The original version of spambite allowed spam mail to sit on everyones email servers for 24 hours giving the person that sent the message time to respond to the confirmation request. This method works fine, however, in the cases of known spam it was a waste of diskspace on the servers.
The latest version of the Spambite ENS released this week performs a couple different tasks allowing it to remove spam mail from the email servers more quickly.
First, if an email arrives from a known spam server, the ENS will notify your particular gate to remove the email from your email server unless you have added that email address to your whitelist. This causes an immediate removal instead of waiting.
Secondly, if an email arrives and is stored on your email server and you pull up your block list and clear it after reviewing the items that are on it, the ENS will inform your gate of this which in turn will remove the items from your email server instead of waiting the allotted 24 hours.
Both of these processes are going to cut down a great deal in the overhead requirements of both Spambite and your email servers.
