How Spam & Virus
Filtering Works with Katharion
JB WebHosting has partnered with Katharion, the industry
leader for detecting spam. The result of thousands of hours
of development and Katharion’s experience from processing
billions of messages, Katharion has created techniques for
spam and virus detection in combination with a variety of
next-generation approaches for message analysis that provide
effective and successful filtering results.
Integration
As a managed service provider, Katharion is
compatible with any email system and can be implemented rapidly.
At the same time, Katharion’s
customizable management interface and innovative features
such as 'one-click whitelisting' assure that the solution
is both simple to deploy and extremely easy to maintain.
Through a simple DNS change, email is automatically protected,
without any hardware, software, or configuration changes for
the customer. The change of the 'MX' record (mail exchanger)
for your domain will point to Katharion's systems. After that
change has been made, your email will be redirected through
Katharion’s filters before being automatically delivered
to your mail server
Works with your existing infrastructure
In addition to being compatible with any existing email system,
Katharion is designed to integrate seamlessly with an organization’s
email infrastructure. Among other benefits, this means that
customers do not have to worry about managing email users
in multiple places.
Whether a customer is running Exchange, Groupwise, sendmail,
qmail, or some other mail server, Katharion provides simple,
rapid integration with that system via LDAP/LDAPS or other
protocols as appropriate. Email addresses are synchronized
automatically, along with authentication information as desired.
Thus Katharion can easily defend organizations against Directory
Harvest Attacks, as well as spam runs and intentional (or
unintentional) Denial of Service attacks.
Beyond compatibility
Katharion also provides a sophisticated web services API that
allows larger enterprises and Internet Service Providers to
manage users, domains, and preferences programmatically. This
feature - together with a web-based interface that is designed
for re-branding, single sign-on, and/or integration with an
organization’s existing web portal - helps ensure that
Katharion can offer not only compatibility but true integration
with a very wide range of environments.
