brightmail inc. was a san francisco-based technology company focused on anti-spam filtering .

brightmail 's system has a three-pronged approach to stopping spam , the probe network is a massive number of e-mail addresses established for the sole purpose of receiving spam .

the brightmail logistics and operations center ( bloc ) evaluates newly detected spam and issues rules for isps .

the third approach is the spam wall , a filtering engine that identifies and screens out spam based on the updates from the bloc .

brightmail had partnerships with major email providers and isps including netscape , sendmail , hotmail and software.com .

other partners include at&t worldnet service , concentric network , earthlink , excite , fastnet , flashnet , juno online services and usa.net .

the antivirus-inspired regular update mechanism used to detect spam email attracted the attention of internet security software makers and brightmail was acquired by symantec in 2004 .

the brightmail name continued to be used by symantec , and the slogan powered by brightmail appeared on their products until 2011 when most products were renamed or deprecated into what is known as symantec messaging gateway ( smg ) .

symantec brightmail offers only two distinguishable services , spam and virus . however , symantec brightmail supports the concept of “group policies , ” enabling different actions for different users based on the same verdict . see the symantec brightmail antispam documentation for more information . symantec brightmail also provides “content - filtering” service , but this functionality is provided using sieve , so there is no added value to have symantec brightmail do the sieve filtering .
the symantec brightmail software can be located on the same system as the mta , or it can be on a separate host . in fact , you can have a farm of symantec brightmail servers serving one or more mtas . the symantec brightmail sdk uses the bmiconfig _ client . xml file to determine which symantec brightmail servers to use .
for a list of available opt - in strings , please contact your brightmail representative .
in addition to brightmail anti - virus , symantec would acquire brightmail reputation service , which blocks messages from identified spam sources , and brightmail anti - fraud , which blocks fraudulent e - mails that mimic legitimate communications in order to steal financial and personal data .
an organization deploys the symantec brightmail software at its site . symantec has email probes set around the internet for detection of new spam . symantec technicians create custom rules to block this spam in realtime . these rules are downloaded to symantec brightmail servers , also in realtime . the symantec brightmail database is updated and the symantec brightmail server runs this database filter against the email for the specified users or domains .
it was unclear how the acquisition would impact solution providers in brightmail ' s extensive channel program , but officials at symantec said that resellers currently selling brightmail solutions would be ' welcomed ' into the symantec channel .

brightmail anti - virus™ already combines symantec ' s award - winning antivirus technology with brightmail ' s high - performance , scalable architecture . by stopping and cleaning infected messages at the internet gateway , brightmail anti - virus is the solution for the world ' s largest service providers to protect their networks and end - users from the threat of email - borne viruses .
symantec invested an undisclosed amount in brightmail in july 2000 and holds an equity stake of approximately 11 percent . according to a recent report from it think tank gartner , brightmail is one of the four
leaders
in the antispam market today .
symantec made a strategic investment in brightmail in july 2000 and now holds about an 11 % stake in the company . according to a statement , brightmail ' s board determined an acquisition by symantec would be
a more favorable strategic alternative .

at brightmail , officials were equally excited about the acquisition , and about reaping the benefits of integrating their product with a larger platform .
the messaging server mta passes an optin variable to the symantec brightmail server . if a destinationspamfilter n optin optin - value or sourcespamfilter n optin optin - value marking is placed on a relevant channel in the imta . cnf file , or if a domain or user has the appropriate ldap attribute set to some string ( optin - value ) , then that optin - value is passed as the value of the optin variable to brightmail . if you enable the brightmail client - side optin , and the optin value is not set , the brightmail default is null , which means that emails are not going to be filtered with any symantec brightmail services ( spam or virus ) .
when symantec security response receives spam from email probes , operators immediately create appropriate spam filtering rules , which are downloaded to symantec brightmail customer machines . similarly , symantec security response sends realtime virus rules . these rules are used by customer’s symantec brightmail servers to catch spam and viruses .
because spam and virus filtering involve significant work , adding symantec brightmail server ( configured to perform both spam and virus filtering ) to an existing messaging server host serving as an mta can , due to the additional work performed , reduce overall message throughput on that host by as much as 50 percent . to allow symantec brightmail to perform its valuable work without reducing overall message throughput , a rule of thumb might be to add two dedicated symantec brightmail servers for each mta , so that the symantec brightmail servers can “keep up” with the usual mta message throughput .

