Features & Benefits

Protect your servers 24/7

Check email subject, body, and attachments of incoming and outgoing email messages for viruses, worms, Trojans, and other malware. Real-time, cloud-based file reputation and sender reputation from McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) protect against both known and emerging malware-based threats. Automatic updates keep you current with the latest security intelligence from McAfee Labs, the world’s top threat research center.

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.

Implement data leak prevention and content scanning

Use prebuilt dictionaries that cover most enterprise- and country-specific compliance rules or customize 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 ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) platform.

Filter spam and boost productivity

Catch spam and phishing emails using the antispam module with IP reputation, helping to maintain employee productivity and reduce wasted email server storage. Users may create their own whitelists and blacklists.

Stay updated with less effort

Automatically download the latest virus definitions (.DAT files) via HTTP, FTP, network file share, or the McAfee ePO centralized management console. As a result, your IT staff won’t need to spend valuable time on manual updates.

Support all your servers

Ensure protection for your email servers on major operating systems, including Windows and Linux, on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
