In the latest round of the Virus Bulletin comparative testing of leading anti-spam solutions, the Spamhaus ZEN+DBL DNS Block List solution achieved a very impressive catch rate of 98.92% of all possible spam emails. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that it did not block a single legitimate message or any newsletters which are included in the test to validate the quality of the filtering mechanisms used. Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) October 13, 2011 The test ran for 19 consecutive days, and contained 176,485 emails, 171,963 of which were spam. Of these, 87,462 were provided by Project Honey Pot and 84,501 were provided by Abusix; they were all relayed in real time, as were the 4,315 legitimate emails. The remaining 207 emails made up a small corpus of newsletters which was generated by manually subscribing to a large number of newsletters, in a number of different languages and topics. "As a partner responsible for the commercial support of the Spamhaus DNS Block List Data-Feed, to ISP's, End-users and OEM partners, we are quite pleased to see Spamhaus scoring so highly. These results clearly demonstrate what our customers already know - that the Spamhaus DNS Block List is clearly the most accurate, high-performance and cost-effective way to keep mailboxes free of spam and other malware" said Denis Hamel, CTO at MXTools. The Spamhaus Data Feed is designed to be integrated with existing Email Servers or other Email Filtering & Security products in order to provide a complete anti-spam solution. "This award is another confirmation that we are doing the right things" said Steve Linford, CEO of the Spamhaus Project. "We estimate that Spamhaus blocklists are used to protected over 1.4 billion mailboxes on a global basis. Therefore, the quality of our data and the performance we provide are top priorities. This Award is both a recognition and a validation of the hard work and dedication of our global staff of researchers and volunteers."
