Xwall owners unaffected by email troubles

The Xwall Email Control System keeps Exchange servers protected from the SOBIG virus outbreak and is well equipped to handle malfunctioning Spam lookup services.

August, 2003 -- The block filters in Xwall do an excellent job keeping SOBIG out of all the Exchange servers it protects. The extensive spam filtering options found in Xwall allow the IT managers to react quickly to new treats. Xwall is capable to identify the SOBIG virus in the message header and stop it from being passed on to the server. Xwall can also be used to simply stop the messages carrying the SOBIG viruss payload by means of selective attachment blocking.

Xwall utilizes multiple spam filters including DNSBL and SLS (Spam lookup services). Recently Osirusoft reported operational problems. We advise Xwall users to configure the Spam lookup services in groups. Xwall can be set to only declare a message spam if the message fails all services in the group. If a troubled SLS is part of a group the functioning services will prevent any false positives due to the problem at failing SLS. The SLS group feature is part of all Xwall Mail Filters since version 3.27. We recommend using at least 2 groups with 2 members. Xwall can accommodate 10 or more groups with several members in each.

Xwall is a Windows platform email control system protecting mail server systems from spam, junk mail and viruses carrying attachments. Xwall is designed for but not limited to the Microsoft Exchange Server. Xwall effectively filters Spam and can block other undesired mail sent to former employees, pesky newsletters, dangerous attachments and so on. In addition, Xwall also can be used to collect statistical email data, place disclaimer notices in outgoing mail and can archive every incoming and outgoing email message.

Xwall is licensed per exchange server with unlimited users. Xwall sells for $349.00. For more information visit http://www.ceratec.net/xwall.htm or http://www.xwall.us
