Today, unsolicited or unwanted messages are clogging e-mail inboxes at an alarming rate! More than 70% of all e-mail traffic is “SPAM”. As e-mail vendors introduce new technology aimed to thwart this growing threat, the spammers counter by employing more creative tactics to circumvent the “filtering” technology used today.

Content or contextual-based filtering and IP addresses filtering are no longer effective methods to block unwanted e-mails as they often block legitimate e-mail from reaching you while allowing illusive junk mail into your Inbox. Outsourcing of e-mail filtering to a 3rd party is both costly and subjects you to breeches of privacy as these 3rd parties review the contents of your e-mail.

Introducing - ZAPaSPAM

ZAPaSPAM™ is a permission-based software that incorporate unique digital certificate technology which absolutely prevents message deliveries from unauthorized senders.

ZAPaSPAM ™ is not a service and is not a spam filter; it is permission-based software that only allows delivery of e-mails to your Inbox from your list of authorized senders. This list, also known as the White List, can be automatically imported from your Contacts during the simple installation process. ZAPaSPAM ™ also allows you to manually add individual e-mail addresses to your White List at any time!
 

E-mails sent from anyone on your White List will be delivered directly to your Inbox while all other e-mails will be rejected pending your review. ZAPaSPAM ™ guarantees 100% of unwanted e-mails will be blocked from your Inbox. As an additional protection, you can prevent spammers from spoofing e-mail addresses that reside on your White List by issuing "authorization codes" to individuals who reside on your White List. When the secured mode feature is activated, only e-mails containing the issued authorization code will be delivered to your Inbox. Spoofed e-mail without valid authorization codes will be rejected.
 

ZAPaSPAM ™ can also help you authenticate unknown email addresses by providing an optional sender response message, which will help you to determine whether this is from a legitimate sender or if it was generated from an automated SPAM system. When activated, this feature of ZAPaSPAM ™ automatically sends an "Undeliverable Notice" reply to all unauthorized senders. Since most SPAM is automatically generated and likely contains invalid reply-to e-mail addresses, they will never see this validation message. Legitimate email senders can simply reply to this message to obtain instant sender authentication.
 

Block 100% unwanted mails

ZAPaSPAM ™ not only blocks individual junk or spam e-mails, but it also allows you to block senders or domains (e.g. xyz.com) from reaching your Inbox. Simply add the individual or the domain to your Black List.

Messages from Black List sources are automatically deleted from Outlook. This feature helps you to better manage your e-mail by eliminating unwanted contents or inappropriate images directly from your "Rejected Mails" folder or "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook.
