SPAMfighter Mail Gateway

SPAMfighter Mail Gateway integrates perfectly with the company’s existing e-mail infrastructure to secure the company e-mail environment. It is easy to install and use with no daily maintenance tasks needed. SPAMfighter Mail Gateway is based on SPAMfighter’s unique world-wide community with over 8 million users.

Using the same layered architecture as SPAMfighter Exchange Module, this solution differs by being capable of working together with any SMTP mail server on the market.

A design criteria used throughout the application is an emphasis on performance. Competing products with similar capabilities is often satisfied with being able to handle 1000 e-mails per minute on stock hardware – SPAMfighter Mail Gateway excels by being clocked at 3500+ e-mails per minute.
