Dolphian's anti-spam solution offers unparalleled performance and flexibility, with drastic resource consumption control for OEM partners such as messaging software publishers or firewall vendors


Junk mail filtering is a must-have for network security equipment and messaging or infrastructure software.

When 70% to 80% of e-mail flows are spam, network infrastructure software and hardware vendors are evaluated on their ability to deliver a clean user experience combined to low TCO solutions.

Plug-and-play junk mail eradication is a great feature, bringing noticeable value to end-user and a strong differentiator.

Filtering e-mail has been a challenge for OEM vendors for several reasons :

  • Content filtering is different from other aspects of security, as it implies very specific skills and requires frequent updates and adaptation to new treats
  • Among the well known junk mail filtering technologies, content analysis is by far the most efficient, adaptable and reliable but it is more often than not extremely resource-consuming and unscalable, while reputation filters, while very light on CPUs, are prone to false positives
  • There is no such thing as a perfect junk mail filter. There are several parameters which need to be controlled, typically catch rate, false positive rate, throughput, resource consumption, but also stability and resilience. Dolphian MCS consistently delivers op quality filtering while letting OEM integrators control the resource allocation and measure performance while minimizing risks.

Because we control every single line of our code and rules, we can guarantee consistent specifications.

Dolphian's Message Content Scanner for Antispam is a robust configurable and totally controlled content analysis engine that fits into constrained environments like no other product. Fully compatible to standard APIs and protocols, Dolphian MCS can replace most existing anti-spam software in a snap, and deliver high quality content filtering out of the box. It can also be configured for specific needs or specific functionalities such as generic (customer configurable) or targeted e-mail content filtering.

With strict resource consumption control, low foot print and lightning speed, Dolphian MCS makes decisions faster than any content analysis engine and brings almost no overhead to existing environments

Plug once, filter many: By associating in-depth content analysis and pattern recognition to IP geolocation, language detection or statistical analysis, Dolphian MCS allows Dolphian's OEM partners to build feature-rich products.

Fully configurable, Dolphian MCS can work with no external resources if necessary (no network calls, no daily update) and has proved to be consistently efficient over longer periods without updates when necessary.

To maintain top level quality, Dolphian MCS is upgraded automatically on a daily basis on average.


Written with speed, scalability and thoroughness in mind, MCS is the perfect solution for vendors that need to integrate message content filtering and junk mail suppression into their own solutions.

Dolphian MCS can be integrated either as a value added optional feature generator, or more generally as a generic messaging server protection.


Fully compatible to standard APIs.

Dolphian MCS has its own API to communicate with e-mail handling agents, but is fully compatible to the standard SpamAssassin spamd protocol which is available on most products on the market. Additionally, Dolphian MCS is also available as a POSIX compatible C Library for tighter integration.

Dolphian MCS has been successfully integrated on SMTP gateways, on SMTP proxies, on POP proxies, as well as MTAs, MDAs and MUAs, or SMS gateways.

Of course, Dolphian's professional services department is here to assist on planning, prototyping, deploying and managing as needed.


With Dolphian MCS, differentiate from your competitors and increase your customers' satisfaction through junk mail filtering inside your own product.
