Feel free to click all over in the demo pages. Some links are non-functional on these "example only" pages.

Click screens to enlarge Outbound Index Dashboard	Members access all reports and control their configurations using the Dashboard. Each section has a linked to detailed help for that section, which also explains the source of data for each report. The rest of the demo pages shown below are examples of reports and management screens you can access through the Dashboard.
Inbound Queries	Example of a summary report for monitoring SIQuery responses sent to your inbound email servers.
Drill-down Inbound Detail	Drilling down from the Inbound Queries summary report. We have linked to DNSStuff.com from each IP address, which brings up most ARIN / *NIC data for source IP, and linked to WhoIsSource.com from each resolved FQDN, which is often successful in bringing up a variety of useful data about the base domain.
Outbound from My Networks	In this example report, we chose to show what we would call unauthorized outbound traffic coming from dynamically assigned IP addresses at .edu domains, some apparently dorm rooms. This demonstrates how a network administrator can monitor the netblocks he is responsible for, and instantly see exactly who the culprit machine is. These live reports are based on the reflected view provided by queries from INBOUND servers receiving unauthorized traffic from your netblock - potentially giving you a worldwide view of email traffic outbound from your networks. Also note that the envelope-from domain, improbably matches the resolved FQDN for the source IP address in many cases. For example, the MAIL FROM: address was given as something like "freepills@166-73.resnet.smu.edu", possibly with the intention of avoiding anti-forgery tests.
Forgeries Report	Example of report showing MyDoom virus infected computers forging a customer domain. Blocking a large percentage of forging virus traffic at the SMTP connection point has significantly reduced load on the anti-virus mail processor in this system, stopping a significant number of forging viruses "from" domains listed, even prior to anti-virus vendors developing a signature and fix. Here, too, we have linked to DNSStuff.com from each IP address, which brings up most ARIN / *NIC data for source IP. We have also linked to WhoIsSource.com from each resolved FQDN, which is often successful in bringing up a variety of useful data about the base domain.
Prove Control of Domain	On this page, you can instantly authenticate your control of the domain you wish to manage - and we avoided using email for any part of this process :) Authentication is completed when you have placed a file, with a simple keyed name and contents, in a key-named folder in the root of your domain web server. We read the file contents back and thus know you have webroot access for the domain. Name server hosts automatically have control for all domains they operate name service for, after authenticating control of the name server host domain. (This is already operational in Outbound Index query responses - all servers authorized for a name server host are automatically authorized for domains served by that name server. We have not yet added the automatic recognition of name server "child" domains in the authentication process, but it's coming. Check the Work in Progress page.)
STATUS: Authenticated	Here's the screen you see when you have successfully proven control of the domain. Now you will be able to enter and manage server listings for that domain.
Manage Outbound Listings	Add, edit, and delete servers you authorize to send outbound email for the domains under your control, and specify any IP address ranges under your control which are forbidden to operate as outbound email servers.
All Networks Worldwide	Each cell on this page represents one of the 255 ipv4 nets worldwide. The background color of each cell illustrates the percentage mix of unauthorized (Red), authorized (Green), and unknown (Blue) email delivery attempts as an RGB hex HTML color. Greyed-out or omitted nets had no traffic at all. In the real (non-demo) version of this page, clicking on any network displays a drill down page of more detail about the traffic reported through queries to the Outbound Index.
