Why did UW Technology choose PureMessage to do the spam scoring?
UW Technology has been testing junk email evaluation and filtering software for many months and settled on PureMessage for a number of reasons: • The way PureMessage works fits in well with how the UW email system works, allowing UW Technology to provide a central, high quality, high speed spam identification system without major changes in the existing infrastructure. • Embedding a spam score in the email messages themselves gives each person more control of how they deal with spam. They can use EDM or some other filtering software of their choice. • ActiveState, which makes PureMessage, has demonstrated its ability and intention to keep the spam scoring system up-to-date. • No changes are needed in the email client program you are already using to use the Junk Email Filtering function. • PureMessage has received good reviews from other higher education institutions. Stanford, for example, is using it in their campus spam management system.
