Corvigo provides e-mail filtering Email filtering is the processing of e-mail to organize it according to specified criteria. Most often this refers to the automatic processing of incoming messages, but the term also applies to the intervention of human intelligence in addition to artificial intelligence, and to solutions based on its proprietary IBF technology. IBF technology uses Artificial Intelligence to determine the intent of information rather than relying on ineffective techniques such as, blacklists, white lists signatures, or rules. Distinguishing Corvigo's IBF technology from other solutions on the market, IBF acts like a human reader, examining each e-mail to see if it meets the criteria for spam, commercial bulk e-mail from valid advertisers, or legitimate messages. It then sends the legitimate e-mail on to user mailboxes, along with any commercial e-mail that a user wants to receive -- users can customize MailGate by identifying commercial e-mail they want to see for example, offers from a favorite retail store. Since IBF does not require constant updating or blacklist (1) A list of e-mail addresses of known spammers. See spam, spam filter, Blacklist of Internet Advertisers, greylisting and blackholing.

MailGate installs in just 15 minutes on any network and immediately begins filtering e-mail before it reaches the server. Since MailGate prevents spam from hitting the e-mail servers, this significantly improves server performance and bandwidth. "It is truly amazing a·maze v. a·mazed, a·maz·ing, a·maz·es v.tr. 1.
