How to keep spam off your e-mail server, if it’s a 3000 3k Associates released a new version of its Internet e-mail products with advanced features to keep spam outside your company. Spammers like to hit corporate mail servers as stepping stones to carry the junk you wind up seeing in your mailbox every morning; Microsoft Exchange servers are among the favorite targets. Keeping them from stealing your mailserver resource is what 3k’s software advances do. The POP Server and SMTP mail engine incorporated in all of 3k’s Internet mail products now includes a revolutionary “relay detection and prevention” facility. 3k calls the ultimate spam-relay prevention facility “read before send.” It records the IP address of any POP mail client when they successfully check their mailbox. Then, for a given period of time following that, the 3k mail server will allow messages to be relayed from that source — allowing POP clients full mail delivery access via its ‘smart” server. Fixed or known IP addresses can also be permanently allowed. Meanwhile, any attempt to relay a message from any other source immediately alerts administrators (via the system console and urgent mail notices), allowing immediate action to track down the attempted perpetrator.
