How it Works

How does Red Condor identify spam?

Red Condor investigates bulk email that is captured from numerous decoy mailboxes worldwide. When these mailboxes receive a suspected message, we classify the content.

Red Condor uses the following filtering techniques:

• Signature filtering for virus detection
• Real time blacklists
• Message rate throttling
• Reputation scores
• Message finger print analysis
• Graphic image analysis
• Verifying recipient account name
• String based text rules
• Pattern rules
• Human review

Is somebody at Red Condor reading my mail?

No. Red Condor filters mail through a series of rules-based programs to flag suspicious messages. The only time a person looks at a specific message is if it has been sent to a decoy account or a wrong address, or is flagged by a user and sent to us for analysis.

Will the filtering delay my mail?

The filtering process typically introduces a delay of less than one second.

Can I run Red Condor on my computer?

No, Red Condor is a hosted gateway solution without client software. Users manage their account settings through a Web browser. This means there is no software on your computer to install, configure, or maintain.
