GFI MAX MailProtection

GFI MAX MailProtection is a hosted email security and continuity solution that is compatible with any email system and can be implemented in just minutes.  GFI MAX MailProtection’s cutting edge technology ensures the optimal filtering of unwanted or harmful messages.  At the same time, its customisable management interface and innovative features such as one-click whitelisting, ensure that the solution is both simple to deploy and hassle-free.  The cost of this powerful layer of protection is priced at just cents per day based on the number of users, and includes spam filtering, protection against viruses, and a true email continuity service which acts as an ‘always available’ email backup solution.

GFI MAX MailProtection stops spam, viruses, and other email threats before they reach the network or mail server; incoming email is redirected to its fully redundant network and application architecture, which processes messages in real-time via both traditional spam filtering techniques and leading-edge approaches to message analysis including authenticity checks, message fingerprinting, heuristic rule sets, extensive URI databases, real-time message source analysis, and customisable whitelists and blacklists.

The key benefits of GFI MAX MailProtection are:

• Comprehensive and highly accurate spam filtering.
• Zero-hour antivirus protection.
• Rapid deployment and simple ongoing management.
• Business continuity with integrated queuing and on-demand mail service.
• Simple, per-user-per-month pricing structure, with no capital expenditure or start-up costs.
• Compatibility with any email system or operating systems.
• Minimised risks of incorrectly classified messages.
• Substantially greater scalability and reliability than a software or hardware solution dependent on a single device.
• Message logging and search capabilities.
• Responsive and competent technical support.

Network defense
Almost all spam and email threats can be blocked before they reach the customer's network – reducing risk, freeing up network bandwidth and easing mail server load.

Continuity
Customers can continue accessing, responding to, and sending email messages, even in the event of an on-premise mail server or network outage; mail is queued by the service, and customers can continue accessing or responding to those messages via the GFI MAX MailProtection control panel, even while their own mail server is off-line.

Zero-hour virus protection
Block new or emerging "zero hour" virus threats before those threats can be detected by traditional signature-based AV solutions.

Inbound spam filtering
Improve productivity of servers and employees by reducing the volume of junk mail getting through an existing anti-spam solution.

Outbound spam filtering
Prevent inappropriate messages or attachments from being sent from a customer's network or from a specific user, thereby protecting the company’s reputation and alerting administrators as to the presence of any infected workstations or 'zombie' machines, so that those systems can be handled appropriately.

Directory harvest attack prevention
Defend against spammers who attempt to deliver messages to a large number of valid and invalid email addresses at your domain.

Intuitive web-based control panel
The customisable web-based control panel allows administrators and users to control the service, while providing access to quarantined messages as well as to queued mail in the event of an on-premise mail server failure.

Denial of service attack (DoS) prevention
Prevent email-based DoS attacks by limiting and controlling inbound SMTP traffic from one or more given source IP addresses.

Brandable at all touch points, including its web-based control panel
Distributors, partners or customers can consistently promote themselves to their user-base with an easily customisable GUI, which can reflect the desired URL, logo, and color scheme of that organisation.  The branding extends beyond the web-based control panel to all end-user touch points, including customisable message digests, notifications, and other communications.

Hosted individual junk mail quarantines
The service can retain detected spam messages in the control panel outside of the company's network, while allowing each user to access these messages at any time to check for any genuine mail that may have been caught by the spam filters.

Individual junk mail digests
Users can view a convenient, automatically emailed summary of detected spam messages, with a link next to each message to allow the user to identify and release from the quarantine any potential false positives.  The digest messages can be scheduled as infrequently as once per week or as frequently as three times per day.

Configurable user preferences
Administrators can set the spam filtering configuration for a given user, or can delegate the ability to do so to the individual users so that the service works for their specific needs.

Message logging and search
Determine the delivery status of an inbound or outbound message, via a message search tool that includes full delivery logs for all messages in the last 10 days.

Platform-neutral
Works with any operating system or mail infrastructure including Exchange, Lotus Domino, GroupWise, Zimbra, qmail, postfix, sendmail and any other SMTP server.
