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.

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.”

Boston, MA and Galway, Ireland – November 12, 2008 – SpamTitan, an e-mail security software provider, announces today that it has released its version 4.14 with an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows greater support through remote management. SpamTitan’s software, which is available in both a VMware-certified virtual version as well as an ISO version, is now offering additional support to its ISP (Internet Service Provider) customer base.
ISPs who use the SpamTitan solution will be able to easily manage a large number of domains by configuring their programming interface via SpamTitan’s API without needing to go through a UI (user interface). ISPs will have the opportunity to hook the addition of domains directly into the SpamTitan API in order to automate the signing up of new clients to their mail filtering service. This continues SpamTitan’s roll out of features for the ISPs from the ability to manage individual customers domains and whitelists to viewing quarantine reports in 11 different languages.
Business continuity provider Low Cost Host Ltd., based in the UK, has been very successful with SpamTitan’s security solutions. CTO Phillip Baker states: "Automation & integration is the key to both customer satisfaction and low overheads for pretty much any ISP-oriented business in the marketplace today. The addition of API functionality that allows both ourselves and our licencing customers to work on complete integration of SpamTitan into existing automated business processes is a welcome enhancement and shows a commitment by SpamTitan not only to evolving the product but to making our customers’ businesses a success."
SpamTitan’s CEO Ronan Kavanagh explains, “we have had such tremendous response from ISPs with the functionality of this software, especially at its very accessible price point. We are very pleased to now offer greater automated support, which develops into lower product management overhead and thus lower total cost of ownership for our partners. “
As the first virtual appliance focused on the ISP market, SpamTitan is seeing incredible reaction from their savvy client base. The virtues of this technology make significant improvements to the way business is managed and automated. This next level of service through an automated API will once again allow a fresh, progressive manner of doing business.
Low-cost, easy-to-deploy software defeats spam at Penn State University.
Universities and colleges often face a more challenging IT and network security challenge than typical corporate networks. With the rise of peer-to-peer (P2P), file sharing and MP3 trading, campuses have become a haven for viruses and spyware. By nature, these networks are fairly open and unsegmented. Penn State University is no exception.

SpamTian has featured in the latest edition of Campus Technology in an article by Rama Ramaswami entitled "Protecting the Oblivious". This very interesting article looks at the steps taken by a number of education establishements in protecting their digital assets. A selection of the article can be read below, the full atricle can be read in the April 2008 edition of Campus technology or at the following link: http://www.campustechnology.com/articles/60297_1/
"Two universities that have had considerable success with e-mail appliances are Penn State and Georgia Southern University. At Penn State, the Intercollegiate Athletics department, which has more than 300 e-mail users, used an innovative technique to filter spam: It isolated itself from the university’s centralized IT system and installed its own open source appliance. That’s because Phil Mansfield, systems administrator for the department, discovered that the university’s in-house anti-spam software, installed directly on the Microsoft Outlook e-mail server, shut down antivirus functions completely when there were problems with the server. This affected e-mail performance for the entire athletics group.
"I believe that threats come from a wide variety of sources, but e-mail is the main vector," says Mansfield. "It’s the easiest to attack and is always allowed through the firewall. To supplement the existing antivirus software already installed, we searched out a front-end gateway SMTP solution. We were looking for a solution that would provide greater spam filtration as well as free up the workload of the back-end provider."
Mansfield opted for SpamTitan, an open source, easy-to-use system that offers what he calls "enterprise-class features at a very affordable price." The minimal investment required gained him a quick signoff on the purchase from university officials. With installation time taking less than one hour for 500 licenses, and a 90 percent increase in spam filtration in the few months that the system has been in use, SpamTitan provided "results from day one," says Mansfield."
SpamTitan has continued with our strong Technology Alliance Partnership with VMware by being featured in Vmware’s Customer ISV Success Story. The success story outlines SpamTitan’s continued progress due to the developement of the SpamTitan for VMware vitrual appliance and features some of the many milestones we have passed since it’s launch.
