It is an advanced anti-spam
solution which eliminates the problem
from the root. It combines a modern
software program with human intervention.
A simple but efficient model, given
it attacks Spam's commercial viability.
Spam's business depends on being able
to send industrial amounts of messages
automatically without personnel expenses.
By demanding a human interaction, Cleanbox
cancels the business model.
Cleanbox's technology is based on the
so called 'White Lists' and 'Black Lists',
by which the user only receives mails
from the senders that have already been
registered as such. The register may
be done by the sender or by the user
himself. At the same time the user can
cause to block specific senders. The
result is an efficiency never before
reached in the fight against spam.
The Problem
Spam (or Junk Mail)
has become a real epidemic within the
Internet level. Spam is a resource theft.
Sending e-mails costs next to nothing
to the person sending it while the recipient
assumes all the costs. When a user receives
a dozen spam messages in a week, the
cost is not too obvious; however, when
you multiply that traffic by hundreds
of thousands in a corporate environment,
it becomes a real and costly problem.
Spam slows traffic in the net and also
the connection for each user; but the
greatest problem is the time the user
spends in trying to eliminate those
pesky messages.
The Solution
There are several Anti-Spam
systems around the world, but very few
which are truly effective. To avoid
unnecessary loss of time, final users
need a solution that will attack the
problem in the mail servers and not
in their own computers. But at the same
time, this solution must be effective,
eliminating the most junk mail possible.
