The new system is intended to provide total protection of Openwave’s email system from malware and spam, using new technology to work proactively to stop spam before it happens. The new system has a focus on image-based spam and multi-lingual spam, two major problems affecting internet security in 2007.

Same old promises.. no delivery

must be a slow news day. How many vendors have promised to do this? The only thing I have found close is spamarrest.com. Love it or hate it Challenge/Response works against zombie spam.

Re: Same old promises.. no delivery

Challenge/response might be a short term fix for the selfish end-user, but it's not a real solution. Read here for some of the issues.

Re: Same old promises.. no delivery

I use C/R with spamarrest.com. It is C/R with enhancements

Old arguements. newer technology has put aside most of these issues with C/R. it isn't selfish. how is clicking on a single URL one-time to authenticate you forever (unless revoked by enduser) selfish? Are we saying that people don't know how to click in URL's in email?

Plus, C/R solutions offer the option to import your existing address book and whitelist entire domains.

Don't knock C/R unless you have tried it. C/R has blocked 100% of spam that made it past commercial server based solutions into my account.

For over a month I have had ZERO spam get into my inbox. and I get over 100 spam's a day directed to my domain. Server gets about 90% of the spam, SpamArrest gets the others.
