SpamNet Named "Best Buy" in PC World June 2004 Desktop Anti-Spam Roundup.

SpamNet delivers Roundup's highest accuracy (over 98%) and the lowest false positive rate.

Boston, Massachusetts - May 12, 2004 — MayFlower Software, the leading anti-spam vendor for Lotus Notes and Domino, today announced that SpamNet™, the technology that powers SpamSentinel™, demonstrated the best performance in PC World's June 2004 'antispam filters' roundup. SpamNet was rated as the magazine's "Best Buy," including the lowest false positive rate that is an unprecedented 50 percent better than the second place vendor. In addition, SpamNet blocked almost 100% of the testers' junk mail to out perform all of the nine products tested.

Logan G. Harbaugh, reviewer for PC World states, "SpamNet had the lowest false positive rate of any spam filter I've ever tested and a superb catch rate of over 98 percent." Harbaugh notes that this includes beating out even enterprise-class products that he has tested for PC World's sister publication InfoWorld. Harbaugh also found that SpamNet "didn't tag any legitimate messages that were not bulk mail." This finding confirms that a SpamNet user will never experience a business critical, or person-to-person email in the Spam Folder, because a group of trusted SpamNet users has to actually vote a message as spam for it to end up there. Furthermore, Harbaugh notes that SpamNet's "virtually effortless filtering, and high success rate should put SpamNet on your short list of filtering products."

SpamNet was also the only product to receive five stars for accuracy in the recent February, PC Magazine spam filtering roundup.

Real-time community solution ensures accuracy
SpamNet is the first and largest SpamFighting community in the world, more than 900,000 people in more than 70 countries collaborating in real-time to stop spam. SpamNet keeps over 98 percent of spam out of your inbox automatically, so spam doesn't steal time from your day. If a spam does slip through to your inbox, simply click the Block button to remove the message from your inbox and notify the entire SpamNet community immediately. This automatically helps stop that spam message from being sent to other members of the SpamNet community. Similarly, if you think a certain message is not spam, you can click the Unblock button and share that intelligence with the network. To ensure accuracy and the lowest false positives, SpamNet uses its Truth Evaluation System (TeS) to establish trust and reputation for each user in the network. This trust rating is considered alongside every message submitted by SpamNet members, eliminating flawed submissions and gaming of the system.
SpamNet never deletes an email; it is just moved to the Spam Folder so you never lose email you care about. Its collaborative architecture and real-time response are the reason why not a single SpamNet user was infected by 2003's worst virus, Sobig-f, or the recent "Sasser" virus in early May 2004.
