Red Condor Outperforms Google's Message Security in Head-to-Head Anti-Spam Test

ROHNERT PARK, CA, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Red Condor, the award-winning provider of fully managed email security
solutions, today announced the results of a recent third-party
head-to-head anti-spam effectiveness and feature comparison test between
Red Condor Message Assurance Gateway 2700 (MAG2700) and Google Inc.'s
Message Security powered by Postini. The test, which was conducted by The
Tolly Group, found that the MAG2700's spam detection rate was
significantly higher than Postini's with 84% fewer false positives.
Following the week-long test, The Tolly Group concluded that Red Condor
offers, "better anti-spam performance at considerably less cost."

The Tolly Group's test showed that Red Condor's MAG2700 is more accurate
when it comes to delivering legitimate email. Red Condor generated only
one false positive in more than 190,700 inbound emails; whereas the
Postini Hosted Service generated one false positive in just 527 inbound
emails. (A false positive is defined as a good email classified as spam
that is not spam.)

The Tolly Group also found that the Red Condor MAG2700 had a spam
detection rate of 99.991%; whereas Postini's detection rate was only
95.397%. This means that while Red Condor misclassified less than 0.01%
of the total spam emails, Postini misclassified more than 4.60%;
indicating that Red Condor is significantly more accurate stopping bad
email and malicious content.

"The MAG2700's performance in head-to-head evaluations against the
industry-recognized leaders continues to validate the effectiveness of our
system and technology," said Dr. Thomas Steding, president and chief
executive officer of Red Condor. "During the test, our spam filter
outperformed Postini's, and our system produced far fewer false
positives. In addition, our MAG2700 one-year price per mailbox is 85
percent less expensive than Postini's hosted service. Combine Red
Condor's exceptional performance with our price, ease of use, worry-free
management and around-the-clock support, and it's clear why so many of
our customers have migrated away from these other solutions."

Testing was conducted in accordance with the Tolly Common RFP #1058
"Anti-Spam Gateway v1.0." See CommonRFP.com for more details. The MAG2700
was configured behind the corporate firewall and quarantine features were
enabled. Tolly network engineers modified their corporate DNS servers to
redirect all incoming email to the Postini servers for analysis and
filtering. The engineers also enabled the LDAP query feature available on
the Red Condor device to run recipient verification on The Tolly Group's
Active Directory server. Both platforms were tested using a live e-mail
stream of messages, and all inbound email messages were scanned for
possible spam.
