Message Keys for Outlook incorporates a new paridim shifting technology caller "Email Permission Keys" or Message Keys for short. With the new technology comes a few new terms.
- Lost Message Rate (LMR) - is the percentage of legitimate messages that are mistaken for Spam. The term is used instead of the statistical term "false positive" as traditionally the term false positive has been a source of confusion to end users who mistakenly believe that it represents the proportion of legitimate messages that are incorrectly miss-placed in to the Spam folder. The argument behind promoting the use and acceptance of the term is the belief that the user is more interested in the percentage of legitimate messages lost then how much Spam was processed to lose them.
- Email Permission Keys (EPK) - are a unique code or key that is embedded in an email address in such a way that it is likely to be retained during normal use of that address, and is therefore available to be extracted at a later date when that email address is used to send a message back to the original user.
- CaseKeys - a type of email permission key that uses the CAsE of the LeTTerS that make up an email address to embed a unique key into every instance of that email address. A typical CaseKey may look something like this:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
- Display Name Annexing (DNA) - a type of email permission key that appends or encodes a unique key within the Display Name portion of the email address. A typical display name key may look something like this: "John Smith 12345" where 12345 is the key, or if combined with CaseKey encoding may look like this - "John Smith (
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
)" where the key is actually encoded as email address CaseKey.
- Global Key Custodian (GKC) - is the central facility for the issuing, authentication, and tracking of email permission keys.
