Features
Up to four anti-virus engines
GFI MailEssentials ships with the powerful Avira and BitDefender Antivirus engines, offering advanced technology stack that provides strong email protection against viruses and other malware with minimal impact on system performance.
However for even greater business email protection you can also add in the Kaspersky and Cyren antivirus engines for the ultimate protection. This enables you to take advantage of the strengths of each engine. Antivirus engine vendors have different response times to new viruses and malware. This capability ensures your system can always detect new threats in the shortest possible time.
Advanced malware protection
GFI MailEssentials features advanced malware protection that enables IT admins to secure their email infrastructure from the new breed of malware that creates different variants of itself to avoid detection.
This is done via our scanning engines that can connect to a cloud service whenever it finds unknown executable attachments. These attachments are thoroughly scanned through the intelligent Kaspersky cloud engine to determine if the attachment is malicious or not.
An arsenal of anti-spam filters
GFI MailEssentials features a variety of anti-spam technologies designed to put your mind at rest and make life difficult for spammers.
SPF blocks spoofed emails. Greylisting blocks emails sent with non RFC compliant techniques used by spammers. Directory harvest protection blocks emails sent using random and exhaustive email address-generation techniques. And DNS blacklists utilize a wealth of information gathered from distributed community data collection techniques to fend off botnet spamming.
Furthermore spam razor determines if an email is spam utilizing email reputation, bulk email detection, spamming technique detection and extensive content analysis, while Bayesian filtering uses a mathematical approach based on spam and ham (legitimate email).
GFI MailEssentials also includes a 'Language Detection' plugin, that detects and blocks spam in specific languages. Combining these technologies yields a spam detection rate of more than 99 percent.

GFI MailEssentials is compatible with different email servers, not just Exchange. It fits seamlessly into your current setup—whether on-premise, virtual, or hosted in your cloud infrastructure. IT admins are in full control of their email security.
