GFI Launches GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP 10; The Acclaimed Server-Based Anti-Spam Tool Just Got Better - Improved Efficiency in Spam Filtering Techniques and Essential Mail Archiving Options

LONDON (ots)

GFI has announced the release of GFI MailEssentials
for Exchange/SMTP 10. This new version of GFI's popular server-based
anti-spam solution allows network users to blacklist or whitelist
senders via public folders, and enables administrators to tune the
Bayesian filter more easily. Version 10 also includes mail archiving
to SQL Server, permitting companies to comply with government
regulations more easily. It also functions as a list server, making
it simple for companies to maintain and distribute company news.
"Version 10 beefs up the anti-spam features on offer: We've made
the Bayesian filter easier to train, empowered users to easily
whitelist or blacklist senders and added new spam checks," said Nick
Galea, GFI CEO. "In addition, with version 10, we are taking GFI
MailEssentials beyond 'just' anti-spam: We have added a powerful
archiving feature, better reporting and a new list server feature.
More than ever, GFI MailEssentials is a must-have companion to
Exchange Server."
Allows users to whitelist or blacklist via public folders
GFI MailEssentials 10 (see screenshot at
http://www.gfi.com/news/press.asp?release=mes10launch&lcode=en) now
allows users to whitelist or blacklist senders simply by dragging and
dropping the appropriate mail to a public folder. This gives users
more control without having to involve the administrator.
Administrators, however, can control access to this feature through
the use of Public Folder security.
The GFI MailEssentials automatic whitelist management tool
automatically adds mail recipients to a user's whitelist, thus
reducing false positives. In version 10, whitelists can also be built
based on domain names, email addresses and keywords.
Easy tuning of the Bayesian engine via public folders
Similarly, administrators can easily tune the product's Bayesian
engine by dragging and dropping spam or ham to the appropriate public
folder. GFI MailEssentials learns from the spam and ham that it
collects from these folders, thereby improving its spam detection
rate.
Reports on spam filtering and mail usage
Version 10's new database-driven reporting engine allows
administrators to create advanced reports on how much spam the
product filtered and the rules that caught most spam, as well as
reports on user, domain and mail server usage.
Mail archiving to an SQL database
GFI MailEssentials can archive all inbound and outbound mail to a
Microsoft SQL Server database. Administrators can search for a
particular mail, or for an entire email thread, via the included web
interface. Mail archiving is essential for backup and search reasons,
but also to comply with new regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxly
act, which specify that all email correspondence must be archived.
List server for newsletter lists and discussion lists
GFI MailEssentials 10 includes list server functionality. A list
server is the best method for distributing company newsletters since
it automates the process to subscribe and unsubscribe (required by
anti-spam regulations). So far, list servers have been expensive and
difficult to administer, and did not integrate with Exchange Server.
The GFI MailEssentials list server changes all this as it is
competitively priced and integrates with Exchange. It can use
Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server as the backend and supports
both newsletter lists and discussion lists.
Other anti-spam features
As part of its multiple-layer approach against spam, GFI
MailEssentials intelligently analyzes email headers and identifies
spam based on message field information. It detects forged headers,
spam mutation, spam sent from invalid domains, and more. It also
enables administrators to configure keywords to check for spam using
keyword checking.
About GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP
GFI MailEssentials offers spam protection at server level and
eliminates the need to install and update anti-spam software on each
desktop. It offers a fast set-up and a high spam detection rate using
Bayesian analysis and other methods -- no configuration required,
very low false positives through its automatic whitelist, and the
ability to automatically adapt to the email environment to constantly
tune and improve spam detection. Pricing is highly competitive, with
a 50-user version costing just US$495, for example. GFI
MailEssentials 10 can be purchased in a bundle with GFI MailSecurity,
GFI's email content security product, at pricing starting at US$450
for 10 mailboxes. More information about GFI MailEssentials and a
trial version are available at: http://www.gfi.com/mes/.
