Sendio 100% Email Anti-spam Solution in Nigeria – BCX Networks
Saturday, March 13th, 2010How/Where to test or buy Sendio Anti-Spam Solution in Nigeria.
Sendio ESP is what I call the “Spammer’s Nightmare!”. The stingy anti-spam solution is very easy to deploy and works on a simple subscription-based Sender Address Verification / Silverlisting technology. Many Anti Spam vendors claim they can eliminate 99% of spam and false-positives. What happens to the 1%? You simply lose business because legitimate business mails are wrongly classified as spam and you do not get to see them. Well before I begin to tell you the many good things that Sendio does, I need to tell you the truth from a Sendio Partner’s point of view: If a genuine email sender sends a business mail at 4:59pm on Friday to a receiver, for the first time, using Sendio ESP at the other end, closes his system and rushes home, he will definitely return on monday morning to find the Sender Address Verification (SAV) message instead of a reply! This means the receiver has probably not seen the message. The message resides in the receiver’s Sendio box until the sender verifies that he is indeed human, only then can the mail be pushed to the receiver. This ensures that the mail was not sent in error and also proves that the sender is not a spammer. Sweet and sour, right? Not exactly.
The SAV is pretty easy to deal with. If a spammer sends an email address with a masked address, e.g. GeNS@gtbplc.com asking you to validate your ATM Debit Card and populates the body of the mail with phishing sites, Sendio says, no problem (if DKIM is not used), and sends the SAV back to the originating email address (not the reply to email address which is usually different). The SAV message goes to GTB of course, and not the spammer! All the sender needs do is click reply, the validation string is a random one and needs not be typed, click send and your mail is delivered to the intendend recipient. If DKIM was enabled then the email would be classified as spam as the spoofed gtbplc.com domain in the sender’s email address will fail the test. Sendio only deals with the to and from string, does not parse the body (contents) of the mail in order to save time and bandwidth.
If a sender is not on your safe senders list, they must explain who they are to the Sendio Interface before hitting your exchange server. This should prevent the so-called ‘Artificial Intelligent’ anti-spam from guessing wrong or right after screening the contents of your email (extra latency). Sendio also includes an optional integrated E-mail Anti-virus protection from Kaspersky and Clam AV. If you are looking for an anti-spam solution that really works 100% for 25 to 10,000 + users, then you have come to the right place.
Deployment is slim easy, you can have a Sendio Box installed with user licenses just before your exchange server in your server room/data center or go green by using Sendio HaaS/SaaS in the cloud where your mail hosts direct your mails to a hosted Sendio Service and back to your mail server. If you are not okay with configuration headaches and integration backlashes, then Sendio is your saviour. Access Bank Plc and Bank PHB, both top Nigerian Banks use Sendio and can testify to seeing little or no spam and better Network Admin utilization compared to any other Email Security Solution out there.
