Furthermore, you might choose to quarantine mails carrying *.mp3 or 

*.mpg files, as these hog bandwidth and can needlessly burden a mail 

server s disk space.  

The attachment  checking module  has  effectively saved  thousands  of 

companies from the Love Letter virus. 

Email exploit detection engine 

GFI s  leading  research  on  email  exploits  has  contributed  to  the 

creation  of  GFI  MailSecurity s  email  exploit  detection  engine.  This 

industry first detects emails that contain known email exploits   think of 

it as "email intrusion detection". It therefore safeguards you from any 

current  or  future  email  viruses  and  attacks  that  use  known  exploits. 

GFI MailSecurity is the ONLY email security product to protect against 

email 

exploits.

Automatic removal of HTML scripts 

The  advent  of  HTML  mail  has  made  it  possible  for  hackers/virus 

writers  to  trigger  commands  by  embedding  them  in  HTML  mail.  GFI 

MailSecurity  detects  &  disables  these  commands  and  sends  the 

 cleaned   HTML  mail  to  the  recipient.  GFI  MailSecurity  is  the  only 

product  to  protect  you  from  potentially  malicious  HTML  e mail, 

allowing you to be secure from not only HTML viruses, but also from 

attacks directed at your network via HTML e mail. 

Automatic quarantining of Microsoft Word documents with 

word macros 

GFI  MailSecurity  protects you  from  present  and future Word & Excel 

macro viruses, by automatically quarantining documents with macros. 

This means you can safely allow Word docs and excel spreadsheets 

to  be  sent  via  e mail,  since  if  they  are  potentially  malicious,  you  can 

rest  assured  that  GFI  MailSecurity  will  quarantine  them.  (or  delete  if 

you prefer) 

Virus checking using multiple virus engines 

GFI MailSecurity scans email for viruses using multiple virus engines. 

Scanning  email  at  the  gateway  and  at  mail  server  level  prevents 

viruses  from  entering  and/or  spreading  within  your  network. 

Furthermore,  you  can  avoid  the  embarrassment  of  sending  infected 

emails  to  customers,  as  GFI  MailSecurity  also  checks  outgoing  mail 

for  viruses.  GFI  MailSecurity  includes  the  industrial  strength  Norman 

anti virus  &  Bitdefender  virus  engines  that  has  received  various 

awards.  Optionally  you  can  choose  to  add  the  McAfee  virus  engine. 

Multiple virus engines gives you a higher level of security, since virus 

engines complement each other and lower the average virus response 

time. 

Trojan Executable scanner 

GFI MailSecurity is able to analyze incoming executables and rate the 

risk level of an executable. This way, potentially dangerous, unknown 

Trojans can be detected before they enter your network.
