Leading Automotive Manufacturer Tackles Spam with QSpamFilter; Queria's QSpamFilter Is a Revolutionary Approach to Filtering Out Unsolicited Emails in the Enterprise
CERRITOS, Calif.--Feb. 10, 2003--Queria, Inc., a new entrant in the war against spam, announced that a leading Japanese car manufacturer has selected QSpamFilter(TM) to route and filter its email to eliminate unsolicited bulk emails. Queria's QSpamFilter was selected to serve as the final layer of protection from unsolicited and offensive email. QSpamFilter was chosen, after several technologies were evaluated, because it filtered out unsolicited email that other products let through. The Queria solution also offers advantages in the broader context of routing email from important stakeholders, like customers and dealers."The adoption of QSpamFilter is a powerful demonstration of how Queria's new approach to eliminating spam by analyzing the actual content of email messages is an important advance in the fight against spam in the enterprise," said Karl Bunch, CEO and Founder of Queria, Inc. "QSpamFilter goes beyond what other spam products can do by adapting to the Corporate Sense of Spam(TM) of each unique corporation and dynamically adapts to the personal sense of spam of every employee."
QSpamFilter uses advanced computational linguistics to examine the body of every email coming into an enterprise. It identifies the concepts in a message and categorizes messages based on those concepts. Because QSpamFilter tests concepts instead of keywords, it still finds spam even as the exact wording changes.
Queria's Data-Directed Discovery (D3) uses actual source data to automatically find similar concepts and hidden commonalities in related documents. QSpamFilter uses spam emails to identify and categorize similar kinds of email. The ease with which Queria filters can be created, either by humans or automatically, is unique.
Queria understands that spam is not a black and white decision. Queria categorizes spam into intuitive categories, and can process categories differently:
| -- | Normal messages |
| -- | Light SPAM - (general sales offers, including newsletters, etc.) |
| -- | SPAM - (general spam, like diet, mortgage, credit cards, etc) |
| -- | Heavy SPAM - (Offensive or inappropriate spam like Porn, Viagra etc.) |
Because QSpamFilter separates, instead of deleting, light spam, its filters are more aggressive than other spam solutions. No spam solution can tell if a newsletter full of ads is really wanted by a given reader. By categorizing ambiguous email as light spam, users can ignore it or browse it at their leisure.
