Overview
The Altman Technologies Email Security Service, powered by Webroot , eliminates over 98% of spam email with less than 1 in 300,000 incorrectly identified (false positives). With spam levels regularly being measured at between 65 and 90 percent, Webroot has invested heavily in technology to manage the sheer volume of unwanted email being delivered. Careful attention to connection management and integration of multiple best of breed filters has led to blocking the maximum quantities of spam with the lowest possible rate of false positives.

As with all aspects of the Altman Technologies Email Security Service, the user has complete control via a secure web control panel. Logs and quarantine areas may be viewed, rapidly searched and interrogated. As every email accepted is stamped with the time and date of receipt, tracing and tracking is made easy. Additionally, full graphical reporting provides unrivalled presentation of information.
Most users require nothing further than the automated spam detection capabilities. However, if further control is required, such as the capability to create explicit white or black lists, a powerful rules engine can be employed to refine spam management.
When spam is detected, the email is held in the Spam Log for up to 28 days, from where it can be searched, previewed, released to a mail server or deleted. User notification of spam is wholly configurable however, with volumes of spam currently so high, the default setting is for the user to receive no notification. If required, an end user may opt to receive a daily spam digest.
For those organisations that wish to provide end user access to spam logs, either for regulatory requirements or simply for improved visibility, full end user access can be provided via web and scheduled email distribution.
