Chicago-Area Hospital Selects Sendio to Kill Spam

Central DuPage Health reports 100% eradication of unwanted emails

IRVINE, Calif. - October 31, 2006 - Sendio (sendio.com), which provides the only enterprise-level anti-spam solution that uses Sender Address Verification (SAV) to eliminate unwanted emails, today announced that Central DuPage Health, a major hospital in suburban Chicago, has implemented its I.C.E. Box to eliminate 100% of unwanted emails sent to more than 4500 users. According to the hospital’s IT director, Glen Malan, “The amount of spam that 4500 accounts receive each day is astronomical. We also had the added problem of dealing with spam without blocking legitimate email. For example, we were concerned that filters would not be able to differentiate between fake ‘Viagra’ emails and valid messages with ‘Viagra’ in the subject. Sendio gave us back our email. The inflow of spam email to hospital employees and medical professionals has dropped to an undetectable level.”

Most corporate anti-spam solutions rely on filters and algorithms that miss large numbers of unwanted emails - while mistakenly characterizing useful messages as spam. The Sendio I.C.E. Box (Intercept, Confirm or Eliminate), which seamlessly integrates with all enterprise messaging platforms, is capable of processing millions of messages a day per server and is the only enterprise-level tool that uses Sender Address Verification (SAV), which empowers users to accept messages based on who sent them.

“One of the fundamental flaws of spam filters is false positives - legitimate emails that are blocked because they contain a ‘trigger’ word,” says Sendio CEO Kelly Anderson, a Nortel veteran who joined the company earlier this month. “Our solution gives medical professionals the ability to do their jobs effectively without the fear of having their emails deleted. Sendio is succeeding in the marketplace because we deliver what filters and other anti-spam solutions cannot: the ability to eliminate unwanted emails while preventing legitimate emails from being routed to a trashcan.”
