LONDON -- GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP has been awarded the Checkmark Anti-Spam Premium Certificate. The technology report produced by West Coast Labs highlights the detailed technical analysis the product went through and found that the anti-spam, anti-phishing and email management solution had a 98% spam detection rate, above the Checkmark requirements. After rigorous testing, and ahead of competitive products, GFI MailEssentials also achieved a 100% valid email identification rate; ensuring that no legitimate email was blocked

The Checkmark system tests and certifies that security products meet international standards, requiring that anti-spam software meets a minimum of 97% spam detection. West Coast Labs conducted a range of tests in conjunction with Checkmark to indicate how the GFI product performed in a simulated business environment. The solution was evaluated in terms of features and functionality, the way it integrated into a network infrastructure, the level of administrator support it requires and the spam detection capabilities. It was measured against live spam from an initial out-of-the-box configuration, through daily "training" to an optimum spam detection level over two weeks.
