Efficient Utilization of IT Resources

IceWarp Anti-Spam LIVE utilizes system resources efficiently by querying the real-time detection center only when result of traditional analysis methods cannot clearly determine the message as spam or genuine. By dynamically shifting the processing load from the built-in engine to the on-line detection center, the server operates more smoothly in traffic peaks and under spam attacks. Confirmed spam is rejected immediately, without occupying disk space, which in turn simplifies quarantine management and improves productivity.

Benefits for customers utilizing the integrated Anti-Spam LIVE technology:

  • Double Anti-Spam Protection
  • Double Anti-Virus Protection
  • Lower bandwidth utilization
  • Increased overall system performance
  • Improved message delivery times
  • More effective utilization of disk storage
  • Increased productivity of employees and IT staff
  • Protection from business risks, identity theft, system outage

Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD)

Rather than evaluating the content of messages, RPD proactively analyses vast volumes of Internet traffic via a network of servers around the world (24x7x365) which report back to the real-time detection center. Outbreaks are immediately identified by their massive distribution patterns (hence the name) the minute they emerge (zero hour). This makes the system very effective against distributed campaigns, polymorphic malware and new spamming tricks such as image or attachment spam.

The content, language and format agnostic approach results in system which:

  • Is immune to Bayesian poisoning, misspelled keywords, HTML cloaking
  • Doesn't dependent on spam source IPs, mostly short-lived botnets
  • Works for language-diversified spam distribution
  • Deals with malware, exploits, counterfeit URLs and other threats
  • Protects against new types (audio spam) and new spamming methods
  • Addresses phishing, spoofing, social engineering methods


To ensure maximum privacy and business confidentiality, RPD was designed to analyze hashed values of message patterns and not the 'open' values nor the message content.
