SPF Is Not a Silver Bullet for the Prevention of Spam
SpamTitan BOSTON, MA and GALWAY, IRELAND–(Marketwire – June 8, 2009) – SpamTitan, a leading producer of email security solutions, today announced the results of its industry survey of some 500 users of email security solutions exposing several misconceptions around Sender Policy Framework (SPF).
To dispel any misleading references of SPF’s use, it is important to define SPF and its key purpose — an anti-forgery approach in which the Internet domain of an e-mail sender can be authenticated for that sender, thereby discouraging spam mailers who routinely disguise the origin of their e-mail, a practice known as e-mail spoofing.
SpamTitan’s recent survey uncovered that some 43% of small and medium size businesses (SMBs) were under the misconception that SPF is a method that can be used to stop spam from being sent using unauthorized domain names. Approximately 52% of organizations surveyed were not aware that SPF can only stop spammers from forging the “From” field in the e-mail and that SPF does not stop spammers from sending e-mails from a domain of which it is a member.

Boston, MA and Galway, Ireland, March 2, 2009– SpamTitan, a leading producer of email security solutions, today announced the availability of SpamTitan CMC, a cluster management configuration (CMC) for best in class email security solutions targeted at helping small and medium sized enterprises.
SpamTitan CMC, configured to allow the clustering of multiple nodes for both redundancy and to increase total system capacity, provides enhanced monitoring and autonomic failover capabilities. It ensures data is always available, even in the event that a node is turned off or unavailable for any reason. The cluster can be managed through a single interface by the administrator proving centralized reporting and end user digests for all email activity.
For centralized management, SpamTitan CMC allows the customer to have complete control over their configuration and policy across the cluster and the ability to share the “load” across all cluster nodes so that administrators can change policy or access any message received across the cluster from any individual node. The cluster can be managed through a single interface by the administrator, allowing the administrator to attain centralized reporting and end user digests. For remote locations, SpamTitan CMC can span geographies to facilitate redundancy across sites.
SpamTitan CMC ensures the optimum use of resources and avoids queues building up on any one appliance through loadbalancing using MX records or any 3rd party IP load balancer,. Customers no longer have to worry about extending their resources such as sending too much mail to one appliance.
“We are excited to announce the SpamTitan CMC and finally provide the SBM market high performance email security solutions with advanced clustering capabilities at an affordable price, stated Ronan Kavanagh, SpamTitan President and CEO. “Our SpamTitan CMC offers enterprise class functionality including instant scalability, failover and load balancing, all of which can be achieved very simply via a single screen web interface.”
The SpamTitan CMC is priced right for small and medium sized enterprises. The price for a 50 user license and the SpamTitan CMC for 2 nodes is priced at $775. Existing customers with a 100 user license (priced at $550) pay only $275 for a 100 user SpamTitan CMC.
