Abaca Adds Massive Scalability to Next Generation Anti-Spam Solution

Carrier-Class Anti-Spam Solution 99.9% Effective in Every Major Language

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3 -- Abaca Technology Corporation, creator of the world's most effective spam filter, today announced an upgrade to its revolutionary Abaca® CLX Anti-Spam Solution(TM). This upgraded version delivers massive scalability to meet the throughput demands of the world's largest service providers.   Abaca's CLX Anti-Spam Solution achieves 99.98 percent spam catch rate globally with less than one false positive in 10,000 emails--the highest accuracy rate in the industry.  Abaca ReceiverNet(TM) technology is completely language-independent and is uniquely effective with double-byte characters.

Additionally, this latest release of the Abaca CLX Anti-Spam Solution now scales to 500 million users.   Flexible enough to fit into any service provider's infrastructure and supports a wide variety of system architectures, this highly scalable architecture assures a reliable and responsive end-user experience.

The Abaca ReceiverNet(TM) technology driving the Abaca CLX Anti-Spam Solution uses receiver reputations to filter spam, consistently blocking 99.9 percent of spam.   This crowd-sourced reputation information delivers instant and anonymous collaboration between all users of ReceiverNet.  The system learns and updates itself by tracking the ratio of spam versus legitimate email in real time for each Abaca protected email user. This precise mathematical approach makes spam detection even more accurate as email users join the Abaca ReceiverNet Network globally.  The Abaca solution requires very little ongoing management--just set it and forget it.

"Spammers are sending growing volumes of unwanted mail and, unfortunately, one sixth of users admit they have responded to spam at some point," said Steve Kirsch, Abaca Chairman. "Phishing and other mail-borne attacks are increasingly targeted and much more malicious. Providers must protect users from potentially costly mistakes and email messages that attempt to compromise identities, desktops and networks."

The Abaca CLX Anti-Spam Solution includes the Abaca ReceiverNet Service, a sophisticated email filter with multiple integration points. The solution is installed in the service provider's email stream, providing advanced protection against spam, viruses and phishing attacks.

  Benefits of the Abaca solution include:
  --  Reduces spam in any environment
  --  Filters mail effectively in all languages independent of content
  --  Lowers operational expenses of controlling spam
  --  Reduces customer support calls due to missing and misclassified
      messages.
  --  Integrates easily into any service provider network with simple
      interfaces
  --  Scales to protect from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of
      users
  --  Assures rapid user response and service availability
  --  Personalizes automatically with unique ratings for each end user
