Trap25 is an MX spam filter built wholly by 3DPixel.net and satisfies the needs of a company hosting their own email servers.

What happens if your email server goes down? Mail routed through our spam processing servers will recognise the email server cannot accept emails, and will store the email for up to 7 days, intelligently attempting to resend the email. Once the server comes back online the email is delivered. Never lose important emails again!

To further enhance the effectiveness of our anti-spam systems, 3DPixel.net provides a simple install-and-forget program for your Exchange server. This will install a service that periodically sends a full list of the mailnames, redirects, mailgroups, aliases etc.. over a secure connection to our servers. No other information is transmitted. Any email that comes into our network that does not match any of those mailnames is blocked before our network even accepts the mail.

Currently used by thousands of mail users on our own hosting provision, Trap25 currently blocks upwards of 750,000 emails per week, learning all the time. 3DPixel.net constantly tweaks the scoring system, adding and removing rulesets all the time to maximise the effectiveness of the filter.

Using a many-low-score approach to spam filtering, 3DPixel.net massively reduces the risk of false positives. The system itself learns what is good and bad email and polarises scores of emails containing certain characteristics over a period of time. Thus far we have over 5 years of historical spam data.

Outside of the MX spam filter itself, Trap25 uses a combination of self-built recursive blocking techniques, RBL blacklists, custom patches into the mail system itself to recognise certain spammer traits.

Want to see the effectiveness of the filters? No problem. Trap25 will periodically email a report to a nominated contact outlining the scores, sending IPs / country, subjects, source and target for a particular domain.
