• Junk Email• Possible Junk Email• Good Email
Smargasy Spamwall uses a sophisticated score based mechanism to decide if an email should be considered junk. Every in-coming and out-going email is assigned a score. Based on this score, Smargasy Spamwall assigns one of three categories to the email:

Content Filters Finger print analysis - Smargasy Spamwall uses a proprietary method of creating a finger print of every
email. This finger print is then compared with future messages to determine if it is part of a bulk-mail campaign.
Image analysis - Embedded images in emails are analyzed for patterns.
Body and Header - Smargasy Spamwall utilizes a two-pass approach to analyze the body of every message. It then compares it with a known list of keywords containing a score. Rules can be specified for the following sections:
• Subject• Body• Attachments• Header
Custom Filter
Custom filters are the most powerful and effective filters used in Smargasy Spamwall to detect junk messages. Often spammers use several tricks to avoid being filtered. These custom filters are specially designed to detect such tricks. We believe that these custom filters are so effective that leaving just these filters on you can eliminate 90% of all junk messages
