TelstraClear will introduce a spam and virus filtering service to its two ISPs ClearNet and Paradise from September 8. The solution, from US-based anti-spam specialists Brightmail, makes use of a logistics centre full of people who scan emails to see if they are real or contain spam, according to TelstraClear’s e-commerce manager Mike Skinner.

Brightmail has a huge number of live accounts [for example brightmail@clear.net.nz] that sit on the mail servers of the ISPs who are their customers. Mail [sent to those addresses] that is tagged by the software as potential spam is sent to the centre and a human being looks at the spam and classifies it as either spam or not.
