CFCS Spam Killing Software Gains National RecognitionOrlando, FL, 5-20-03 - CFCS’ SpamDefender solution for small-business mail servers has gained national attention by being featured in the 4/28/03 issue of Computer Reseller News.

Central Florida Computer Services (CFCS), Orlando, Fla., took a more traditional approach to fighting spam, but targeted its solution at cost-effectively handling the needs of the five-to-10-mailbox business. The Test Center recognizes that this is a drastically underserved market, ripe with opportunity for solution providers that build turnkey solutions of their own.

CFCS found that no commercial or open-source products currently on the market filled the need for inexpensive server-based mail filtering for a small business with marginal Internet connectivity. Commercial server-side products were too expensive; personal, or single-client, products had too high an administrative overhead; and open-source products were either too complicated or bandwidth-intensive.

Relying on Perl scripts to detect and quarantine spam mail, CFCS’ solution integrates Fetchmail, Procmail and Sendmail. The solution builds separate blacklists for subject lines, senders’ addresses and message bodies from received mail that recipients identify as unsolicited. Users forward the headers of junk mail to an administrator, who adds them to the block list. When a message is suspected of being junk mail, it’s quarantined to a single account, preventing the loss of false positives, and the sender is notified.
