TrustedSource Message Reputation is included with Version 6.1.1 of the IronMail appliance, which is priced starting at $9,995.
Cloudmark on Monday also announced new spam-catching techniques collectively called Content Disposition that are designed
to distinguish among the different types of malicious e-mail – including spam, viruses and phishing attacks – so that appropriate
actions can be taken for each type of abuse.
Content Disposition has been integrated into Cloudmark’s Authority gateway software and is designed for ISPs that need to
manage a wide range of content policies and end-user preferences, according to company officials. By being able to distinguish
among these different threats, ISPs can develop automated responses to them, such as automatically deleting e-mail that includes
known viruses, they say, and more dangerous mail, such as phishing attacks, can be blocked more aggressively than merely annoying
spam.
The new feature also lets ISPs more easily deal with grey mail, or messages that are spam to some and legitimate to others,
such as newsletters, by ensuring those customers who want to receive them do while blocking such mail from those who don’t,
officials say.
