Roaring Penguin Software upgrades their CanIt IP Reputation list. The CanIt IP Reputation list is a key component of the CanIt family of anti-spam solutions for ISPs, Web Hosts, Universities, and Managed Services Providers.

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2011 -- Roaring Penguin Software's CanIt Reputation List collects IP reputation data on e-mail servers fr1om a worldwide network of sensors. Roaring Penguin currently aggregates this data into four DNS-based block lists:

Spam Source: A list of IP addresses that have sent mostly spam and very little non-spam.

Dictionary Attackers: A list of IP addresses that have sent to many nonexistent recipients and very few valid recipients.

Greylist Stumblers: A list of IP addresses that have been thwarted by greylisting. Such machines are typically compromised personal computers.

Good: A list of IP addresses that have passed greylisting, have sent to very few nonexistent recipients, and have sent mostly non-spam. These machines are very likely legitimate mail servers.

To these block lists Roaring Penguin has added a new list called "Mixed" for hosts that send a mixture of spam and non-spam.

Roaring Penguin found that the old "SpamSource" list would often list outbound mail servers for large e?mail providers. These servers tend to send a lot of spam, but they also send a lot of non-spam e-mail.

The change to Roaring Penguin's Reputation Lists means that about 5600 machines formerly listed on the "SpamSource" list are now listed on "Mixed". This still leaves almost 1.9 million machines listed on the "SpamSource" e-mail reputation list.

CanIt 8.0 is available as:

CanIt-PRO, an anti-spam / anti-virus appliance or a soft appliance.
CanIt-Domain-PRO, spam filtering software that allows service providers such as MSPs to host anti-spam for their customers.
Hosted CanIt, a fully outsourced anti-spam solution.

Roaring Penguin Software upgrade includes new e-mail log analysis feature, audit trails and an improved web interface.

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2011 -- Roaring Penguin Software Inc., the email filtering experts, makers of the acclaimed CanIt-PRO, CanIt-Domain-PRO and Hosted CanIt anti-spam solutions, announced the release of CanIt 8.0. CanIt 8.0 introduces several major new features that greatly improve its suitability for enterprises:

Log Indexing and Searching

CanIt 8.0 indexes all mail logs into a full-text search engine. This allows system administrators and domain administrators to quickly search logs for relevant messages. The logs are grouped into correlated sets on a per-message basis; this allows CanIt to pull together log lines that are far apart in time but relate to the same message. CanIt's log indexer can search gigabytes of log data in just seconds from a convenient Web interface. This makes tracking down the progress of messages simple and pleasant compared to searching log files with traditional file-searching tools.

CanIt's email log analyzer is fully aware of realms of control; administrators can only see those log lines that pertain to their users' messages. Log lines pertaining to messages for users in other organizations are not accessible to domain administrators---only the CanIt site administrator can access cross-organizational log messages.

Complete Rule and Setting Auditing

CanIt 8.0 introduces a complete audit trail for all changes to rules and settings. This lets administrators determine when rules are created, changed or deleted, and by whom. It also lets helpdesk staff troubleshoot delivery problems by determining exactly what rules and settings were in effect at a given time.

Brand-New Web Interface

CanIt's Web interface code has been overhauled to make theming much simpler. Now, theming your CanIt site requires only minimal knowledge of PHP. Most theming work can be done by HTML designers who do not have to be programmers. As a side benefit, the new Web interface code is faster than the old code, making CanIt's GUI even snappier.

In addition to these major features, CanIt 8.0 features dozens of small improvements and bug fixes such as geolocation data for IPv6 addresses, several new API calls, improvements to the Verification Server (SMTP Callout) feature and better SNMP monitoring code.

CanIt 8.0 is available as:

* CanIt-PRO, an anti-spam software solution suitable for small and medium business.
* CanIt-Domain-PRO, spam filtering software for MSPs to host anti-spam for their customers.
* Hosted CanIt, a fully outsourced, hosted anti-spam service.

Hosted CanIt introduces several major new features that greatly improve its suitability for small and medium enterprises:

Log Indexing and Searching:

Hosted CanIt now indexes all e-mail logs into a full-text search engine. This allows system administrators and domain administrators to quickly search logs for relevant messages. The logs are grouped into correlated sets on a per-message basis; this allows Hosted CanIt to pull together log lines that are far apart in time but relate to the same message. CanIt's log indexer can search gigabytes of log data in just seconds from a convenient Web interface. This simplifies the process of finding a lost message compared to the painful searching of log files with traditional file-searching tools.

