Existing
antispam solutions can filter messages written in a foreign language but
this does not stop all spam messages coming from foreign countries.
A spammer based in
China and targeting people in the United States will compose a
message in English and bypass all foreign language detection in
today's antispam solutions.
XE-Filter uses "Country-of-Origin" not message body text
XE-Filter
stops this spammers trick by matching the IP address to a country of
origin.
Spam email, written
in any language, is trapped by XE-Filter if the country of origin is
found in XE-Filter's
banned country list. |
