Spam Filters |
Sophisticated language analysis for high accuracy
Looks for the language used in spam and applies Bayesian analysis with other techniques to classify messages. Does not depend on rules, lists, challenges or community voting that decrease accuracy. |
Personalized for your interests
Does not automatically challenge potential customers, new friends or all automated messages (like flight itineraries) with a message asking them to identify themselves.
Does not let a "community" define what mail and newsletters you can and cannot see, like some other antispam products. |
Get Started in Minutes
The Express Setup Wizard installs InBoxer and gets you started quickly. You do not create complicated rules or lists, there is no need to save dozens of messages, and you do not change the settings of your
email application. |
You do not need to learn a new program
InBoxer is integrated into Microsoft Outlook. InBoxer installs three buttons on your Outlook tool bar so that you can access all of its capabilities. You do not launch a separate program or change your email settings. |
Never
deletes a new message
Places spam in the "InBoxer - Blocked" folder instead of deleting them. If InBoxer makes a mistake, they are easily fixed with one button click. Click one button to delete all blocked messages or use the auto-aging feature to remove old spam. |
Gets More Accurate As You Use It
InBoxer is very accurate right out of the box. But, it gets even better as you use it. If InBoxer makes a mistake, a single button click will fix the error
and update the program so that it is unlikely to make a similar mistake
in the future. InBoxer learns from its mistakes. |
Anticipates
new types of junk email and spam
Continually and automatically updates itself every time a spam message arrives. It adapts to new types of spam.
No monthly subscription fee
required. |
Makes
spammers less effective
Spammers cannot create a single message that will consistently bypass the
InBoxer filters because each user has a unique filter. |
Trusted
users and domains
("white list")
Increases your confidence by ensuring that certain senders and domains
that you select will always get through. |
Trust
Contacts
("white list contacts")
Ensure that you will never block a message from one of your contacts by
trusting every email address in your contact list (address book) with one
button click. |
Blocked
users and domains
("black list")
Eliminates mail from even the cleverest spammers by always blocking certain
senders and domains that you select. |
User
adjustable sensitivity
Enables you to fine tune the filters to make them more or less aggressive
at blocking messages and to make them more or less sensitive to false alarms. |
Eliminates
centralized filter updates
InBoxer does not need regular filter subscription updates to fight attacks, it learns automatically from the mail you receive.
(At least one competitor requires free access to an Internet port for updates,
which may increase the risks from hackers.) |
Rapid
Review reduces the time it takes to catch errors
All spam filters make mistakes. But, what is the point of having a spam filter if you must continually check all the mail that comes in anyway? Unlike other spam filters, InBoxer identifies spam and also separately identifies questionable messages, which may be good. Many users find that they only need to check the smaller Review folder instead of all spam. |
