Anti-spam Edition: Server-based anti-spam and anti-phishing
Powerful spam protection
GFI MailEssentials is a VBSpam-certified anti-spam solution which protects your users from loss of productivity by implementing multiple anti-spam engines for very high spam blocking with minimal false positives.
Protect your users against the menace of phishing emails
The GFI MailEssentials anti-phishing module detects and blocks threats posed by phishing emails by comparing the content of the spam with a constantly updated database of phishing URLs, to ensure that all the latest phishing emails are captured.
Automatic whitelist management reduces false positives
Whitelists enable you to ensure that email from particular senders or domains are never flagged as spam, permitting more stringent anti-spam rules.
Allow users to whitelist or blocklist emails via public folders
GFI MailEssentials allows users to add senders to the email whitelist or blocklist simply by dragging and dropping an email from them to a public folder.
User-managed spam quarantine
GFI MailEssentials can be configured to quarantine spam emails and send a regular report (or digest) to end users listing what spam was blocked for them and allowing them to manually release emails which they want to receive from the quarantine. End users can also access their own spam quarantine at any time through a web based interface.
Instant view of emails from new senders
The New Senders feature provides users with an instant view of emails sent from people with whom they have not had previous email contact, thereby helping users to better organize emails in their inbox.
