GFI MAX MailEdge™ Hosted Frontline Spam Defense for your Email Security System
With GFI MAX MailEdge™, you can enjoy a hybrid approach to email security that augments existing on-premise solutions with a fi rst line of email defense in the Cloud and the added assurance of true messaging continuity, thanks to its integrated queuing and always-on backup mail service functionality. GFI MAX MailEdge is designed specifically to be used in combination with an existing on-premise software or hardware anti-spam/anti-virus solution. This hybrid delivery model allows customers to maintain their existing set-up yet also maximize the security benefits of having all inbound email first filtered in the Cloud. This approach leverages the strengths of both delivery models and avoids the limitations of single-device on-premise email security systems.
Effectiveness
Through its IP reputation filters, connection throttling, directory harvesting protection, and optional greylisting, GFI MAX MailEdge is able to safely block up to 90% of all spam emails and email threats before they reach the customer’s network. GFI MAX MailEdge also provides email continuity - assuring that customers can continue to access and respond to email even when their own mail server is offline. The result is a dramatic reduction in email threats reaching a customer’s network, as well as valuable insurance against email downtime.
Ease of Use
With GFI MAX MailEdge, customers do not have to install or manage any extra hardware or software over and above the on-premise solution they are already using – saving time and hassle for network administrators. End-users benefit from an extra layer of protection that requires no ongoing maintenance.
Seamless Integration
GFI MAX MailEdge’s innovative, perimeter-based approach to curtailing email threats means that it can work seamlessly with any email or anti-virus system in use.
User management - In addition to being able to control all settings for individual users, administrators have the ability to easily ‘act as a user’ to see with the click of a link exactly what that user sees, for training and troubleshooting purposes.
Flexible message delivery - The service can deliver incoming messages to one or more servers or IP addresses, with integrated load-balancing and failover capabilities.
