The results from OnlyMyEmail’s third participation in the Virus Bulletin VBSpam Challenge (http://www.virusbtn.com/vbspam/index) have been released.
For the third time in a row, OnlyMyEmail’s MX-Defender (http://www.onlymyemail.com/services/corporate.html) stopped more spam than any of the other 19 competitors, missing only 16 spam messages out of 137,899 for a record spam filtering capture rate of 99.9883%.
By comparison, the next best capture rate was McAfee Email Gateway which missed 113 spam messages for a false-negative rate that was 700% less effective than OnlyMyEmail’s filtering. The average “false-negative” rate among the other 19 filtering systems was a whopping 645 missed spam messages and the median was 305.
The results from Virus Bulletin’s VBSpam Challenge once again independently proves that OnlyMyEmail’s MX-Defender is decisively superior to any other spam defense available today, including not only Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions but also hardware and software solutions as well.
In all, OnlyMyEmail accurately stopped far more spam than all of these other competing solutions: Anubis, BitDefender, FortiMail, GFI VIPRE, Kaspersky, Libra Esva, McAfee Email Gateway, McAfee EWS, MessageStream, Pro-Mail, Sophos, SPAMfighter, SpamTitan, Symantec Brightmail, The Email Laundry, Vade Retro, Vamsoft ORF, Webroot and Spamhaus.
For the second time in a row, OnlyMyEmail’s Corporate MX-Defender has been proven to stop more spam than any other solution in the Virus Bulletin VBSpam Challenge.
In the latest anti-spam challenge, 20 filtering solutions were compared using a live email stream over 15 consecutive days. Once again, OnlyMyEmail’s spam capture rate was the best of all, allowing just 16 out of 89,027 junk emails for a record setting 99.9820% spam filtering rate.
Even more impressive, several of the few emails that were allowed were recognized by OnlyMyEmail as “direct marketing” and in the real world would have been either allowed or blocked based on end-user preferences.
For comparison, 7 of the solutions missed more than 500 spam messages and 2 even allowed delivery of more than 1,000 pieces of junk email.
In all, OnlyMyEmail accurately stopped more spam than any of these other competing solutions: Anubis, BitDefender, FortiMail, GFI VIPRE, Kaspersky, Libra Esva, McAfee Email Gateway, McAfee EWS, MessageStream, Pro-Mail, Sophos, SPAMfighter, SpamTitan, Symantec Brightmail, The Email Laundry, Vade Retro, Vamsoft ORF, Webroot and Spamhaus.
Virus Bulletin has included OnlyMyEmail’s Corporate MX-Defender for the first time since VBInfo began their spam filtering challenge back in 2009.
In all, 20 filtering solutions were compared in the latest test and OnlyMyEmail’s capture rate bested them all with a record capture rate of missing just 7 out of 92,606 junk emails.
That represents an astounding filtering rate of 99.9924% and, unlike tests and analysis published by others, this review was based on a live stream of email and not a static (and dated) corpus of test emails.
The next best blocking rates achieved by the next five contestants missed 29, 45, 51, 73 and 100 junk emails respectively. Four of the least effective spam filters missed more than 1,000 spam emails each.
Over the past few weeks the blogosphere has been abuzz with the news that Russia has put an end to all spam.
Okay so we’re exaggerating a little.
Forgive us, we’re just trying to get into the spirit of things. Actually, the NY Times article that started it all says “the world supply of Viagra ads and other e-mail spam has dropped by an estimated one-fifth.” more »
