Anti Spam and Antivirus Features of Mailspect Defense
Mailspect provides one of the most accurate and comprehensive solutions to protect your email from spam, viruses, phishing, and fraud attacks. Mailspect offers two levels of spam protection: Mailspect Defense which supports and automatically updates the Open Source antispam and antivirus engines, ClamD and Spamassassin; and Mailspect Premium Plug-Ins that integrate and maintain commercial engines from Cloumark, Mailshell and MDNA for anti spam and from ESET, F-Port, Kaspersky and Sophos for antivirus to increase filter accuracy. All Mailspect solutions include a policy engine that enables configuration on a per-user, per-domain or per-direction basis, giving you the flexibility to master the constant challenge these threats have become.
Mailspect Antispam Features
- Mailspect improves the accuracy of Open Source spam filters by adding pre-scan support of DNSBL (IP address blacklists), SURBL (domain blacklists), spamtraps, user generated black and white lists, and frequency/dictionary thresholds and throttles.
- Mailspect is much faster than Open Source spam filters. This increased speed is due to how we implemented the technology.
- Mailspect reduces the burden on system and help desk administrators due to its intuitive and user-friendly end user quarantine interface.
- Best of breed commercial antispam plug-ins for the best protection including Cloudmark, MDNA and Mailshell. For the technically proficient, Mailspect offers the following features:
- Customize spam handling by integrating URI filters with Mailspect spam scoring.
- Fine tune how spam is handled with per-policy and per-user spam actions. Self-provision spam actions (quarantine, discard, reject, mark header, mark subject, deliver) to reduce the support burden.
- Dynamically block dictionary attackers, abusive senders, violators of spam traps or other repeat message system offenders.
- Fine tune spam scoring by aggregating the results of spam content modules, content inspection rules, RBL sites, SPF and SURBL. Custom spam scoring is used to mark the headers of email that violate RBL sites, avoid single test responses and many other applications.
- Multi-level WBL processing including SMTP level, per-user, per-policy and per-feature. Implement features like greylists or spam traps but exempt known IP’ s from tests.
- Integrated error checking easily removes poorly constructed spam.
- Greylisting and integrated Postfix Policy Server
- Stop offensive content, block email based on headers or more with Mailspect’s content inspection module.
