E-mail Protection against Malware


* Fights e-mail-borne malware by filtering and blocking messages that carry dangerous active codes
* Offers anti-phishing protection by proactively detecting forged messages intended to trick their recipient into disclosing confidential data
* Can act* as a multiple mail server proxy through inter¬faces capable of filtering the traffic routed to different mail servers
* The Directory Harvesting filter* protects against attempts to steal valid mail addresses from the mail server
* Provides** the possibility of separately handling riskware (applications that pose a potential threat, but which certain user groups might still need)


Compatibility


* Comes with an SMTP proxy agent which:
o allows using the solution with generic e-mail platforms such as Windows SMTP Mail Servers, Exim**, Dmail**
o offers access to features such as connection count limiting, trusted networks and relay domain limitations
* Includes** dedicated agents for automatic integration with several of the most popular mail transfer agents such as Sendmail (milter), Postfix, Courier, qmail and CommuniGate Pro
* Fully complies** with FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard), operating in a completely non- intrusive manner
* Ensures compatibility with all major Unix-based platforms due to its rpm, deb and generic .tar.run packages


Increased Business Productivity


* Reduces mail traffic and saves network resources due to its extensive antimalware protection capabilities
* Through its optimized scanning process, increases mail delivery speed and reduces server workload
* Improves the IT manager’s productivity and prevents the loss of confidential information by filtering all mail passing through the mail server based on:
o content (subject line, body**, sender, recipient) and attachment
o the criteria defined for the existing user groups
* Provides a highly efficient multi-layered antispam protection system which:
o reduces mail traffic by accurately classifying messages as spam, phishing or legitimate
o blocks unsolicited mail based on several filters, among which:
+ connection filters such as the Allow/Deny IP List* and Sender Black List*
+ the Bayesian Filter, which you can train to learn the specifics of the spam mail received by your server
+ the Real-time Blackhole List (RBL) filter, which identifies spam based on mail servers’ reputation as spam senders
o Allows configuring antispam filter sensitivity by set¬ting very demanding or relaxed thresholds for each user group
o Matches* mail to specific IP addresses so that messages with spoofed headers no longer fool the White List filter.
* Provides WBL (White List/ Blacklist) support, allowing you to set a list of trusted and untrusted addresses based on which to respectively “always accept” or “always re¬ject” mail


Increased Usability


* Allows you to filter mail traffic more flexibly, leveraging antivirus, antispam, content and attachment filtering policies for different groups or users
* Generates detailed statistics and reports related to the solution’s activity
* Sends customizable mail notifications about its activity
* Allows you to remotely configure mail protection through its management tools
* A dedicated command line interface** allows performing post-install configuration and administration tasks
* Can isolate dangerous or restricted mail in a quarantine zone to be dealt with later
* The quarantine area is searchable** based upon regular expressions, sender, recipient, date and cause for quarantine
* Allows** performing management actions via SNMP by means of its SNMP Daemon Plug-in
* Can** send virus and administration alerts to three different hosts, through the SNMP Logger plug-in
