Hosted Frontline Defense for Your Email Security System
Email is a critical communications tool. In an environment of continually rising volumes of spam and email threats, companies are facing the need to economically defend their infrastructure while also protecting against any email downtime. Using a hybrid solution that combines an existing on-premise anti-spam/antivirus system with an online solution enables customers to leverage their existing investment, while ensuring stronger defense against threats and providing an on-demand, always available backup mail service.
As a hosted frontline defense solution for your email security system, GFI MAX MailEdge offers an additional layer of email threat protection and email continuity functionality. Designed to be used in combination with GFI MailEssentials, GFI MailSecurity or other existing on-premise anti-spam/anti-virus tools, GFI MAX MailEdge is able to block the most obvious spam before it reaches a customer’s network, drastically reducing the bandwidth and processing power required for handling the increasing volumes of incoming email, and effectively increasing the capacity of the on-premise tool. Equally importantly, GFI MAX MailEdge provides email continuity: the service will automatically queue any legitimate inbound email messages that cannot be delivered, and allows customers to access and respond to those messages when the customer’s email server is offline.
Features
Network Defense
Up to 90% of 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.
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 customizable web-based control panel allows administrators and users to control the service, while providing access 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.
Platform-Neutral
Works with any operating systems or mail infrastructure including Exchange, Lotus Notes, GroupWise, Zimbra, qmail, postfix, sendmail and any other SMTP server.
