Mailspect Announces New Tools for Email Data Loss Prevention

With all of the attention on Data Loss Prevention (DLP), controlling the flow of intellectual property in email has never been more important than it is today. In light of the demands of DLP for email, Mailspect is pleased to announce beta of a new email content filtering module that offers extremely scalable, per-destination content rules. Mailspect’s new content filter module stores rules that can be dynamically applied to senders, recipients or pairs of addresses. Mailspect’s dynamic content rules scales to hundreds of thousands of users and includes a complete quarantine management system where filters can be managed and messages reviewed. Mailspect filters apply to email headers, bodies, attachments name and content and mime name or type making our solution the most flexible contextual processing system for email.

Use Mailspect’s new contextual email processing tools to manage the flow of information into and out of your organization as part of an overall DLP strategy. Mailspec’t unique ability to track, control, and surveil, at service provider and large enterprise scale give us a unique position in the email market. Our solution for email content filtering is server agnostic and works with any email input. Use Mailspect to quarantine attachments to specific recipients, block the sending of certain email to certain recipients, etc. The possibilities are limitless with Mailspect’s new email content filtering. Combine these abilities with the ability to brand our quarantine interface on a per-domain basis and selectively enable/disable services and Mailspect Defense is the antispam for service providers looking to compete against Google and Postini by adding value with features Google can’t match.

Mailspect Defense Reference Design for Scalable Antispam Protection

We’ve been working on a reference design for a customer and have arrived at something that is pretty interesting. Our reference design allows large scale anti spam for service providers, scalable spam protection for enterprises and fully redundant antispam protection.

Mailspect Defense Antispam Reference Design for Large Scale Antispam Deployment

In this reference design we have Postfix handling SMTP relays and transports from LDAP. Each Postfix instance speaks remotely to mppd for policy services through a load balancer. Mppd handles STMP checks (per domain or per policy) WBL’s, Spamtraps, SPF, SMTP logging and AutoWBL’s at this level. The Postfix Policy Server of mppd is highly intelligent and works in tandem with the post-queue processor component of mppd. So for example, if we find a remote system is sending too much spam they are added to a dynamic blacklist and then cut off at the SMTP transaction.

After the SMTP session is accepted then Postfix, if required by the Stream Policy, Mailspect will send the message using the Postfix Content Filter protocol, to a pool of load balanced mppd servers.

All of the servers share common configurations and quarantine and settings databases so a new node can be quickly added for expansion.  A cluster like this can easily scale to many millions of messages a day with surprisingly sparse hardware.
