Just got an email today from Katharion outlining some new features coming soon. I am very excited about the new image spam detection, outbound mail filter and the improved interface features, will have to wait and see how they work.
Message Analysis
- a ’smarter’ optical character recognition component that builds on the ‘fuzzy OCR’ already in place to detect image-based spam
- the ability for end users to limit the character sets (English versus Chinese, etc.) and top-level domains (.com versus .ru for example) they want to accept mail from
- an advanced version of greylisting that incorporates network-layer rate-limiting with a very large database of historical mail traffic patterns — allowing us to safely block email threats without having to temporarily defer messages via traditional greylisting
Outbound Filtering In addition to improvements in the detection of inbound email threats, we will soon be launching the first major addition to our service — outbound filtering.
We expect the outbound filtering to be launched at the end of April.
Email ArchivalShortly after the release of outbound filtering, we will also be introducing an email archival service. With this service, companies can easily archive all of their email communications, with messages securely stored at multiple datacenters for subsequent search and retrieval.
Updated Interface Last but not least, we will be launching a redesigned web-based control panel. The new interface will support the new service offerings, and will include new features such as the ability for users to view and respond to messages in queue, message search capabilities, an integrated support section with online diagnostics, additional reporting including logs of message deliveries or non-deliveries, a wizard for managing groups of users, online billing, and various other enhancements.