CanIt's log indexer is fully aware of realms of control; customers administrators can only see those log lines that pertain to their users' messages. Log lines pertaining to messages for users in other organizations are not accessible to domain administrators --- only the Manged Service Providers designated system administrator can access cross-organization log messages.

Brand-New Web Interface

Hosted CanIt's Web interface code has been overhauled to make theming much simpler. Now, theming a Hosted CanIt anti-spam site is simple and relatively painless. Most theming work can be done by HTML designers. The new Web interface code is faster than the old code, making CanIt's GUI even snappier than ever.

In addition to these major features, CanIt features dozens of small improvements and bug fixes such as geolocation data for IPv6 addresses, several new API calls, improvements to the Verification Server (SMTP Callout) feature and better SNMP monitoring code.

Roaring Penguin Software submits Internet-Draft for IP Reputation structure to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/27/2010 -- Standards will make it easy to instrument systems to collect data and report it to one or more reputation-collection systems.

Roaring Penguin Software Inc., makers of the acclaimed CanIt line of anti-spam solutions, today announced that they have submitted an internet draft to the Internet Engineering Task Force. Several organizations (Project Honeypot, Spamhaus, RepuScore, etc.) maintain databases detailing the reputation of various IP addresses.

These organizations use various ad hoc methods to collect the reputation data. There is no standard for reporting events to reputation-collectors; this makes it hard to instrument a large number of systems to be data gatherers in a standard way.

Roaring Penguin Software supports open protocols to allow interoperability between Real Time block lists. Open Standards have made the Internet the powerful network that it is today. They have benefited both users and developers over the long run and prevent the constant reinvention of the wheel.

The following event types are defined for IPv4 and IPv6 events:

1. GREYLISTED: 2. UNGREYLISTED: 3. AUTO-SPAM: 4. HAND-SPAM: 5. AUTO-HAM: 6. HAND-HAM: 7. VALID-RECIPIENT: 8. INVALID-RECIPIENT: 9. VIRUS: 10 - 255. FUTURE:

Added in Version 2 of the Internet Draft

- An Extensible Report format consisting of tagged subreports.
- IP address reports can include a count byte to compress repeated events.
- A mechanism to report back software name and version.
- A mechanism for vendor-specific subreport formats.

The draft proposal can be viewed at:

http://www.mimedefang.org/reputation

Among other things the IETFs mission includes identifying, and proposing solutions to technical problems in the Internet and specifying the development or usage of protocols to solve such technical problems. The IETF makes recommendations to the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) regarding the standardization of protocols and protocol usage in the Internet. An Internet Draft is the first step in the development of an Internet Protocol.

Roaring Penguin Software upgrades their CanIt line of anti-spam software for ISPs, Web Hosts, Universities, and Managed Services Providers.

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/24/2010 -- Roaring Penguin Software Inc., the email filtering experts, makers of the acclaimed CanIt-PRO, CanIt-Domain-PRO and Hosted CanIt anti-spam solutions, announced incremental changes to their e-mail filtering software with the release of CanIt 7.0.7.

New features in CanIt 7.0.7:

1. CanIt can now be configured to create an incident for all e-mail messages, even non-spam ones.

2. The default notification format has been changed to "HTML with Links" instead of "Clickable Webform". The "HTML with Links" format has superior compatibility with most email clients.

3. A button has been added to the Preferences : Notification page that allows a user to request an immediate notification.

4. A "tag" field has been added to the Master RBL List. This tag (if present) is used in log messages rather than the long RBL name.

In addition to the new features, major efforts were undertaken to prepare CanIt to work properly with forthcoming release of PostgreSQL 9.0.0.

CanIt 7.0.7 is available as:

* CanIt-PRO, an anti-spam software solution suitable for small and medium business
* CanIt-Domain-PRO , spam filtering software for MSPs to host anti-spam for their customers.

Leading anti-spam vendor makes IPv6 reputation list available to Universities and ISPs running IPv6 based mail servers

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/16/2010 -- Roaring Penguin offers a DNS-based IPv6 Reputation List to qualified institutions running IPv6 based mail servers. As IPv6 adoption increases, inevitably spammers will begin transmitting spam via IPv6. Roaring Penguin's anti-spam products have been IPv6-ready since August 2009 and have been collecting IPv6 reputation data for many months. Roaring Penguin's President David Skoll remarked, "We are seeing IPv6 spam and signs of IPv6 botnets in the wild; any organization wishing to deploy IPv6 needs an IPv6-ready email security system."

Roaring Penguin Software's CanIt line of anti-spam solutions includes support for IPv6. It can accept and deliver mail via SMTP over IPv6 and perform rule lookups against IPv6 addresses and networks. In addition, all CanIt components can use IPv6 for intra-cluster communication.

