McAfee Security for Email Servers

Robust content security for your Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino servers

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee Security for Email Servers provides comprehensive content security for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino servers.

Industry-leading protection — Uses award-winning McAfee in-memory and incremental on-demand scanning to remove viruses, worms, Trojans, and other threats from incoming and outgoing email.

Strong internal safeguards — Detects threats that may have either slipped past your perimeter defenses or entered your network via infected laptops and internal email. It also blocks spam with the anti-spam module.

Powerful filtering — Enforces corporate policies for email use by filtering offensive content and plugging leaks of sensitive data.

Single console management — Use the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform to manage security and view detailed graphical reports from a centralized web-based console.

Features & Benefits

Protect your servers 24/7

Check incoming and outgoing email messages for viruses, worms, Trojans, and other malware. Automatically download the latest virus definitions (.DAT files) via HTTP, FTP, network file share, or the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) centralized management console.

Enforce compliance

Filter messages based on size, message content, or attachment content. Block or quarantine messages that contain specific words or phrases in the subject line, message body, or attachments.

Save time and resources

Use pre-built or customized content filters to keep sensitive data from leaking out of your organization. Create rules on a global basis, with exceptions as needed for individuals and departments. Manage via the built-in HTML interface or the McAfee ePO platform.

Filter spam and boost productivity

Catch 98% of spam and phishing emails with the anti-spam module, helping to maintain employee productivity and reduce wasted email server storage. Users may create their own whitelists and blacklists.

Stay updated with less effort

Count on automatic updates to keep you current with the latest security intelligence from McAfee Labs, the world’s top threat research center. As a result, your IT staff won’t need to spend valuable time on manual updates.
