This matters because email has critical information about your business and understanding this information can give management insight into deals, point out potential problems and increase the time your people spend producing. By classifying email that matters over chatter or personal email these streams can be shared with business systems or objects. Important attachments can automatically be correlated with projects. Email about a project can be viewed as a feed by anyone involved in a project. All emails about a drug trial can be automatically tagged and correlated as part of a drug trial.

Before any processing of messages occurs in Mailspect classification occurs and Mailspect can use many criteria to classify a message ranging from formatted content to free form content to sender/recipient or Active Directory function. Mailspect can be used as a stand-alone email classifier and can forward email to other systems to process or it can process itself. Mailspect can store an email about a project in a project system or it can tag the mail as part of a project and store it locally. The possibilities are limitless.

Would love to hear your thoughts on email classification and contextual email processing.

Mailspect Defense Antispam Reference Design for Large Scale Antispam Deployment

In this reference design we have Postfix handling SMTP relays and transports from LDAP. Each Postfix instance speaks remotely to mppd for policy services through a load balancer. Mppd handles STMP checks (per domain or per policy) WBL’s, Spamtraps, SPF, SMTP logging and AutoWBL’s at this level. The Postfix Policy Server of mppd is highly intelligent and works in tandem with the post-queue processor component of mppd. So for example, if we find a remote system is sending too much spam they are added to a dynamic blacklist and then cut off at the SMTP transaction.

After the SMTP session is accepted then Postfix, if required by the Stream Policy, Mailspect will send the message using the Postfix Content Filter protocol, to a pool of load balanced mppd servers.

All of the servers share common configurations and quarantine and settings databases so a new node can be quickly added for expansion.  A cluster like this can easily scale to many millions of messages a day with surprisingly sparse hardware.

Please ping me back if you have any questions or concerns!

Mailspect Connect Package Installer for Salesforce.com

ESM provides contextual email processing never before found in off-the-shelf products. The abilities of ESM can only be rivaled with vast amounts of custom programming that is expensive to maintain and support and often times considerably lags in performance over Mailspect.

Email Stream Management is the core of all ailspect products. In the ESM model email is sorted into streams and services are applied to streams. ESM processing is made up of a series of engines with programmable logic and complete flexibility in service application. Mailspect specializes in handling email based on content and there are few products, if any, that match the flexibility and powerful of Mailspect.
