SPAM: Change is coming
|
|
When FTGate Technology started supplying mail servers, eleven years ago, there was no such thing as spam. When you received a message you knew that it was most likely to be a genuine message that you should take time to read. The world was a nice place where everyone was trusted to only send you messages if they thought you wanted to get them. eMail was cheap, quick and efficient. The Internet was designed with this in mind, protocols were open, easy to implement and had no security at all.
Then things began to change. The low cost of sending an email, essentially nil, made it very cost effective to send millions of emails with a marketing message. At first no one really took any notice, one odd email of spam was not a problem. But it didn't stop there, it grew.

FTGate4 as a DMZ relay
|
|
Many organizations use a firewall configured with a DMZ to act as a connection point between the LAN and the Internet. The DMZ allows services that must be available for connection to the Internet to be seperated from the LAN portion of the network and thus prevent direct access from the Internet to LAN machines.

FTGate4 as an MX relay
|
|
The Internet DNS system allows mail servers to designate which servers will accept mail for a particular domain. Often it is desirable for an administrator to configure additional machines that will accept mail and hold the mail for later delivery to the main server. This permits the administrator to shut down the main server without the loss of incoming mail or in the event of a network problem, store mail until the problem can be resolved.

Shared Folders
|
|
FTGate now offers groupware as standard. An important aspect of groupware is the ability to share folders. Shared folders allow users collective access to mail and an effective way to keep informed and share information. FTGate uses Access Control Lists to restrict access to shared folders, for example you can just allow one or two users to be able to put messages into a folder, but allow a broader range of people the ability to read the what is there.