David Skoll says, "The number of mail servers running IPv4 far exceeds the number running IPv6. For this reason, the IPv6 block list contains only a few hundred entries compared to over ten million in our IPv4 reputation list. Roaring Penguin expects the adoption of IPv6 to proceed at an ever accelerating rate as we exhaust the available IPv4 addresses. Our IPv6 list will automatically grow as IPv6 is more widely deployed."

IPv6 will become a "must-adopt" technology within Roaring Penguin's key client base of Universities, ISPs and MSPs. Hurricane Electric of Fremont California estimates that in less than 450 days we will have exhausted the available IPv4 central registry Internet addresses. A countdown counter is available at http://ipv6.he.net/statistics/.

About IPv6
IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4").

IPv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4, such as the limited number of available IPv4 addresses. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration. IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years during a transition period.

Roaring Penguin Software upgrades their CanIt line of anti-spam software for ISPs, Web Hosts, Universities, and Managed Services Providers.

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2010 -- The fight against spam just got easier as Roaring Penguin Software Inc., makers of the acclaimed CanIt-PRO, CanIt-Domain-PRO and Hosted CanIt anti-spam solutions, announced the release of CanIt 7.0.

Major new features in CanIt 7.0:

1. Outbound Rate Limiting
CanIt can automatically block senders who send too many messages per hour. This allows system administrators to protect the reputation of their networks from compromised computers spewing spam. When a sender's outbound e-mail volume exceeds the hourly rate limit, the sender is stopped from sending any more e-mail and notifications are automatically sent to the email administrator.

2. CanIt-Reputation Block List
The CanIt Reputation List collects IP reputation data from a worldwide network of sensors. Roaring Penguin aggregates this data into four DNS-based block lists:

Spam Source: A list of IP addresses that have sent mostly spam and very little non-spam.
Dictionary Attackers: A list of IP addresses that have sent to many nonexistent recipients and very few valid recipients.
Greylist Stumblers: A list of IP addresses that have been thwarted by greylisting. Such machines are typically compromised personal computers.
Good: A list of IP addresses that have passed greylisting, have sent to very few nonexistent recipients, and have sent mostly non-spam. These machines are very likely legitimate mail servers.

3. Multiple Hierarchical levels of Administrative Control
CanIt-Domain-PRO permits arbitrary levels of administrative control. For example, an installation administrator has overall control. He or she can delegate control over sets of domains to a regional administrator, who in turn can delegate control over some domains to site administrators. Finally, site administrators can delegate control over individual quarantines and settings to end-users.

CanIt 7.0 is available as:

CanIt-PRO, an anti-spam / anti-virus appliance or a soft appliance.
CanIt-Domain-PRO , a version allowing MSPs to host anti-spam for their customers.
Hosted CanIt, a fully outsourced anti-spam solution.

Roaring Penguin Software provides an introductory overview to how e-mail works

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2010 -- Roaring Penguin Software Inc., makers of the acclaimed CanIt line of anti-spam solutions, announced that they have released a White Paper entitled, E-mail 101.

The concept of e-mail is almost as old as the Internet. The first e-mail programs were created for ARPANET in the late sixties / early seventies. E-mail was created in simpler times when everyone on the network was trustworthy. Even knowing what we know today with regards to spammers we still tend to take e-mail for granted and trust it far more than it deserves. This article takes a look at the components of the e-mail system. After reading it you will understand how e-mail moves on the Internet and how to interpret e-mail message headers. The Simple Message Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and the Domain Name System (DNS) are covered in detail:

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is the protocol used to deliver email on the Internet. SMTP is quite old; it was first standardized in 1982 in RFC 821. SMPTP is the most prevalent protocol in e-mail delivery. It provides no authentication and any aspect of an email message can be spoofed.

The Domain Name System (DNS) provides a distributed database for converting names to IP addresses. It uses caching to improve performance. There are different types of DNS records; two that control mail delivery are the Mail Exchange (MX) and Address (A) records. The MX record names hosts that will accept mail for a specific domain, and A records provide the IP addresses of named hosts.

Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2009 -- "Our Mission is to create collaboration solutions that help employees work better – together." That's practically the company mantra at Symfoni Software and it is clearly spelled out on the company website. Of course, to stay on top as the Nordic region's largest IBM-based software company, collaboration is key, and that's exactly what they specialize in.

Founded in Norway, Symfoni Software AS has divisions located in Denmark and Sweden as well. The company serves over 700 large business and corporate clients representing over 400,000 individual end users. They provide software solutions that allow companies to do everything from run Global Calendars to know the who, what, where and when of what is going on throughout a company; their website design software Symfoni CMS makes it easy for all of a company's users to create, edit and publish online documentation. There are even tools to help deal with everyday minutia such as Symfoni Absence which helps organizations track, monitor, and correct potentially costly absenteeism.

