identity of senders. The SenderBase Reputation Service is similar to a credit 
reporting service for email; it provides data that enterprises can use to 
differentiate legitimate senders from spam sources. Integrated directly into the 
IronPort appliance GUI, the SenderBase Reputation Service provides objective 
data that allows you to identify reliably and block IP addresses originating 
unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or to verify the authenticity of legitimate 
incoming email from business partners, customers, or any other important source. 
The SenderBase Reputation Service is unique in that it provides a global view of 
email message volume and organizes the data in a way that makes it easy to 
identify and group related sources of email.
Note
If your IronPort appliance is set to receive mail from a local MX/MTA, you must 
identify upstream hosts that may mask the sender's IP address. See 
 for more information.
Several key elements of the SenderBase Reputation Service are that it is:
Non-spoofable
The email sender’s reputation is based on the IP addresses of the email sender. 
Because SMTP is a two-way conversation over TCP/IP, it is nearly impossible to 
“spoof” an IP address — the IP address presented must actually be controlled by 
the server sending the message.
Comprehensive
The SenderBase Reputation Service uses global data from the SenderBase 
Affiliate network such as complaint rates and message volume statistics as well 
as data from carefully selected public blacklists and open proxy lists to determine 
the probability that a message from a given source is spam.
Configurable
Unlike other “identity-based” anti-spam techniques like blacklists or whitelists 
that return a simple yes/no decision, the SenderBase Reputation Service returns a 
graduated response based on the probability that a message from that source is 
spam. This allows you to set your own threshold for where you choose to block 
spam and automatically assign senders to different groups based on their 
SenderBase Reputation Score.
