Patrizia -> GFI MailSecurity 9 (30.May2006 4:52:44 AM)

What's new in GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP 9?
  1. Web-based configuration, monitoring and quarantine view. With this web-based configuration the administrator will be able to configure, monitor and manage quarantined items remotely from any PC.
  2. Administrators can create Quarantine Search Folders very similar to the MS Outlook Search Folders. Using the search folders, administrators can manage their quarantined emails better and faster. For example, they can configure a search folder for emails quarantined by Virus Checking and a folder for emails quarantined by Attachment Checking; in this way administrators can prioritize which folders they need to look into first (Attachment Checking in this case) and action immediately.
  3. Ability to make searches within the quarantined emails for emails for/from certain users etc. GFI MailSecurity provides the facility to conduct searches within all emails that it quarantines. Such searches can be performed among inbound or outbound emails to or from a particular user, for instance. Searches can also be carried out based on sender, recipient and also quarantine reason, freeing the administrator from the need to go through all quarantined emails one by one.
  4. Now when an email is quarantined, a full threat report is shown in the Quarantine. This means that if there is an email contains an attachment that has been quarantined by Attachment Checking and the Trojan Engine, the administrator can then see the full threat report identified for this email.
  5. The product has been re-engineered and it can now scan emails much faster on machines that have two or more processors.
  6. The Quarantine system is now much faster than the one in GFI MailSecurity 8.
