Secure Mail Server

SmarterMail has several antivirus enhancements that prevent the mail 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.

Industry-standard antivirus software at no extra charge

SmarterMail is equipped with effective and self-updating virus protection measures to ensure mail server security 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.

Easily protect your server from malicious activity

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.

Ban weak passwords

Set and enforce password rules to decrease the likelihood that the security of a user’s mailbox will be breached. Then use the password compliance report to identify accounts that don’t meet the updated password requirements and send them a request to change their passwords.

Email Server Antivirus

Commtouch:  Zero-hour Antivirus

Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus Email Server Add-on

Immediate protection from new virus outbreaks

With the Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus add-on as a complement to traditional antivirus technology, administrators can feel secure knowing that their mail servers are protected from outbreaks the moment they occur. Rather than depending on heuristics, Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus uses Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) to scan the Internet and identify malware outbreaks as soon as they emerge, providing proactive virus blocking that is effective, immediate, and signature-independent.

Quarantine suspect emails

SmarterMail allows system administrators to quarantine any emails that ClamAV or any third-party antivirus solution flagged as suspect. This allows administrators to inspect messages and possibly remove them from the server altogether. In addition, administrators can notify message recipients of the potential threats from suspect messages rather than having recipients wonder about any lost emails.

Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus Add-on

Today's viruses, worms, and Trojans target the time it takes for traditional email server antivirus solutions to develop and distribute new signatures and heuristics. The Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus add-on provides a complementary shield to conventional antivirus technology, protecting in the earliest moments of malware outbreaks and right through as each new variant emerges.

Purchase the Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus add-on to extend SmarterMail's out-of-the-box virus protection and enjoy these key benefits:

  • Immediate malware protection – Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus defends against new outbreaks before antivirus client updates
  • Business enabling – With Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus, there is no need for broad file-blocking policies. Safe files flow freely, and only malicious attachments are blocked.
  • Peace of mind – IT managers can feel confident that their mail server is secure even when the next big worm attacks
