Without a doubt spam (junk email) is a huge problem for businesses - spam wastes valuable work hours and puts your business at risk for security breaches.
Unlike other small business servers which make you pick the pieces and integrate them yourself, NitixBlue bundles one of the strongest sets of antispam tools around. NitixBlue has for years integrated the Vircom content scanning, but to better fight the growth of spam they’ve now added Engate’s network-level scanning.
Engate’s MailSentinel catches spam by evaluating profiling the network properties of a message. For example lets say you get a message from accounts@paypal.com, Engate will see if that message originated from a Paypal server or spoofed the data - then tosses out the illegitimate emails.
The results? By combining both industry leading network and content level antispam, small businesses can get 99% or greater effectiveness from their antispam protection. Unlike other solutions this doesn’t require an expensive additional filtering box, no complex setup, and simple inexpensive licensing.
