MicroWorld intros MailScan 5.6 for mail servers

MicroWorld has announced the release of MailScan 5.6 version, the comprehensive content security software for mail servers. MailScan 5.6 has a host of proactive technologies and advanced algorithms. It is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 64 bit platforms and now supports Lotus Domino 8 mail servers too.

MailScan uses content filtering techniques like Greylisting combined with the NILP technology. Greylisting is a method of temporarily blocking mails from unknown senders and accepts the mail only on repeated attempts. NILP based on artificial intelligence analyzes mails to classify them as spam or ham-based on the behavioral pattern of the user. MailScan also has a built-in anti-virus scan engine powered by the MWL technology and an advanced heuristic scanner that scans both inbound and outbound e-mails, for effectively blocking malware at the mail server itself before they can reach the endpoints.
MailScan 5.6 now boasts of a powerful web-based administration console that allows remote administration through a browser. It also enables LDAP and POP3 authentication to authenticate valid users and restrict unauthorized access to quarantined mails.

At the launch event of MailScan 5.6, Govind Rammurthy, CEO and MD, MicroWorld said, “Spam accounts for more than 90 percent of today's e-mail communication. Spammers are adapting various devious techniques to sneak past anti-spam solutions. MailScan 5.6 works on multiple levels to rule out spam and phishing effectively and ensures protection to businesses from spam menace.”
