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.
