Progent's E-Mail Guard is based on Postini's managed services, which use patented pass-through filtering rather than the store-and-forward method for blocking spam, email viruses, DHA attacks, and Denial of Service Attacks. Under Postini's approach, email bound for your e-mail server is processed in real-time at Postini's protected Email Processing Center. Postini’s Connection Manager technology utilizes heuristic rules analysis to identify behavior patterns common to DHA attacks and instantly filters Directory Harvest Attack messages. Postini's Content Filter then isolates spam and viruses from acceptable e-mail via an in-memory operation that requires mere milliseconds.
