Ottawa, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2011 -- Roaring Penguin Software Inc., the email filtering experts, makers of the Hosted CanIt anti-spam service, announced the release of a major upgrade. Hosted CanIt introduces several major new features that greatly improve its suitability for small and medium enterprises:

Log Indexing and Searching:

Hosted CanIt now indexes all e-mail logs into a full-text search engine. This allows system administrators and domain administrators to quickly search logs for relevant messages. The logs are grouped into correlated sets on a per-message basis; this allows Hosted CanIt to pull together log lines that are far apart in time but relate to the same message. CanIt's log indexer can search gigabytes of log data in just seconds from a convenient Web interface. This simplifies the process of finding a lost message compared to the painful searching of log files with traditional file-searching tools.

CanIt's log indexer is fully aware of realms of control; customers administrators can only see those log lines that pertain to their users' messages. Log lines pertaining to messages for users in other organizations are not accessible to domain administrators --- only the Manged Service Providers designated system administrator can access cross-organization log messages.

Brand-New Web Interface

Hosted CanIt's Web interface code has been overhauled to make theming much simpler. Now, theming a Hosted CanIt anti-spam site is simple and relatively painless. Most theming work can be done by HTML designers. The new Web interface code is faster than the old code, making CanIt's GUI even snappier than ever.

In addition to these major features, CanIt features dozens of small improvements and bug fixes such as geolocation data for IPv6 addresses, several new API calls, improvements to the Verification Server (SMTP Callout) feature and better SNMP monitoring code.

This is part of a major upgrade in the CanIt Software to CanIt 8.0. CanIt 8.0 is available as:

- CanIt-PRO, an anti-spam software solution suitable for small and medium business.
- CanIt-Domain-PRO, spam filtering software for MSPs to host anti-spam for their customers.
- Hosted CanIt, a fully outsourced, hosted anti-spam service.
