How
Challenge Response Works
Spammers
send e-mails to millions of recipients, and do not have
the time to respond to each of them. Viruses
also send e-mails at a rapid pace, and do not have the
ability to respond to each of them. A legitimate sender
has both the time and the ability to confirm they want to
send you an e-mail. Here is how Challenge Response takes
advantage of this environment:
Example:
When Sender Sam transmits an e-mail to Recipeint
Rachel, Keyway's Challenge Response system will check
Sam's e-mail address against a list of authorized recipients.
Here are the potential results and associated actions:
- Whitelested:
Sam's e-mail address is pre-approved by Rachel as a valid
sender, and the e-mail is delivered to Rachel without
interruption.
- Blacklisted:
Sam's e-mail address has been predetermined by Rachel
to be a known source of unsolicited e-mail, and the e-mail
is automatically deleted.
- Unknown:
Sam's e-mail address does not appear on the whitelist
nor the blacklist, and a Challenge e-mail is generated.
Until Sam responds to the challenge, his note will be
held in Rachel's "Pending" folder.
