'You've Got Mail,' More and More, and Mostly, It Is Junk

Spam - those annoying and unwanted commercial messages that cram your e-mail box each day - is projected to triple in the next five years.

Industry experts say there is very little that can be done to stop the torrent of unwanted pornography offers, invitations to join get-rich schemes, and free gift offers.
There is currently no effective software available that can block all unwanted e-mail, although some programs cut down on volume, and some major Internet providers offer to block random messages sent from some known mass-mailers.

Image spam is a technique where the spam message consists of an image and a small amount of text that looks like it is 100% text-based, when in fact it is an image that looks exactly like a regular email message.
In addition, while all image spam messages may look the same to an end-user, spammers have programs to automatically create each image to have slightly different coloration, speckle patterns, or fonts. This causes messages to appear unique when received and processed by spam filters.

To help defeat these attacks, BorderWare developed Intercept™ Image Analysis a new patent-pending technology. Intercept Image Analysis is an image classification technique, to be used in addition to the existing and effective threat detection techniques to specifically combat image spam.

Most anti-spam solutions are inneffective when trying to fight image spam
, but BorderWare's "Intercept Image Analysis" inspects over 30 attributes about each image, to adapt, learn and defeatnew image spam campaigns.
