O2 Selects Eleven for Spam Filter and Email Categorization Service
Posted on: Thursday, 12 June 2008, 09:00 CDT
UK-based telecom operator O2 has announced that it is using eXpurgate, a spam filter and email categorization service from Germany-based email security provider Eleven, to protect its customers' inboxes against spam and phishing mails.
According to eleven, the eXpurgate anti-spam solution not only searches email content, but also checks them for the one criterion common to all spam mails. It reduces every email to a code, made up of just a few bytes (a kind of digital 'fingerprint'), that is then compared with the codes of other emails and its mass mail criterion allows the spam recognition rate to remain unaffected by any new tricks and techniques developed by spammers.
Klaus Schafer, head of mobile portals at Telefonica O2 Germany, said: "The extent of spam levels affecting our customers was significantly reduced, and without the occurrence of false positives. Another plus is that since installation, which only took a few hours, maintenance work has remained at an absolute minimum."
