FirstAlert! overview

Top  Previous  Next

FirstAlert! is a database of reported junk mail messages that can be used by individuals and businesses to eliminate future circulation of junk mail. FirstAlert! makes use of the global community of MailWasher Server and MailWasher Pro users to easily and actively report junk mail to a central database.

FirstAlert! administrators verify the junk mail and add it to the database, creating a unique digital fingerprint for each junk mail message. MailWasher Server and MailWasher Pro users interact with the database in real-time, which means that any junk mail messages in the users email that match a digital fingerprint are eliminated. No other FirstAlert! subscriber should ever receive the same junk mail.

FirstAlert! is a managed service provided by Firetrust. For more information about FirstAlert!, see http://www.firetrust.com/products/firstalert/.

This section allows you to configure how MailWasher Server connects to the FirstAlert! service, and what action should be taken by MailWasher Server when FirstAlert! indicates that an incoming message is junk mail.
