WHITE PAPER
Demystifying the Anti-Spam Buzz:
Features vs. Fluff in the Search for an Enterprise The options available to mitigate the problems of e-mail spam in the enterprise are varied. Just as varied is the variety of definitions of spam today. These factors often lead to some confusion about what a particular anti-spam (or anti-fraud or anti-virus) solution may or may This paper demystifies the anti-spam market and its various choices and buzzwords to help you cut through the hype and focus on the basics: determining what features you need, whether a solution you are considering includes them, and to what degree. It also defines the important key elements that an anti-spam solution should have to ensure that your investment will be a White Paper: Demystifying the Anti-Spam Buzz

But these distinctions are misleading. The truth is, the techniques spammers use are common across all varieties of spam. For example, spammers of all types frequently use virus and worm-infected machines to send spam. Likewise, spammers seeking to steal money or identities (phishers) use the same techniques as spammers seeking to sell the latest Spam-Fighter's Cocktail
Three primary types of spam fighting solutions are available today: • Client-side solutions reside on individual users' machines. Distributed
support requirements and license fees make them unsustainable in large environments, they lock an enterprise into a particular client operating system, and mobile and webmail users may not be able to access them.
Outsourced (third-party) solutions require an enterprise's e-mail to be
routed through third-party servers for filtering. Their primary drawback is the loss of control over an enterprise's e-mail and its filtering techniques.
Server-based solutions come in the form of software and/or server

solutions.
Scalable, Server-Side Architecture
Server-based anti-spam solutions are preferable for enterprise environments because they can fully protect your network and users from spam and viruses with minimum administrative burden. But, with spam and virus attacks increasing mail volumes exponentially, server-based solutions must be scalable. Look for solutions with streamlined architectures, technology For example, ensure that you can configure the solution to filter out viruses before spending resources filtering for spam. Also ensure that the solution Scalable cost:

not per-server. Per-server pricing puts you at a disadvantage because as mail volumes grow, you have to spend more to keep the solution effective by 2007 Roaring Penguin Software Inc.

human judgement.
Look for a solution with this flexibility, but be sure that your solution of choice enables you to customize spam thresholds and spam management techniques. For example, you may want to automatically quarantine or delete certain types of e-mails while only tagging messages that receive mid-range spam scores. Your solution should, at a minimum, have that level Centralized Solution with End-User Controls

By pushing global rules out to end users and enabling them to participate in choosing the filtering solution that best suits them, the administrative burden and complexity of defining spam in a multi-user environment is If you want a solution with some level of end-user control, look for one that allows you to customize the end-user interface, including its look-and-feel and the controls you provide to end-users. Only you know what your particular users and environment need and can handle. A customizable interface will help minimize disruption to end-users and will eliminate 2007 Roaring Penguin Software Inc.

policies.
The ability for users to set spam thresholds and obtain details about individual spam incidents may be important for certain users in your environment. If so, be sure that the solution you choose gives you the power to provide such options. Keep in mind that even if you don't start with a solution that allows for end-user controls, you may need the option in the future. For example, central administration of an organization's spam may become too great for a single IT manager or department to handle. Your organization's policies about e-mail may change, or end-users may become vocal about having greater control over their e-mail.

Fighting spam is an arms race.
