How Does SPIRUS Work?

SPIRUS is an inline mail filter that performs SPAM and Virus filtering of all inbound messages prior to them reaching your mail server.

Multiple Methods of Filtering

SPIRUS utilizes a complete spectrum of SPAM and Virus identification techniques including real-time DNS blacklists, message origination, content analysis, geographical origination, message language, MIME type analysis and more. The system is managed by a team of experts to adapt and overcome the latest trends in SPAM and Virus attacks.

Multiple Levels of SPAM Filtering

SPIRUS features four levels of SPAM filtering to categorize messages for processing. Each incoming message is scored with a number that indicates the likelihood that it is SPAM.

  • DISCARD - Messages that are this level or above are discarded outright since they are identified as known SPAM or from known SPAM sources.
  • QUARANTINE - Messages at this level may be redirected to a quarantine mailbox that is used to gather messages that are almost always SPAM.
  • FLAGGED - Messages at this level are flagged in the message headers as SPAM. The recipient may choose to receive these messages normally or redirect using client-side filters.
  • CLEAN - Messages identified as clean are delivered unmodified to your user mailboxes.

  • What information is needed to set up SPIRUS?
    Configuring SPIRUS requires your domain name and the IP address of your mail server. In addition, your DNS will need to be updated to change your MX record to the inbound filtering server.
