1. Our two most requested spam filters, Cloudmark and Barracuda, have been added to Spam Filter Check, the Dashboard and Campaign Preview Alerts.

Cloudmark has become increasingly influential over the last several months and has proven to have a big impact on clients with large consumer lists. A partial list of ISPs using Cloudmark Authority are: Adelphia, Charter, Cox, Comcast, Earthlink, Swisscom, Tele2, Sprint/Nextel, Virgin Mobile, Bizanga and Critical Path.

Barracuda is the No. 1 most widely used spam filtering appliance used by more than 70,000 businesses in over 80 countries. This is a nice addition for our clients that are focused on B2B marketing. In the coming months we’ll be adding more B2B related filters, so stay tuned!

Just as a reminder, there are known issues that occur in the user interface when new filters are added. The percentage of spam filters passed metric will be artificially lower for campaigns that were run prior to the release. This will be apparent in three places: the dashboard, spam filter check results, and Campaign Preview email alerts. Also, the Spam Filter Check results for campaigns sent into the system before the release will display Cloudmark and Barracuda as a gray pass/fail status.

2. You already know how important Spam Assassin and Iron Port are, so we've made sure to upgrade both of these filters to ensure you are getting the most accurate and up to date information.
