Blue Squirrel Introduces New & Improved Version Of Anti-Spam TechnologyApril 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Squirrel today announced the availability of Spam Sleuth 2.0, a turbo-charged edition of their software, Spam Sleuth, that stops annoying unsolicited spam messages from reaching e-mail inboxes. The new edition includes Bayesian analysis to aid in the battle against spammers, auto-configuration of e-mail accounts, and makes the spammers pay consumers for their wasted time and lost money. Visit Blue Squirrel's web site: www.bluesquirrel.com . How does Blue Squirrel defeat Spam? Blue Squirrel uses a Point System. Spam Sleuth has analyzers, such as, Friends, Spammers, To, Goodwords, Badwords, Profanity, Subject, and Attachments. Much like a contest, each Analyzer is a judge, the messages are the contestants, and Spam Sleuth is the scorekeeper. Every Analyzer looks at the e-mail message differently and assigns points based on specific criteria. Then Spam Sleuth adds all of the points together and creates an overall total. The more points an e-mail message receives the more likely it is to be deemed as spam. The fewer points an e-mail message receives the more likely it is a real gem. Spam Sleuth monitors an e-mail box behind the scenes and analyzes e-mail messages for spam and virus characteristics. When an e-mail program gets e-mail, the spam has already been removed and the messages are read as before, but without sorting through the junk e-mail to find the gems. Spam Sleuth 2.0 offers robust features: * Auto-Configuration -- Spam Sleuth automatically configures your e-mail account(s). * Bayesian Statistical Analysis -- Spam Sleuth looks at previous e-mails and learns the characteristics of spam and good e-mail. Just like a baby, the Bayesian analyzer needs to be taught right from wrong. Once a user has marked previous messages as good or spam the Bayesian analyzer can be trained. Then it can contribute to the decision of whether a new e-mail is spam or not. * E-Mail Stamps -- Makes Spammers pay to send messages. A user decides how much it costs the sender to deliver an e-mail to them. If an unknown sender sends an e-mail, Spam Sleuth notifies them of the amount the user's time is worth whether it is $.01 or $100.00, and provides the mechanism to pay via PayPal using any major credit card. Spam Sleuth requires very little configuration, removes executable attachments, provides detailed reports, allows the setup of multiple accounts, and works with all POP3 e-mail accounts, including most company e-mail accounts, and Internet e-mail accounts. Spam Sleuth works with all e-mail programs including Eudora, Lotus Notes, Pegasus, Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, Mozilla and others. Through partnerships Blue Squirrel also has solutions for MSN web, AOL, free HotMail, and free Yahoo account users.