Svein-Erik Henriksen has been the IT Manager in charge of Operational Services for Business customers since 2004. Spam is one of the issues that falls under his purview and it was becoming more of a problem as Symfoni geared up to upgrade its servers. Svein-Erik explains, "Over the years, we had used various anti-Spam products with Spam Assassin being the most recent. However, it was becoming too demanding to update, and associated costs were climbing."

With increasing amounts of valuable support time spent keeping their solution up-to-date, and with constant setting changes to suit individual clients' needs, Svein-Erik and his team knew they had to make a change.

Solutions that work better – together – from Anywhere and Everywhere

As the Symfoni IT team searched for a Spam solution that would be cost-effective yet keep their clientele happy, a friend working at a University in the United States told Svein-Erik he should check out Roaring Penguin Software's line of CanIt anti-Spam solutions. Svein-Erik continues, "I downloaded the free (CanIt-Domain-PRO) demo from the Roaring Penguin website and tested it internally and on select email domains. After two weeks, I was convinced."

Immediately after signing up with Roaring Penguin, Symfoni began a full roll-out of CanIt-Domain-PRO.

When it comes to Spam, CanIt-Domain-PRO allows the end user to conduct the Symfoni...

Currently, about 75 of Symfoni's customers are using the CanIt Spam trap, representing over 16,000 individual email accounts. Symfoni is also using Roaring Penguin's product internally. "Customers are enjoying the chance to create their own settings and preferences, release mail, monitor greylists, etc." The ease of use, which originates with the branded login screen (see below) allows the customers to feel a sense of ease as they know they are getting the emails they should be getting and spending a lot less time with ones that should have been blocked. This in turn frees up Symfoni's IT staff to easily get CanIt generated reports and statistics which they can share with clientele. Svein-Erik sums it up nicely, "Finding out about and using CanIt-Domain-PRO has been a great success for us and for our customers."

In addition, with CanIt and GroundWork Monitor solution providers can take advantage of three streams of added revenue. They can generate incremental revenue with each new mail server they sell, as well as participate in the ongoing support revenue for the software and the ongoing revenue that they charge for monitoring the anti-spam appliances.

"The reliability of email communications infrastructure is vital to all business operations. Monitoring the health of the network is a core component of our Channel Partners services," said Tara Spalding, Vice President of Marketing at GroundWork Open Source. "Roaring Penguin Software is a leader in Linux-based anti-spam solutions and we are pleased to team with them to offer a world class solution that allows our partners to proactively monitor and manage clients' anti-spam appliances."

Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/29/2006 -- The fight against spam just got easier today in California.

"Spam is a plague to ISPs and we have noticed an upsurge as spammers changed tactics recently and tried image based spam. CanIt-PRO caught the deluge without any problems," said Esser.

CanIt-PRO is available as a software download, a soft appliance, or as a pre-configured plug-and-play appliance.

The company spent the better part of a year searching for the right anti-spam solution.

Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/10/2006 -- As a provider of "One Stop Shopping" for Corporate and Small Business clientele nationwide, New York City's Transbeam offers everything from high-speed DSL and T1 Connections to Long Distance and VoIP telephone services. Although they were originally using Roaring Penguin's MIMEDefang anti-spam product, they were wooed to another product. As Transbeam's Server Administrator, John Dudley explains, it wasn't long before things were going downhill. "The new spam filter couldn't handle the load of email. It slowed down, then finally stopped working altogether."

"It was definitely a priority on the 'To Do' list." Says Avi Nebel, Executive Vice President and Director at Transbeam. The company spent the better part of a year searching for the right solution. "We spent an endless amount of hours in engineering meetings trying to come up with something solid. We spent so much time debating, testing, and even purchasing various products before we arrived at the CanIt solution."

OK, They're Impressed!

After using other products, all of which came up short, Transbeam decided to try CanIt internally and as Dudley explains, it was an eye opener. "People were immediately impressed with the simple and easy to use GUI."

Next they tested CanIt on several client domains. The results were positive and before long they were rolling it out to all their clients. Nebel notes, "It was a major uphill battle trying to find the right solution that gave the clients what they wanted and the control they needed. If clients are getting lots of spam they assume it is because the service we're providing isn't up to snuff, when in actuality it was the anti-spam software that was less than adequate."

