InBoxer to Remove More Than 99% of Spam

InBoxer, a new type of spam fighting software, was introduced today for Microsoft Outlook users seeking a junk email free Inbox, by Audiotrieve, a company founded by former executives from Dragon Systems, the one-time speech recognition and language technology industry leader. InBoxer uses a revolutionary process based on techniques used language technology products to identify and remove spam. Unlike traditional spam fighters, InBoxer continuously learns by example to reduce spam by more than 99 percent.

"Accuracy and ease-of-use are the most important features of any anti-spam filter," said Mark Ehr, Senior Analyst with Enterprise Management Associates, a technology analyst firm that specializes exclusively in management software and services. "InBoxer empowers Outlook users with state-of-the-art anti-spam technology, providing an extremely accurate and easy-to-use mechanism that ensures that they do not receive unwanted junk mail in their inboxes."

InBoxer outsmarts the spammers because it doesn't just block spam, it actively seeks good messages to place in the Inbox. The easy-to-use software learns from the messages in the user's mail folders and builds a personal email language model for each user.

"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said that he could not define pornography, but he added 'I know pornography when I see it,'" said Roger Matus, Audiotrieve's chief executive. "Spam is the same way. Traditional companies try to define it with rules and lists. But, that can never work for everyone. InBoxer learns by example from each user to build a more effective, yet easier to use, anti-spam filter."

InBoxer is so effective that it can learn the difference between an intimate note from your spouse and offensive mail from a bulk mailer. It can distinguish between an order acknowledgement and a sales message from the same company. The user may define trusted senders and companies. Should InBoxer make a mistake, one click corrects it. Messages are quarantined, not deleted.

"InBoxer virtually wiped out spam from my Inbox and let all of my important mail through. It worked much better than many of the other products that I had tried," said Mel Jackson, vice-president of strategic planning for Virtual Ink, a leader in the development of collaboration technologies.

A free InBoxer trial is now available from www.inboxer.com. The product is being offered at the web site for an introductory price of $24.95 through October 1. It has a list price of $ 29.95.
