We are working on the new version of the ScanMail Utilities. You can follow the progress on our ScanMail Blog
What are the ScanMail Utilities?
ScanMail Utilities are a vast collection of email filtering and administrative applications working in unison to scrub incoming and outgoing messages for spam and viruses on Unix based mail servers that use the Milter API. With well over 100 tests and features, ScanMail Utilities uses all of the basic filtering techniques such as:
blocking by IP address
blocking by domain name
blocking by keywords and phrases
blocking by blacklist
blocking of attatchments
And combines them with more acute tests like:
rejection by message size restriction
rejection if the "to" and "from" addresses are the same
rejection if "to" address fails to match any user on the system
test to see if the message sender is a valid user on the sending server
validates that the sending domain has a valid MX record
As well as several different third party filtering software including:
Vipul's Razor
ClamAV
DCC (Distributed Checksum Clearing House)
Spamcop blacklist
SURBL blacklist
Bayesian Filter
And much more to make the ultimate email filtering system. The capabilities and techniques of ScanMail Utilities are just too vast to list here, but can be found in the features section.
What do you mean by "administrative functions"?
ScanMail Utilities has several administrative features built into it. By administrative feature, we mean one that does not contribute to the filtering process. One company that purchased ScanMail Utilities utilized a feature which allowed a copy of a designated users incoming and outgoing messages to be sent to a third address from email blast software, in order to catch and prevent an employee from selling the companies secrets to a competitor. The built in administrative features assist system administrators with managing the email almost any way they choose. Some of the administrative features include but are not limited to:
Files containing regular expressions for keyword and phrase restriction get checked for regex errors.
Have a copies of the incoming and outgoing messages of designated users sent to a third address for monitoring.
The ability to clean out work directories through the ScanMailmd daemon.
The ability to have automatic deletion of rows in MYSQL Tables based on date.
The ability to recover any rejected message with ease.
The ability to rewrite outgoing messages using only the servers IP address.
Automatic Repair of MYSQL Tables
The ability to add more fields to the statistic format list
