SPAM Blocking
Hexamail's server antispam filter eliminates the cost, time and frustration your workers spend on unsolicited email (junk/spam) by blocking the majority of spam email before
they ever reach your mailserver.
Hexamail's multilayered antispam filtering ensures the best of breed techniques are used to provide total protection from all email bourne threats including spam, malware, spoofing, phishing and virus.
Automatic built in heuristics are combined with admin and user configurable rules and optional features such as greylisting and challenge response to allow you to tailor your spam solution to your exact needs.
Unlike the majority of other antispam solutions, Hexamail is a server software solution that runs on your network so your email is never sent to the cloud
or any third party servers for analysis. This ensures your privacy is guaranteed, eliminates any additional latency in receiving email and prevents your
email being dependent on a third party service that can suffer downtime or hacking.
Integrated analysis of outgoing email traffic ensures false positives are minimized by automatic whitelisting.
