 Introduction 

 
 

Welcome to a spam-free world! 

 
 
 
Thank you for choosing MailCube to protect your messaging system while filing away all low-priority 
messages.   
 
The  MailCube  appliance  relies  on  the  unique  filtering  technology  developed  by  Vade  Retro 
Technology,  which  integrates  several  thousand  rules  that  our  experts  refresh  in  real  time.  MailCube 
also  integrates  a  predictive  heuristic  filter,  a  Vade  Retro  exclusivity  that  allows  anticipating  and 
blocking certain categories of new-generation spam even before they spread on your network.  
 
Heuristic  technology  also  allows  Vade  Retro  Technology  to  provide  a  classification  for  commercial 
messages  and  social  network  notifications,  thereby  allowing  you  to  get  a  pleasant  and  uncluttered 
mailbox.  
 
Furthermore,  Vade  Retro  Technology  solutions  offer  a  unique  feature  on  the  market:  safe 
unsubscription.  It  allows  users  to  unsubscribe  from  unwanted  commercial  e-mails  in  a  single  click 
directly in the area where e-mails are classified and from generated reports.  
 
The aim of this manual is to explain how to operate physical and virtual MailCube appliances, how to 
integrate them into your messaging system and how to customize them accordingly.
