Sirana SpamCenter :: What's New

Sirana SpamCenter 2.0 is the newest version of Sirana's end-user spam management solution. When used in conjunction with spam filtering programs like the Exchange Intelligent Message Filter, SpamCenter provides a complete, user-administered anti-spam system designed for easy, low-cost deployment and use.

Here are just a few of the new features found in this release:

• AJAX Support: Most pages in SpamCenter have AJAX support, which allows postbacks from the browser to the web server to happen quickly and transparently without any browser "flicker". Users will say this makes SpamCenter seem faster, more responsive and more like a desktop application.
• Sites: Sites allow SpamCenter administrators to partition their SpamCenter environment, allowing different user policies and administrators for each site. Sites can also have different authentication methods and sources.
• Enhanced Security Roles: SpamCenter offers three roles for a variety of user capabilities. One role, the Reviewer, allows users to maintain other quarantines without having any administrative access to system settings.
• Customizable My SpamCenter Today pages: Users can build personalized My SpamCenter Today pages by adding and rearranging WebParts on a page. Administrators can pre-build shared My SpamCenter Today pages for their user communities. Administrators can also customize their own My SpamCenter Admin Today page by adding administrative WebParts.
• SpamCenter Authentication Option: In addition to Active Directory authentication, administrators can allow users to authenticate against a local database. This allows administrators to deploy SpamCenter in locations where access to Active Directory may not be available.
• Site Images: Organizations can brand the pages that users see and the notification messages with custom logos. These logos can be associated with sites, allowing high levels of customization.
• Enhanced Reports: SpamCenter's reports have improved graph rendering that makes more attractive reports. In addition, the tables have clickable links to help administrators manage their system with little effort.
• All Mailbox View: Administrators have a view of all of the mailboxes in their site that allows them to edit mailbox settings, or view the content of a mailbox's quarantine.
• All Blocked Messages View: Administrators can view all of the blocked messages for a site, and can sort and group the view by mailbox or other field.
• Support for other Anti-Spam Engines: SpamCenter supports multiple anti-spam engines in addition to Microsoft's IMF. SpamCenter has been tested against Symantec's Brightmail, and can support other engines that place blocked messages into a directory-based archive. By supporting multiple anti-spam engines, administrators can provide users with a single interface to manage their spam quarantines that works across multiple products.
• Cross-browser, cross-platform compatibility: SpamCenter will work with Internet Explorer, and Firefox on Windows, the Mac and Linux. Partial support for Safari and other browsers is available.
• ASP.NET 2.0: SpamCenter was re-written to take advantage of the newest version of Microsoft's ASP.NET library. This allows SpamCenter to take advantage of all of ASP.NET's new capabilities, like authentication.
