New features include TLS Encryption, SSL Certificate Import and BusinessBuddy.

SECNAP Network Security Corporation, a provider of network and email security solutions, today announced several new additions to its award-winning Email Security Gateway powered by SpammerTrap. Continuing its approach to technological enhancements, the company claims that the new features add convenience for both system administrators and end-users while speeding mail filtering and delivery.

The company articulates that outbound and inbound email encryption has been added to support Transport Layer Security during the SMTP session. The encryption process is invisible to users and their recipients, and requires only that the recipient email server be TLS-compatible. Mailbox Based Routing is useful for clients with multiple servers, enabling all to route email based on domain name. BusinessBuddy provides users an automatic whitelist function to ensure uninterrupted email communications. Because user email addresses can acquire a "bad reputation" over time, their email may be blocked by an intended recipient's spam filter. The BusinessBuddy whitelist creates sender and recipient pairs, so that when a user sends an email the recipient address is automatically saved to their whitelist. The recipient reply is then less likely to be bounced as spam, despite reputation issues.

It further explains that other SpammerTrap enhancements include a backscatter administration page that allows administrators to specify which email servers will be entrusted to send bounces, thereby preventing backscatter (volumes of bounces from forged email addresses) from affecting the client network, and SSL Certificate import, which enables administrators to generate a Secure Server Certificate via CSR instead of using self-signed certificates that include their public keys.
