Details - RADAR (Anti Spam) - Eliminates Unwanted Email
|
|
RADAR provides a Mail Store (a light-weight SMTP and POP3 e-mail server) that sits between
your e-mail application and your regular e-mail server. You send e-mail to and from the
RADAR Mail Store instead of to and from your e-mail server. RADAR then maintains the Mail
Store; keeping spam out and letting the good mail through.
|
|
RADAR contains trusted and untrusted user lists (sometimes referred to as white and
black lists). To RADAR there are three kinds of users; trusted, untrusted and unknown.
|
|
E-mail from trusted users is allowed through to your e-mail application.
Also, whenever you send e-mail, the recipients are automatically added to
RADAR’s trusted list.
|
|
When e-mail is received by someone on your untrusted list, RADAR files the message
in a Spamage (trash) list to be later purged.
|
|
E-mail from unknown users is handled through automated DSN (Delivery Status Notification)
requests and reports. You may have received a DSN report if you have ever sent an e-mail
to an invalid e-mail address.
|
|
An e-mail message can be configured to request a DSN report from a target mail
server. A DSN can be requested to report back if mail is successfully or
unsuccessfully received and if a specified mailbox exists. Also, DSN requests
can specify the return of an identifier that allows a DSN report to be related
to an e-mail message.
|
|
Every e-mail RADAR sends or receives is assigned a
GUID (Globally Unique Identifier – a unique ID). When RADAR receives e-mail from
an unknown user, RADAR stores the e-mail in an Awaiting Response list and then
replies with a DSN request. The DSN is formatted to request a report from the
original sender’s e-mail server when the message is successfully or unsuccessfully
delivered. Also, the DSN request instructs the server to return the GUID of the
original e-mail as part of the DSN report information.
|
|
When RADAR receives a DSN report that validates an e-mail address, the original
sender is placed in RADAR’s trusted list. All current and future mail from that
trusted user is moved from the Awaiting Response list to the Certified list where
it can then be received by your e-mail application.
|
|
When RADAR receives a failed DSN report, the e-mail related to the DSN is moved
from the Awaiting Response list to the Spamage (trash) list to be later purged.
If a response is never received the e-mail is moved from the Awaiting Response
list to the Spamage list based on a configurable days-old parameter.
|
|
Some servers do not support DSN. For those servers the original sender receives
the DSN request which appears as a normal e-mail message sent on your behalf.
The e-mail message instructs the original sender to reply so their original
message can be forwarded to the intended recipient (you). If RADAR receives a reply,
the original sender is placed in RADAR’s trusted list. All current and future mail
from that trusted user is moved from the Awaiting Response list to the Certified list
where it can then be received by your e-mail application.
