Urbandale Deploy PineApp Mail-SeCure to filter Spam
Urbandale group of companies celebrated its 49th year in Ottawa as one of the region's largest home builders, land developers, and rental property owners.
Spam Crisis
/Networking PR News/ - GATINEAU, QC, CANADA, February 14, 2007 - Urbandale group of companies receives a lot of spam each day. Taking into account the amount of spam Urbandale receives daily, the time users spend a day opening, reading and deleting spam mail, is as much as 15 minutes per employee per working day. With the large amount of spam in user's mailboxes, accidental deletion of legitimate mail was real issue for many users.
Challenges
· To find a cost effective and easy to manage spam and virus filtering solution capable of handling thousands of emails per day.
· To find a cost effective technical support solution capable of reducing the burden of administering Corporate mail in a spam related environment.
· To find an appliance, rather than software solution that would remove the heavy load spam places on mail servers.
"PineApp's Mail-SeCure has a clean and simple user interface anyone can understand in minutes with no need for hundreds of pages of documentation or expensive training.
In today's busy world, I.T. departments do not have time for spam and viruses let alone administering appliances on a daily basis."

Network Administrator

Requirements
The solution Urbandale required needed to comply with the following demands:
Spam filter:
· Excellent detection rates
· False positives close to 0%
· Close to zero spam leaks.
Enterprise-level solution:
· The solution was required to provide stability on mail traffic peak, protect against all type of spam, including image based spam.
· The solution was required to always provide high availability, even when Urbandale's mail traffic is high.
· The solution was required to filter files and programs, even if file was named to hide its true extension.

PineApp's Enterprise Solution
Urbandale's Network Administrator, Andy Muller, carried out an extensive search for the best performing solution that will also meet the Company requirements. PineApp Mail-SeCure's anti-spam performance exceeded performance in all criteria tested.
Anti-Spam Accuracy
PineApp Mail-SeCure features different engines one of which is Commtouch's RPD technology engine. The combination of this technology with the ability to control the system's sensitivity to spam provides excellent results. Close to 0% false positives and high anti-spam percentage capture, ensures minimal time is spent by the IT department in managing the system's quarantine.
"The first few days users questioned if the mail system was down because they have not received any spam!"

Not Just Anti-Spam
One of Mail-SeCure's features is the ability to analyze traffic and report possible phishing (bank fraud email is an example of phishing attack).
PineApp Mail-SeCure is also an excellent anti-virus solution as well. Mail-SeCure identified and blocked viruses that passed through other anti-virus solutions.
Mail-SeCure has three anti-virus engines:
· F-Secure
· Kaspersky
· Commtouch's Zero-Hour provides a 100% virus-proof system.
"Their appliances are robust, enterprise class, and ready to protect you right out of the box with little or no need for configuration changes."
