    VIRUS BULLETIN AUTHORIZED REPRINT

    EXCERPT FROM VBSPAM COMPARATIVE REVIEW SEPT 2012


    THE TEST SET-UP
    The VBSpam test methodology can be found at http://www.virusbtn.com/vbspam/methodology/. As usual, email was sent to the products in parallel and in real time, and products were given the option to block email pre-DATA. Five products chose to make use of this option. As in previous tests, the products that needed to be installed on a server were installed on a Dell PowerEdge R200, with a 3.0GHz dual core processor and 4GB of RAM. The Linux products ran on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 or Ubuntu 11; the Windows Server products ran on either the 2003 or the 2008 version, depending on which was recommended by the vendor. To compare the products, we calculate a nal score, which is dened as the spam catch (SC) rate minus ve times the false positive (FP) rate. Products earn VBSpam certication if this value is at least 97: SC - (5 x FP) 97 The test ran for 16 consecutive days, from 12am GMT on Saturday 18 August 2012 until 12am GMT on Monday 3 September 2012. The corpus contained 144,971 emails, 134,418 of which were spam. Of these, 101,621 were provided by Project Honey Pot, and 32,797 were provided by Spamfeed.me from Abusix. They were all relayed in real time, as were the 10,366 legitimate emails (ham) and the remaining 187 emails, which were all legitimate newsletters. over 134,000 emails, impressive is an understatement. And yet again, with just two false positives, the product has one of VERIFIED the lowest false positive rates. If there is something that can be improved, it is the performance on newsletters, where the product blocked a number of mostly Swedish and Finnish newsletters, but thats only a small detail and shouldnt stop the developers from celebrating achieving another VBSpam award with this months highest nal score.
