Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send undesired and unsought
bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to
similar abuses in other media like instant messaging spam, web search engine spam, and spam in blogs,
mobile phone messaging spam, and junk fax transmissions. Real spam is generally e-mail advertising for
some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup. Another most harmful effect of spam is that it also
consumes lot of network bandwidth and as a result there is network congestion thereby transmission of
data packets slows down.
As internet is public, there is really little that can be done to prevent spam, just as it is
impossible to prevent junk mail. However, we have developed anti-spam solutions to prevent spammers
from spamming their subscribers.
Spam is a multi-dimensional problem, which requires a multi-dimensional solution. With our anti-spam
technology called, Xerospam, these unwanted e-mails can most certainly be rejected.
Developed by our dedicated and intelligent experts in the field of E-mail security, Xerospam
technologies were designed with two goals: Automatically stop current attacks including and stay a
step ahead of new attacks and threats. System-wide checks and balances virtually eliminate false
positives and maintain the integrity and security of the network.

ROI
Educate users- User behavior can influence how much spam they encounter. Educate users and tell them not
to register on or visit questionable Web sites. Tell them not to respond to spam e-mails and to avoid publishing
e-mail addresses on public Web sites, because spam programs tack down these sites for new targets.
Implement text analysis - Administrators can configure anti-spam software to recognize words used by
spammers and prevent them from being routed to users' inboxes.
Establish blacklists - For e-mail hosts, domains and users. Blocking messages from known spam hosts,
domains and users can help significantly reduce unwanted e-mails.
Invest in anti-spoofing - By preventing spam e-mails from looking like legitimate correspondence,
users will not be fooled into responding and attracting even more spam.
Spam senders are as savvy as virus writers in outsmarting protection strategies and filters. To stay one step
ahead of blocking technology, spammers are changing text, altering headers and changing e-mail hosts and
domains. In response to this cat-and-mouse game, anti-spam vendors are constantly enhancing their products
Eliminating 95% to 99% of spam is a commendable target. One of the biggest challenges, of course, is to ensure
that valid communications are not blocked. Today, most anti-spam software captures about 40%-45% of unwanted
e-mails. The ROI for anti-spam initiatives is already significant and will continue to increase as software
becomes even more advanced.
Benifits of Xerospam:

Xerospam Enterprise Version
Xerospam Anti-Spam detects spam in incoming mail transmitted by SMTP servers and filters it out before the
particular e-mail is forwarded to the recipient. Xerospam is compatible with all commonly used mail systems
and clients, making it easy to incorporate the solution into existing network configurations regardless of
the operating system that is being used.
The solution is flexible enough to be used either as a separate filter or a full-scale enterprise mail
server.
The volume of unsolicited bulk correspondence, or spam, is growing by the day. Time spent deleting spam is
time wasted, which costs your business money. Any comprehensive information security system should include
protection against spam.
Depending on configuration, spam can be
1. Delivered to the original address (as initially sent or with changes)
2. Deleted
3. Redirected to a predefined address
Xerospam Enterprise Edition Version is an efficient and potent spam blocker that uses a wide range of
effective spam identification technologies, including proprietary blacklists, signatures and URL
identification technology.
Xerospam uses its own monitoring probe network that collects an undisclosed number of spam messages every
day to constantly fine-tune the tools it uses to uncover and track-down spam. The platform uses different
processing components, including signatures of spam messages, regular expressions and URLs embedded in spam
that separate genuine and authentic e-mails from detrimental and dangerous e-mails.
Xerospam shoulders the burden of identifying spam based on its probe network. Because new rules and spam
signatures are sent out securely from Xerospam to all customers in every specific time interval, we think
IT managers and IT industry will find the product effective at eliminating spam from user in-boxes.
Xerospam's administrative control is likely more than sufficient for most organizations and it allowed us
to take the same action on all e-mails being filtered or to take different actions on two (and only two)
domains.

Xerospam Mobile Version
Mobile spam, phishing and viruses are expected to grow significantly as Internet and mobile communications
merge with each other. Mobile access to e-mails is estimated to grow to around 350-400 million users worldwide
as prices of email-capable devices and data service plans get reduced. Connections from the Internet to the
mobile network open the door to attacks from any computer.
Messaging abuse is both contentious, and damaging to the mobile subscriber. In addition to bearing the cost of
mobile spam receipt, subscribers face the risk of identity theft and fraud from phishers and spammers. For
mobile operators, mobile messaging abuse directly impacts operational and capital costs. It consumes valuable
bandwidth, causes canonical and authorized messages to be delayed and breaks down the bond of trust between
operators and subscribers, hindering the embracement of new services such as mobile advertising. The financial
impact to the operator is considerable in terms of customer support, infrastructure costs and of-course loss in
revenues.
Since the core of the Xerospam classification system is language, and network protocol-skeptic, all types of
mobile threats, including virus executable files, are identified and blocked before they are transmitted to the
subscriber.
Email to Mobile E-mail ? As more subscribers access their business and personal e-mails from devices such
as Blackberry, Nokia Communicators, Motorola Q and other smartphones/high-end phones and PDAs, the operators will
face the same type and levels of threats seen previously only in the fixed line environment. Mobile-targeted
malware designed to damage device operating systems or impregnate corporate networks will be costly for
businesses and consumers.
Email to SMS/Text Message ? Text messaging via Web interfaces provide another channel for spammers and
phishers to reach mobile subscribers. These e-mail originated text messages currently take the form of spam
advertising, stock scams, false recharge notices or calls to premium rate numbers.
Mobile Network to SMS/Text Message ? Mobile network originated threats are expected to increase
exponentially as the cost of mobile delivery backslides. If this issue is not addressed, operators will bear
significant costs in bandwidth and storage in addition to subscriber convulse and customer support cases.
Xerospam is working with mobile messaging infrastructure providers to provide unique solutions that prevent
SMS/text message spam and phishing attacks received from both off-network and on-network sources.
Conclusion
With the emergence of Xerospam, even the mobile users can sigh a huge relief of being able to protect their
mobile phones from any incoming spam or virus contained messages in their phones thereby satisfactory usage
of the phone.
