What really makes the difference

There are some elements that distinguish the Axigen Identity Confirmation (c) from other implementations of Challenge / Response processes, such as:

• The “Unconfirmed Messages” folder – where all the received, yet unconfirmed, messages are permanently stored. The unconfirmed emails are available for inspection at anytime, with easy access, without them crowding the Inbox.
• The “Collected Addresses” contact folder (part of the Address Book) – where all the confirmed senders are automatically added.
• Configurable validation code – at the user’s disposal to change whenever they want to.
• The number of days to be skipped when sending the confirmation request to a sender – easy configuration according to the user’s preference.

Moreover, as a Challenge / Response spam-blocking system embodied by a messaging solution, Axigen Identity Confirmation (c) brings other major upsides to the table:

• It implies Address Book correlation, which means no effort put into importing or exporting contacts, and also that any change or update performed Safe Senders list-wise automatically synchronizes with the C/R filter in place.
• Being conceived as complementary to other anti-spam technology brings the efficiency of a perfectly coherent extra-layer of security, to result in one of the most extensive security mixes on the market.

So, what really makes Identity Confirmation different in comparison to all other Challenge / Response systems available is the fact that it is already embedded within the messaging solution, with all of the advantages that this incorporation brings, making up a coherent, hassle-free and comprehensive security package.

Final thoughts

With this built-in Challenge / Response system, every email received by an Axigen user (who has enabled their Identity Confirmation filter), from anyone who isn’t on their Safe Senders list, gets a very easy to fulfill authenticity confirmation request. Messages that pass this challenge, namely those originating with real senders, are delivered to their Inbox. Those that don’t, including nearly all spam, aren’t. This makes for a very efficient anti-spam method.

And here’s the twist: taking into consideration all the advantages brought by such a C/R filter already embedded in the email solution (from the hassle-free Address Book correlation, to its complementary integration with an extensive range of other anti-spam tools), the fact is that Identity Confirmation is, quite simply put, one of the best implementations of Challenge / Response anti-spam filtering out there today.

When adding this to the fact that Axigen Mail Server is the only messaging solution that has augmented their security arsenal to make a Challenge / Response filter effortlessly available, the Identity Confirmation system comes as the perfect extra-layer completing an outstanding security mix, the most extensive currently available.
