Message Sniffer

Message Sniffer (SNF) is an intelligent anti-spam scanner that uses advanced pattern recognition and collaborative learning technologies to accurately identify spam, scams, viruses, and other email borne malware.

The multi-platform engine runs on Windows, Linux and BSD systems. A profesionally maintained subscription rulebase is updated frequently throughout the day by human analysts and intelligent monitoring systems.

A collaborative IP reputation system (GBUdb) responds quickly to emerging threats and saves system resources by providing IP blocking information and modifying message scan results in realtime. Learn More.

SNF accurately captures more than 99% of spam without tuning. This is not "marketspeak". We calculate this statistic from real-workd data collected by our monitoring system using system telemetry, data from spamtraps, user submissions and a comparative analysis with several dozen high quality spam tests.

In addition Message Sniffer's highly optimized engine has very modest hardware requirements and typically uses only a small fraction of the resources required by other engines (SNF typically has less than 10% of the CPU requirement of SpamAssassin when processing the same message stream!)

Message Sniffer is used by ISPs, ASPs, spam filtering services, antispam appliance vendors, schools, businesses, and consultants worldwide to protect systems from spam, scams, viruses, and other email borne threats.

Getting Started

  1. Sign up for a 30-day FREE Trial. This will give you a production ready rulebase and updates FREE for 30 days. You need the rulebase to setup your SNF software. Our system will send you rulebase download instructions when your rulebase is ready.
  2. Download a Message Sniffer software distribution (see table below) that is appropriate for your system and set it up using your trial SNF license.
  3. During or after your trial, purchase a subscription for Message Sniffer. Please note, purchasing a subscription before your trial is over will NOT cut into your free 30 days.
