FTGate5 – Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus

The latest estimates are that each mail user spends between ten and twenty minutes per day deleting spam from their inbox. In a small business with 25 employees, this equates to 500 minutes of every day or 1 working day in total. This is equivalent to employing one member of staff to do nothing but delete junk mail.

 

FTGate5 can practically eliminate the spam from your network

 

FTGate5 includes a powerful anti-spam and anti-virus filter system, which is constantly updated to cope with the ever-changing war against spammers. Effective new anti-spam weapons such as grey-listing and SPF combine to eliminate over 99% of spam on your network.

 

FTGate5 also includes the latest generation of the acclaimed UbeBlock analyser, which examines the sources and content of messages and can be configured to virtually eliminate your spam, thus freeing up your staff to concentrate on their assigned tasks.

 

FTGate5 Anti-Virus support

 

The biggest risk to your computer network is through email borne viruses. These can inflict huge damage to both the data on your network and your ability to use or communicate over your network. Should a virus be sent out from your network, the damage to your reputation could be incalculable.

 

FTGate has the ability to use your existing anti-virus package installed on the server machine to scan incoming and outgoing message for viruses. You can select to scan all the attachments or just some, and also specify whether to delete or to quarantine the messages.

 

The rapid rate at which viruses can spread can sometimes lead to a virus being sent to your system before your anti-virus vendor has had a chance to update their scanners to detect it. To combat this, FTGate allows you to specify a set of dangerous attachment types and how you want to handle them. Thus if a message arrives with a .scr (screen saver) attachment (a popular virus carrier) you can choose to delete or quarantine the message or Purge (remove) the attachment from the message before completing delivery.

 

This range of features allows a comprehensive anti-virus policy which can eliminate the risk of viruses infecting your local network.

Of course, because you can use your existing anti-virus package, this means that you do not have to pay for new costly anti-virus subscriptions, this saving you time and money.
