Features of GFI MailEssentials – UnifiedProtection Edition and Anti-Spam Edition


Powerful spam protection
GFI MailEssentials is a VBSpam-certified anti-spam solution which protects your users from loss of productivity by implementing multiple anti-spam engines for very high spam blocking with minimal false positives.
Protect your users against the menace of phishing emails
The GFI MailEssentials anti-phishing module detects and blocks threats posed by phishing emails by comparing the content of the spam with a constantly updated database of phishing URLs, to ensure that all the latest phishing emails are captured.

Automatic whitelist management reduces false positives
Whitelists enable you to ensure that email from particular senders or domains are never flagged as spam, permitting more stringent anti-spam rules.
Allow users to whitelist or blocklist emails via public folders
GFI MailEssentials allows users to add senders to the email whitelist or blocklist simply by dragging and dropping an email from them to a public folder.
User-managed spam quarantine
GFI MailEssentials can be configured to quarantine spam emails and send a regular report (or digest) to end users listing what spam was blocked for them and allowing them to manually release emails which they want to receive from the quarantine. End users can also access their own spam quarantine at any time through a web based interface.
Instant view of emails from new senders
The New Senders feature provides users with an instant view of emails sent from people with whom they have not had previous email contact, thereby helping users to better organize emails in their inbox.

Features of GFI MailEssentials – UnifiedProtection Edition and EmailSecurity Edition

Virus checking with multiple scanning engines
GFI MailEssentials uses multiple antivirus engines to scan inbound email. This drastically reduces the average time required to obtain the latest virus signature, enabling a faster response to combat the latest threats. Each antivirus software engine has a different response time to each new virus, depending on where the virus was discovered, and other factors.
GFI VIPRE Antivirus and BitDefender included
GFI MailEssentials ships with the GFI VIPRE and BitDefender antivirus engines.





Scan for email exploits, trojans and malicious executables
GFI's Email Exploit Engine builds on our research into email exploits, safeguarding you from attacks which specifically target vulnerabilities which can utilize email as a vector. This technology is specifically built from the ground up to protect against email based attacks, as opposed to various email protection technologies on the market which were originally built to protect against file based or other endpoint based attacks.
Automatic removal of HTML scripts
HTML email makes it possible for hackers and virus attackers to trigger commands by embedding them in HTML. GFI MailEssentials checks for script code in the body of an email message disabling these commands before sending the cleaned email on.



Protect against spyware
GFI MailEssentials protects you against spyware through its unique battery of email protection technologies, including multiple antivirus engines, as well as other technologies built specifically to protect against email based attacks, such as an email exploit engine, trojan and executable scanner, and HTML sanitization.
Flexible options to deal with malware
GFI MailEssentials gives you the flexibility to choose what to do with malware.




Administrator friendly malware quarantine
McAfee, Kaspersky and Norman antivirus engines (optional)
Norman Sandbox for enhanced malware detection
Granular user-based email content policy enforcement
Custom quarantine filters
Search inside quarantined emails
