Email Server Antivirus and Security

SmarterMail includes several antivirus enhancements that prevent the email server from being compromised, including support for incoming and outgoing SSL/TLS connections, administrator access restriction by IP, intrusion detection (IDS), active directory authentication, harvest attack detection, denial of service (DOS) attack prevention, malicious script authentication, and brute force detection for webmail.

Built-in Antivirus Software

SmarterMail is equipped with effective and self-updating virus protection measures out-of-the-box. With ClamAV antivirus, detailed antivirus activity reports are available at the system, domain, and user levels. In addition, the ClamAV signature database is updated multiple times a day and contains more than 300,000 signatures, including generic signatures that are able to detect new variants at a high rate.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention

SmarterMail's built-in intrusion detection system monitors the mail server for malicious activity. Once a security threat is identified, the system will automatically take action to block the attack and ensure mail server security.
