Security for Mail Server

Benefits

• Effective antivirus protection for Microsoft Exchange, Linux Mail Server and Lotus Notes/Domino
• Scans all incoming and outgoing emails and attachments
• Antivirus scanning of all IBM Lotus Domino objects
• Two-tier spam filtering
• Flexible management and administration

Functions

The program scans for and removes all types of viruses, worms, Trojans and other malicious programs from incoming and outgoing mail, including attachments in nearly any format.

The application scans mail storages and public folders on the server in the background, ensuring that all objects are processed using the latest version of the antivirus databases without any noticeable increase in server load.

When using the extended antivirus databases, the application can detect and remove not only known malicious software, but potentially hostile programs as well. These include programs that display advertising, data collection programs, dialer programs for automatically establishing connections with pay sites and other utilities that can be used by cybercriminals for their purposes.

The application can monitor virus activity and detect outbreaks, allowing the system administrator to take response measures quickly: e.g., launch a scanning task, update databases or increase the system’s level of protection. The administrator can be notified of outbreaks by email.

Before modifying messages, the application saves backup copies, making it possible to restore important information if attempts to cure an object fail. A broad range of search parameters can be used to make finding objects in the backup storage easier.

Administration

The administrator can configure the program based on the organization’s security policy and hardware capabilities, e.g.

• Select the types of malicious and potentially hostile programs to be detected by choosing standard or extended antivirus databases
• Adjust the application’s performance depending on the mail traffic and the number of users
• Scan only potentially hostile objects by disabling scanning of certain file types

The antivirus database can be updated on demand or automatically on schedule from Kaspersky Lab Internet servers or from the company’s local servers which are specified by the administrator. Some modules of the antivirus engine can also be updated together with the databases.

The system administrator can control the operation of the application and the antivirus protection status using descriptive HTML reports or by viewing the Windows event log. The frequency with which reports are generated and the information to be included in reports is configured by the system administrator. A report can be stored on the hard drive or sent via email.

The application is configured and administered via the administration console built into Microsoft Management Console (MMC), a convenient management tool familiar to the administrator.

The interactive installation and configuration mode used by the program by default is appropriate for most systems, making it possible to begin normal operation of the program without spending much time on installation and configuration.
