BrightMail Anti-Spam 4.0 from BrightMail, Inc.

BrightMail Anti-Spam 4.0 provides options for Internet Service Providers and

enterprises that wish to install an on-premises server to handle local inbound

scanning for viruses and spam mail.

BrightMail hosts dummy e-mail accounts throughout the world that receive spam

messages. Suspected spam messages are analyzed for content by BrightMail's

Logistics and Operations Center (BLOC); if they are determined to be spam, they

are added to BrightMail's anti-spam database. The Anti-spam Enterprise

on-premise server functions as a client in a client-server environment with the

database on a scheduled basis.
