-
The client points their Mail Exchange (MX) record to the RETP
servers.
-
All mail is directed through these servers and presented to the
clients mail server.
-
The RETP systems evaluates all mail and compares against known
spam senders and sever black list.
-
Over time the system builds a profile using predictive
technology, thus 'learning'.
-
Spam can be dealt with using a variety of methods, i.e. drop,
forward with subject modification re-direct to specified
recipients or bulk email address for manual inspection.
-
When
a virus is detected it is held in quarantine for a pre-defined
timescale
-
All inspected mail is then forwarded onto the clients mail
server, thus removing overhead on communication links and mail
servers.
-
Any issues are managed outside the clients network.
