    In my experience the McAfee Security for Email Servers is well suited for the all the types of organization and their employees who main concern is security for their mailing application. As they need to protect the sensitive data sent and receive through mail and also wants to protect their employee and organizations sensitive data. Also, I don't see any scenario where McAfee Security for Email Server is not suited as every organizations wants to protect their data and employee from the many cyber attacks.