Low Profile, and Low Maintenance Equal High Satisfaction

Dudley and his team run CanIt-PRO on Dell servers running the Fedora Core 4 OS. Customers have control of their filters through the CanIt login screen which Transbeam has chosen to brand and modify slightly. Dudley also enjoys the low maintenance of the product. "It basically just takes a few minutes every other week."

As well as utilizing CanIt's anti-spam capabilities, Transbeam also utilizes the anti-virus as a backup to their existing anti-virus solution.

Nebel sums up Transbeam's experience with CanIt nicely, "The most important thing is that CanIt just doesn't crash! It performs better than programs that cost triple."

Stay Branded

Transbeam has kept the CanIt-Pro login screen but branded it to match the colors and style of their organization and web presence.

Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/24/2006 -- Specializing in 'Total Solutions Hosting' Apollo Hosting provides everything their customers need to build, sell and market their websites. Their web servers were processing over half a million unsolicited spam emails on a daily basis. Apollo's Vice President of Operations, Don McLeman was I.T. Manager at the time and oversaw the switch to CanIt-PRO. "We were fairly happy with our anti-spam filter at the time, but they wanted to renegotiate the contract," McLeman explains, "this would have been expensive for us and bad for our clients."

The hunt was on for another Spam Filter provider. McLeman jokes that "One of our techs brought up Roaring Penguin's CanIt as a possible solution to our problem at the time, but the way he described it didn't make it sound like the solution we were looking for." Apollo went with another provider and quickly found that it required too much effort. "...these products were good, but required constant checking, and changing of settings to meet customer demands."

The "Goldilocks Solution" ...

Having tried products that were too expensive or too complex, Apollo was shy about trying a third; but they knew they needed an anti-spam solution. The decision to search for a third solution was prompted after Customer complaints and a systems failure.

When the President Says "CanIt" , you CanIt!

The implementation of CanIt at Apollo Hosting began when company President, Tamara Field saw CanIt in action for another company and decided to have another look at CanIt. From there it was smooth sailing.

McLeman explains that they took full advantage of the 30 day trial period. "Once Roaring Penguin's CanIt was running on our own systems we realized it was definitely the right choice.... Before (switching to CanIt), 50% - 70% of my staffs' time was spent getting servers Whitelisted, etc., (and) handling Customer complaints in regards to spam. 1.4 to 1.8 million messages a day are filtered. With a success rate of 97%, (CanIt-PRO is) far superior to our old product."

The move was made to deploy CanIt across the board, providing customers around the world with the most user friendly and cost effective anti-spam filter Apollo Hosting has used. "At first people were miffed about the switch from another product to CanIt-PRO," says McLeman, "but now I rarely, if ever, hear anything negative."

Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold, Just Right!

McLeman chose to run CanIt-PRO on Redhat Linux servers. On the client side CanIt runs as part of Apollo's MailBoxCop spam and virus filter. Clients get MailBoxCop for a small fee and it applies to all email addresses in each domain.

McLeman also appreciates the fact that there is not much tinkering required, "Customers pretty much make all the changes they need to." Of course, Apollo Hosting has some basic anti-spam settings in place across the board, but the browser accessible control panel allows individual users to make their own settings.

Preserve Your Brand Integrity

Apollo Hosting was able to theme their implementation of CanIt-PRO to match their corporate branding and colors. Branded as Mailbox Cop, a simple web page provides a basic overview of the features available to the user and more complete user documentation is available online as a PDF.

Roaring Penguin Software Launches CanIt-Domain-PRO to provide Web Hosts, ISPs, Universities and Government Departments a way to manage multiple anti-spam networks.

Ottawa, ON, Canada -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/19/2006 -- The fight against spam just got easier today for ISPs, Web Hosts, Universities and anyone who manages multiple domains. Roaring Penguin Software Inc., makers of the acclaimed CanIt-PRO anti-spam solution, announced the release of CanIt-Domain-PRO – an anti-spam solution designed specifically for organizations managing multiple domains.

CanIt-Domain-PRO enables delegation of administrative duties. The overall administrator is able to create "realms", and realm administrators will be able to create baseline rules, users and streams within their realms.

"We've found that some companies have complex e-mail needs spanning multiple domains," explains David Skoll, Roaring Penguin's president and CEO. "These sites are often found in Universities and Government environments where each department often had their own domains. In the ISP world, the merger activity has brought multiple domains under one roof. Web Hosts can host thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Domains. Until now, no anti-spam tool has been flexible enough to simplify the management of multiple domains and allow a super system administrator to delegate system administration rights which in turn allows the designated system administrator to offer per-user or per-group filtering."

CanIt-Domain-PRO is available as a software download, a soft appliance, or as a pre-configured plug-and-play appliance.
