Mail-Filter is a managed service that comprises advanced anti-virus and anti-spam filters to clean your mail before it reaches your network

The service is charged on a ‘per address’ basis and has an optional customer interface for those that wish to administer their own quarantined mail.

Protection Process

Viruses

Mail-Filter anti-virus solution comprises multiple best-of-breed identity based engines, which are critical in the detection of viruses. However, as mass outbreak viruses tend to replicate and distribute at such high speed, the time taken by identity based anti-virus vendors to capture, analyse and release tested updates to the anti-virus engines leaves organisations exposed to the threat of virus infection for a period of time. This window has been dubbed the ‘Zero Hour’ syndrome. To meet this challenge, Mail-Filter employs Zero Hour and heuristic filters to seek out new, unknown viruses through additional mail scanning.

Spam

With spam levels regularly being measured at between 65 and 90 percent, Mail-Filter utilises enterprise grade technology to manage the sheer volume of unwanted email being delivered. Careful attention to connection management and integration of multiple best-of-breed filters has led to blocking the maximum quantities of spam with the lowest possible rate of false positives.

Pornographic Images

Many organisations recognise the distress that can be suffered by users who innocently open email to find distasteful images attached. Increasingly, employers recognise that they have a duty of care to minimise these incidents and consequently, Mail-Filter provides an optional filter specifically to address image analysis.
