Welcome
To the emailAI Pro Web site
emailAI Pro is a professional mail server that works with or without an existing mail server like Microsoft Exchange.
See the emailAI Pro recent press release
emailAI Pro delivers 100% spam protection and brings Artificial Intelligence to your emails providing a wealth of additional functionality.
emailAI Pro employs several methods to ensure no spam gets to the end user while eliminating false positives by intuitive methods such as key words, white lists and the challenge and response system.
For information on the other facilities emailAI Pro offers please see the features section of this web site.
To see a quick overview on how the system functions in a flow chart see the overview section.
Stopping spam is done by using the following methods. Each method may be used independently, with a combination of other methods or all the methods.
DNSBL
emailAI Pro communicates with DNSBL services on the internet which list the IP's of spammers. If the incoming sender of an email is on the DNSBL block list mail delivery is stopped.
SURBL
emailAI Pro communicates with SURBL services on the internet which list URL (domains) of the links in which a spammer wishes for the customers to go. If an incoming email contains one of these URL's mail delivery i stopped.
SAV
emailAI Pro uses Sender Address Verification for incoming emails. Sender Address Verification checks to see if the sender of an email actually exists by trying to reverse deliver and email to who the email was from. If the server says that the recipient doesn't exist emailAI Pro knows then that the incoming email has a false reply address and mail delivery is stopped. The sender address verification process is done by communicating with an internet server on port 80 which then carries out the check which gets around the port 25 block most ISP's have in place.
IP Location Blocking
emailAI Pro allows for blocking of unsolicited emails coming from any country in the world. If an organization only does business with its own country this can dramatically reduce spam. For example a country might never receive emails from Russia so blocking all emails coming in from Russia (a major spam source) can drastically reduce the amount of spam traffic for an organization.
Black List
emailAI Pro employs black list functionality. Emails addressed from addresses on the black list are refused delivery. The black list can contain email addresses or domains.
Only Allow
emailAI Pro has an option to only allow emails from people on the emailAI Pro White List for particular user accounts. This allows companies or parents (great for child protection) to ensure only emails come to certain users from known senders.
AI Spam Filtering
emailAI Pro has a built in spam filtering system that analyzes emails that have been successfully delivered and emails that have been sent to spam. From this information emailAI Pro is able to analyses incoming emails and send them to spam if they match the patterns of previously received spam. Because emailAI Pro builds these filters based on what it is seeing relevant to the particular organization it is a very accurate filter.
Challenge & Response
To stop spam dead in its tracks emailAI Pro sends a validation request back to the sender of the email asking them to confirm they indeed did send it. This is a one time only check for each new sender of an email to an organization running emailAI Pro. Spammers never use there own email addresses to spam so this method is the most accurate and is typically used as a final line of defense against spam.
Keyword System
emailAI Pro takes different approach for accepting emails that are not SPAM. Through configurable global keywords or keywords for a particular user an email can be automatically accepted and delivered and an optional White List entry can be made for the sender.
For example spam doesn't generally contain personal details so a good keyword to use is the real name of the person the mail is for (if it is not part of their email address).
Note it is also possible to add phrases as keywords.
Here are some examples of keywords to use
- Any part of a signature line of an email you send
- Company name
- Company phone number
- Services specific to the company ie "freight", "taxi", "doctor", "programming", "web site development", "conveyance"
- Services specific to an individual user, for example someone in accounts might have keywords such as "finance", "balance sheet", "profit", "budget", "ANZ Bank" etc.
- Brands of companies that a company deals with such as "TNT", "Qantas", "United Airlines" etc
