GFI is a leading provider of network security,
content security, and messaging software. Its product range includes
GFI MailEssentials for Exchange and SMTP mail servers; which offers
spam protection at server level and eliminates the need to install
and update anti-spam software on each workstation.
GFI MailEssentials adds email management tools to
your mail server, such as disclaimers, mail archiving and monitoring,
Internet mail reporting, list server, server-based auto replies and
POP3 downloading. It also offers a fast set-up and a high spam
detection rate using Bayesian analysis and other methods, and the
ability to automatically adapt to most email environments. Some
new features in Version 11 include:
Instant view of emails from new senders
A New Senders feature has been added to provide users with an
instant view of emails sent from people they never had previous
(email) contact with. This helps users to better organize emails in
their email client. If an
email is not found to be spam by the GFI MailEssentials anti-spam
modules and is also not on the whitelist, the New Senders module can
move that email to a user's specified subfolder.
Enhanced verification of email addresses
GFI MailEssentials checks the
validity of all the email addresses included in any mail sent,
via a query either to Active Directory or to other
email servers that support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), for example, native Exchange 5.5
Set priorities for each anti-spam module
Administrators can now configure which method of capturing spam is
to be given priority, and create their own hierarchical list. For
example, you can choose to check all incoming mail firstly against whitelists, then Bayesian scanning, thirdly against custom DNS
blacklists and so on. Administrators can also configure custom real-time
blacklist (RBL) servers and multiple DNSRBL servers, add their own,
and define the order of priority of servers to be checked.
Support for Spam URI Realtime Blocklist (SURBL) servers
GFI MailEssentials can now check email content also against multiple SURBL servers,
by extracting links or domains from the message body and querying whether these are
listed on public spam URL blacklists such as sc.surbl.org. You can
find more information on SURBL at http://www.surbl.org.
GFI is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and has
won the Microsoft Fusion (GEM) Packaged Application Partner of the
