MailScan

What is MailScan?

MailScan is an email filtering service. It is a cluster of gateway servers running comprehensive software that thoroughly inspects each message destined for your email server. MailScan accepts email traffic for your domain, scans and removes suspect email, then forwards the filtered email to your email server. Viruses, spam and malware are prevented from ever reaching your IP address.

MailScan filters your email before it gets to your email server.

Built in spam/malware/virus protection

MailScan is typically used for businesses that run in-house email server(s) and want to add an additional layer of virus scanning & filtering to incoming email along with sender identification/authentication for outbound email. This greatly reduces the load on your email server while reducing the expense to maintain security. MailScan is a great choice for businesses that need low cost anti-virus, anti-spam protection but may not have the time, knowledge or resources to maintain server security.

*A simple update to your DNS settings is all that is required to start using MailScan, and it works with all SMTP compliant email servers.

Multi-Layered Filtering
MailScan uses a multi-layered filtering system to protect against spam, viruses, and other malware threats before being delivered to the customer's email system. It greatly reduces the threat of email attacks and abuse. You can archive email, and varying degrees of security can be implemented through a customized, configured email policy.

MailScan employs many different methods of screening email before it gets delivered to your in-house email server, including:
