REDWOOD CITY Redwood City, city (1990 pop. 66,072), seat of San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1868. Manufactures include commmunications, electrical, electronic, and medical equipment. , Calif. -- Clearswift's award-winning email appliance line-up has won further praise in two "six-out-of-six" star reviews released this month by PC Pro and IT Pro.

The MIMEsweeper Email Appliance CS500, aimed at small and medium sized businesses, was described by PC Pro as "the one to beat for messaging security in the SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. " while the MIMEsweeper Email Appliance EN10, designed to service the needs of large enterprises, gets full marks from IT Pro which describes the MIMEsweeper appliance family as "standard setters for messaging security."

The enterprise-class EN10 Appliance, also awarded IT Pro Editor's Choice Award, is lauded for its wealth of features, reporting options and the easy to use management interface, but also the simple setup and quality hardware package.

"Clearswift's web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you.  interface sets it apart from the masses as it is extremely well designed and very easy to use. Each function has been separated into different Centers and the home page opens with easy access to each one and a quick status summary of the appliance," IT Pro says.

"Clearswift's filtering policies employs a combination of content rules and routes which tell the system what to look for, how suspect messages should be handled and who should be notified. Routes can be anything from an individual to all outbound and inbound messages. It's also worth noting that unlike many other messaging security products, Clearswift can scan inside message attachments such as PDFs and Office documents.

 together from obsolete components but Clearswift gets a pat on the back for its choice of hardware platform."

Praise for the CS500 is similar from PC Pro, which awards the appliance with a PC Pro Recommended seal.

"For a number of years, Clearswift concentrated on providing message security software. But the company gave in to the allure of the appliance last year, with the result that its CS500 has been sitting pretty on the A List ever since. And for good reason too, as it delivers an unbeatable range of features at a sensible price," PC Pro says.

"Clearswift's anti-spam measures have always been tough, but they get beefed up even more with the addition of another service. This comes courtesy of Mail-Filters, which specializes in OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  solutions and functions as an extension of Clearswift's SpamLogic service.

"Reporting is another impressive feature. A raft of predefined reports are provided, which can be scheduled to run at regular intervals and the output emailed to selected users. We've yet to see anything at this level to challenge the CS500 for ease of use, value and features."