felman said .
it ' s amazing that [ brightmail ] went this route so close to going public , but with the two technologies as part of the same suite , [ symantec and brightmail ] should be able to protect everybody .
another advantage for brightmail in the deal , he said , is that while the enterprise antispam marketplace has finite potential on its own , brightmail can now be seen with symantec as a player in the larger and more lucrative overall messaging security market .
this lets brightmail move into a much larger messaging security space ,
mahowald said .
customers are not going to be as enchanted with point antispam solutions as they [ will be ] with larger strategic messaging products .

specifics on how symantec would incorporate brightmail solutions were sketchy , but officials from both firms said in a conference call that these details would become clearer over the next few weeks .
questions to address now include how well will symantec integrate brightmail . in fact this seems to be the least of symatec ' s worries as the two companies have been doing business for the last 4 years and symantec already has a 11 % stake on the company . this has been one of the main factors considered by symantec to target brightmail and we expect a smooth transition .

the acquisition of antispam vendor brightmail inc . by security and utility software vendor symantec corp . is being viewed by a sampling of industry analysts and competitors as a good move in the marketplace that will benefit enterprise it users .
[ brightmail anti - fraud ] fits with some of the systems that symantec already has put in place ,
salem said .
it is a good match , and the beauty is that we are already integrated .
brightmail ' s corporate customers include ebay , deutsche bank , cisco systems and bechtel . it also provides spam protection to major internet service providers , including at & t worldnet , cox communications , earthlink , msn and verizon online .

provides additional resources for users such as a sender ip address lookup , blog posts from the brightmail operations team , and links to discussion forums and research reports including the monthly state of spam report . the march report was issued by symantec today .
we think that symantec has landed a company with proven technology and a leading positioning in the enterprise anti - spam market . this could also be seen as an effort of symantec of strengthening its positioning in the enterprise market and an opportunity to tap into some of brightmail ' s accounts . however , we believe that symantec will overpay ( in case the transaction is finally completed ) for brightmail as its current revenues do not justify such a high price tag ( $ 370 million in cash ) .

rebecca wetteman , an analyst at nucleus research in wellesley , mass . , said the deal also makes sense because the two companies have had a relationship since 2000 , when cupertino , calif . - based symantec bought an 11 % equity stake in san francisco - based brightmail .

symantec already works with brightmail from an integration perspective , so this should be a pretty reasonable move from an internal perspective for them to work together more closely ,
wetteman said . she predicted continued consolidation in the marketplace , because an
integrated approach to spam and the entire e - mail security [ issue ] makes sense .
expanded support for virtual appliances : brightmail gateway 8 . 0 virtual edition allows customers to adaptively provision messaging security resources to respond to spam attacks and periodic threat waves while maximizing utilization of it resources . version 8 . 0 adds support for vmware esxi , in addition to vmware esx , as well as support for mixed physical and virtual deployments .
leveraging brightmail 8 virtual edition gives us the choice of quickly and incrementally scaling our messaging security infrastructure ,
said conrad maiorino , director of network services and architecture at six flags , inc .
changes to our messaging security setup can happen without the hassle of making physical infrastructure configurations and we benefit further from the resource utilization benefits of virtualization .
david daniels , an analyst at jupiter research in new york , said that by bringing together messaging security technologies from symantec and brightmail , the installation and upkeep of the systems will be easier for it staffs .
when you think of the maintenance of these products , you have to update them and can now do it at once , making it easier for the installed base ,
daniels said .
spam has increasingly become one of the most severe threats to individuals and enterprises today , topping viruses as the number one problem plaguing email systems and administrators ,
said john w . thompson , symantec chairman and chief executive officer .
brightmail is the leader in helping enterprises , service providers , and wireless carriers mitigate this threat . their patented technology is a critical component of a comprehensive gateway security solution .
with brightmail in the fold % 85 we ' re talking about a messaging gateway that would deliver integrated security solutions that nobody else delivers today ,
cullen said during a conference call wednesday evening .
what we ' re saying is that we ' re going to give our partners a much more valuable solution to take to market than they could have done previously . it will be a great calling card .
we ' ve built a complete spam defense offering that includes multiple technologies such as proactive heuristic and reputation - based blocking for the most robust , multi - layered defense , providing the highest accuracy rating in the industry ,
said enrique salem , brightmail president and chief executive officer .
by joining forces with symantec , we can provide our combined base of customers around the world with the broadest messaging security solution in the industry .
symantec brightmail requirements are as follows : windows® • microsoft windows 2000 server or windows server™ 2003 • intel® pentium® 4 processor or higher • 1024 mb ram minimum • 250 mb available space solaris™ • sun™ solaris 9 or 10 • ultrasparc processor • 1024 mb ram minimum • 250 mb available space linux • red hat linux es / as 3 . 0 or 4 . 0 • intel pentium 4 processor or higher • 1024 mb ram minimum • 250 mb available space
tom gillis , vice president of worldwide marketing at antispam appliance vendor ironport systems inc . in san bruno , calif . , said the deal will also likely help his company , which already uses brightmail software on a majority of its gateway appliances .
it will potentially bring ironport closer to symantec , which is good for us ,
he said .
with the resources symantec brings to the table , this will make them the obvious leader in the market .

