This gives it atremendous advantage over other spam solutions thatjust check for keywords or rely on downloadingsignatures of known spam. GFI’s Bayesian filter uses anadvanced mathematical formula and a dataset which is‘custom-created’ for your installation: The spam data iscontinuously updated by GFI and is automaticallydownloaded by GFI MailEssentials, whereas the hamdata is automatically collected from your own outboundmail. This means that the Bayesian filter is constantlylearning new spam tricks, and spammers cannotcircumvent the dataset used. This results in a 98 %spam detection rate, after the required two-week learningperiod. In short, Bayesian filtering has the followingadvantages:· Looks at the whole spam message, not just keywordsor known spam signatures· Learns from your outbound email (ham) and thereforegreatly reduces false positives· Adapts itself over time by learning about new spamand new valid email· Dataset is unique to your company, making itimpossible to bypass· Multilingual and international.Downloads updates to spam profile databaseGFI MailEssentials can download updates to theBayesian spam profile database from the GFI site,ensuring that it recognizes the latest spam and spammingtechniques.

GFI MailEssentials configurationProtect your users against the menace of phishing emailsGFI MailEssentials provides the ability to detect and block threats posed byphishing emails through its Phishing URI Realtime Blocklist (PURBL). The GFIMailEssentials PURBL detects phishing emails by comparing Uniform ResourceIdentifiers (URIs) present in the email to a database of URIs which are known to beused in phishing attacks, and also by looking for typical phishing keywords in theURIs.Sort spam to users' junk mail foldersGFI MailEssentials gives you the flexibility to choose what to do with spam. Youcan delete it, move it to a folder, forward the spam mail to a public email address orfolder, or send it to individual customizable folders (for example, a “junk mail”folder) in the end-users’ inboxes. This allows users to easily review mail that hasbeen flagged as spam.Users can review spam emailList server for newsletter lists and discussion listsA list server is the best method for distributing company newsletters, since itautomates the process of allowing users to subscribe and unsubscribe (required byanti-spam regulations). However, until now, list servers have been expensive anddifficult to administer and they did not integrate with Exchange Server. GFIMailEssentials integrates with Exchange and can use Microsoft Access or MicrosoftSQL Server as the backend. Both newsletter lists and discussion lists aresupported.Easy tuning of the Bayesian engine via public foldersAdministrators can easily tune the Bayesian engine by dragging and dropping spamor ham to the appropriate public folder.

GFI MailEssentials supports popular third party blacklistssuch as ORDB, SpamHaus, Spamcop and also enables administrators to configurecustom RBL servers.Search email archive from anywhere viathe web-based interfaceCheck email headers for spam practicesSupport for multiple 3rd party SURBL serversGFI MailEssentials checks email content against SURBL servers. Administratorscan configure multiple SURBL servers, add their own and also define the priority ofwhich server should be checked first. More information on SURBL can be found athttp://www.surbl.org.Automatic whitelist management reduces false positivesWhitelists enable you to ensure that email from particular senders or domains arenever flagged as spam, permitting more stringent anti-spam rules. GFIMailEssentials includes a patent-pending automatic whitelist management tool,which automatically adds outgoing mail recipients to your whitelist. This greatlyreduces false positives, without any need for additional administration.

Eliminates directory harvestingSpammers often try to guess recipient addresses bygenerating multiple random email addresses at a domain;they then send their spam mail to all those addresses.GFI MailEssentials checks the validity of ALL the emailaddresses included in the mail sent, either via a query toActive Directory or through support for LDAP, and if theyare not all valid, marks the mail as spam.Reports on spam filtering and email usageThe database-driven reporting engine allows you tocreate advanced reports on your inbound and outboundemail. You can report on the amount of spam filtered andon rules which caught most spam. You can also generatereports on user, domain and mail server usage.Support for SPF - the Sender Policy FrameworkAs most of today’s spammers spoof email addresses, it isimportant to be able to check whether an email is genuineor if it has been sent from a forged sending address. Thiscan be done via the Sender Policy Framework (SPF),which allows users to test whether a particular emailoriginates from its claimed source. GFI MailEssentials isone of the first commercial anti-spam solutions to supportthis framework. Its SPF module automatically checkswhether the mail from a particular company was actuallysent by its registered mail servers. For more on SPF, visithttp://www.openspf.org.Set priorities for each anti-spam moduleYou can configure which method of capturing spam is tobe given priority, and create your own hierarchical list.For example, the administrator can select that thewhitelisting anti-spam feature must be applied first to allincoming mail, then Bayesian scanning, and so on.Email monitoringThe email monitoring feature enables you to keep acentral store of the email communications of a particularperson or department. By configuring the mail to becopied to an email address, all email can be stored in anExchange or Outlook store, making searching for email orcontent easy.Email archiving to a SQL databaseGFI MailEssentials can archive all inbound and outboundmail to a Microsoft SQL Server database.

for Exchange/SMTPEmail anti-virus, content policies, exploit detection andanti-trojanThe need to monitor email messages for dangerous, offensive or confidential content has never beenmore evident. The most deadly viruses, able to cripple your email server and corporate network inminutes, are being distributed worldwide via email in a matter of hours. Products that perform singlevendor anti-virus scanning do not provide sufficient protection. Worse still, email has become the meansfor installing backdoors (trojans) and other harmful programs to help potential intruders break into yournetwork. Products restricted to a single anti-virus engine will not protect against email exploits andattacks of this kind.Your only defense is to install comprehensive granular user-based email content policy and anti-virussoftware to safeguard your mail server and network. GFI MailSecurity acts as an email firewall andprovides mail security by protecting you from email viruses, exploits and threats, as well as email attackstargeted at your organization.GFI MailSecurity may be deployed in Gateway or VS API mode. The gateway version should bedeployed at the perimeter of the network as an email relay server and scans inbound and outboundmail. The VS API version integrates seamlessly with Exchange Server 2000/2003 and scans theExchange information stores.Virus checking with multiple virus scanning enginesGFI MailSecurity uses multiple virus scanners to scaninbound email. Using multiple scanners drasticallyreduces the average time to obtain virus signatures whichcombat the latest threats, and therefore greatly reducesthe chances of an infection. The reason for this is that asingle anti-virus company can never ALWAYS be thequickest to respond. For each outbreak, virus companieshave varying response times to a virus, depending onwhere the virus was discovered, etc. By using multiplevirus engines, you have a much better chance of havingat least one of your virus engines up-to-date and able toprotect against the latest virus.
