 | Local Network Check | The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) allows software to identify and reject forged addresses in the SMTP MAIL FROM (Return-Path), a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is defined in Experimental RFC 4408 | SPF allows the owner of an Internet domain to use special format of DNS TXT records to specify which machines are authorized to transmit e-mail for that domain. For example, the owner of the example.org domain can designate which machines are authorized to send e-mail whose e-mail address in the Return-Path ends with "@example.org". Receivers checking SPF can then treat differently (e.g. mark or reject) any e-mail that claims to come from that domain, but fails in a check against the IPs listed in the sender policy of this domain.Please note only a Fail will not be delivered. A pass, neutral or none result will be accepted by SPF. SPF is the core technology underlying Sender ID. |
 | Local Network Check | DomainKeys is an e-mail authentication system designed to verify the DNS domain of an e-mail sender and the message integrity.

 | Local Network Check | Spam and Open Relay Blocking System. Note that this test runs all the main SORBS checks including but not limited to their Dynamic IP check, open proxy and open relay tests and known zombie IP's.The list consisted of 78,000 proxy relays and has grown to over 3,000,000 compromised spam relays. (Source: SORBS.NET as of February 8, 2006) | SORBS has been criticized due to their blacklisting of free email services such as Gmail, Yahoo!, and Hotmail, as well as mail servers at major paid service providers, such as SBC/AT&T in the U.S. This is a consequence of SORBS' spam database listing policy: any IP address that sends spam to the SORBS spamtrap addresses gets listed. Because spammers use viruses, malware and rootkit techniques to make unknowing users' computers send spam, the SORBS database will list unknowing users' mail servers. Wide networks of computers sharing the same IP address using network address translation may also suffer, because if one mail server on the network gets infected by a virus, the whole NAT'd network (even thousands of computers, though usually limited to a small office or home) will be blacklisted. |

Many internet service providers and other Internet sites use these free services to reduce the amount of spam they take on.

We subscribe to them all. |

| SURBL | Local Network Check | Spam URI Realtime Blocklists | SURBLs differ from most other RBLs in that they are used to detect spam based on message body URIs (usually web sites). Unlike most other RBLs, SURBLs are not used to identify spam senders. Instead they allow you to identify messages that have spam hosts which are mentioned in message bodies. |
 | Mail Server | Leading Desktop and Server Mail Solution | Exchange spam filters evaluate messages and determine how likely it is that a given message is spam.

Essentially, the SCL is a normalized value assigned to a message that indicates, based on the characteristics of a message (such as the content, message header, and so on), the likelihood that the message is spam. A rating of 0 indicates that the message is highly unlikely to be spam, while a rating of 9 indicates that the message is very likely spam. |
