Email Filtering for SMB
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Mailprotector is our first line of defense. Keeping spam and malicious emails from reaching the server is a top priority for us. Mailprotector allows us to route all inbound messages through their servers first and safely quarantine the spam and phishing messages. Customizable sensitivity settings and filtered email reports helps keep our end users happy while keep the unwanted messages out of their inboxes.
