just for the unit or service.

 

Explanation of Anti Spam

 

Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. From the beginning of the internet, sending of junk e-mail has been prohibited. Even with a thousand users, using junk e-mail for advertising is not tenable, and with a million users it is not only not practical, but very expensive as well.

 

Detecting spam based on the content of the e-mail, either by detecting keywords such as "viagra" or by statistical means, is very popular. Such methods can be very accurate when they are correctly tuned to the types of legitimate email that an individual gets, but they can also make mistakes such as detecting the keyword "cialis" in the word "specialist". The content also doesn't determine whether the email was either unsolicited or bulk, the two key features of spam. So, if a friend sends you a joke that mentions "viagra", content filters can easily mark it as being spam even though it is both solicited and not bulk.
