Most corporate anti-spam products rely on filters to separate legitimate messages from unwanted email messages - unfortunately, they miss large numbers of unwanted emails (including spam and messages containing viruses while mistakenly characterizing useful messages as "false positives." Sendio builds a box that kills unwanted emails with Sender Address Verification, which empowers users by transparently accepting messages based on who sent them, rather than relying on filters to reject unwanted messages.

Workflow
The I.C.E. Box is a sophisticated state machine that implements a highly configurable workflow engine. On both the inbound and outbound path the Administrator can configure specific policy and system behavior for each stage in the workflow.

Sender Check
The system does a series of tests using the Domain Name Service (DNS) and other mechanisms to identify and classify the original sender of a message.

Recipient Check
The system verifies that the intended recipients of a message have accounts on the target email server.

SilverListing
The system uses a series of low-level SMTP tests to determine the validity of the sending email server.

Anti-Virus / "Malware"
The system scans all messages to ensure that they do not contain viruses, trojans, bots or other "malware".

Corporate Policy
The system implements policies for handling large messages, those with "untrusted" attachments, or with an excessive number of recipients

Standards Policy
Messages are checked against industry standards for sender authentication, such as DKIM and SPF.

Contacts Check / SAV
Messages are checked against both system and individual user Accept-Lists, Hold-Lists and Drop-Lists, and may be processed using Sender Address Verification (SAV).