computer - security software maker symantec corp . has ousted chief executive officer enrique salem and passed the reins to chairman steve bennett , saying the company wasn ' t performing well enough .
bennett , former ceo of intuit inc . , also will take the role of president while remaining chairman of the mountain view company , symantec said wednesday .
the move wasn ' t triggered by a specific event or any impropriety , said dan schulman , the company ' s new lead director .
symantec shares jumped 17 percent early wednesday , the biggest intraday gain in more than a decade , before closing at $ 14 . 96 , up 13 . 5 percent .
bennett is known for driving operational progress and focused product delivery ,
said brian freed , an analyst at wunderlich securities inc . who has a buy recommendation on the stock .
the combination of consistent execution and operational discipline is exactly the order symantec needed .
symantec shares had declined 16 percent this year amid slowing sales and shrinking profit . the company , best - known for its antivirus programs , also has been struggling to expand in the storage market , which is led by ibm corp . and emc corp .
symantec ' s push into data storage through the $ 10 . 2 billion purchase of veritas software corp . in 2005 was increasingly viewed as a mistake .
my view is that symantec ' s assets are strong , and yet the company is underperforming against the opportunity ,
bennett , 58 , said in a statement tuesday .
i ' m looking forward to working with the team to build upon the significant assets in place to help symantec accelerate value creation for all of its stakeholders .
the company also delivered its quarterly results and forecast wednesday , moving up its release . profit excluding some costs will be 35 cents to 39 cents per share in the fiscal second quarter , symantec said . analysts had estimated 40 cents on average , according to data compiled by bloomberg . sales will be $ 1 . 64 billion to $ 1 . 67 billion in the period , which ends sept . 28 , symantec said . analysts had predicted $ 1 . 69 billion .
first - quarter net income attributable to symantec shareholders fell about 10 percent to $ 172 million ( 24 cents per share ) from $ 191 million ( 25 cents ) a year earlier . revenue climbed 1 percent to $ 1 . 67 billion in the period , which ended june 29 .
salem , 46 , worked at symantec for 19 years , the last three as ceo . bennett , meanwhile , joined the board in 2011 following a career at intuit , general electric co . and other companies .
he served as intuit ceo from 2000 to 2007 , using a customer - driven approach to expand sales to $ 2 . 7 billion from less than $ 1 billion , symantec said .
symantec and rival mcafee , now a part of intel corp . , have struggled with slow growth in the antivirus market , said steve ashley , an analyst with robert w . baird & co .
a rise in hacking attacks has benefited smaller companies that focus on specific niches , such as stopping espionage , trade - secret theft and other sophisticated crimes against businesses , ashley said .

in contrast to how spam - scanning with spamassassin is implemented in exiscan - acl , bmi is more suited for per - recipient scanning of messages . however , each message is scanned only once , but multiple
verdicts
for multiple recipients can be returned from the bmi server . the exiscan implementation passes the message to the bmi server just before accepting it . it then adds the retrieved verdicts to the messages header file in the spool . these verdicts can then be queried in routers , where operation is per - recipient instead of per - message . to use bmi , you need to take the following steps :
