“By learning what is or isn’t spam, CanIt 2.0 is sophisticated enough to stay abreast of new spamming techniques,” said David Skoll, president of Roaring Penguin Software, Inc. “In addition, Bayesian analysis, a probability-based technique, makes it more difficult for spammers to reach users. With CanIt-PRO, individual end-users adjust spam protection to suit their particular preferences while the Bayesian filters learns each individual’s unique definition of spam.”

The company said the new version also includes many administrative enhancements. “Administrators will find that CanIt is even more customizable than before,” added Skoll. “One can now edit or add spam rules in a spreadsheet and import these back into CanIt, saving time and effort. This is helpful for administrators who create custom rules or want to transfer their rules to others.”
