Internet Exchange Messaging Server 5 Enhances Email Security

Lists via the Page
The existence of computer viruses, unsolicited email messages with offensive
content force most organizations to look for secure messaging systems that
provide solutions to these problems.

The Internet Exchange Messaging Server (IEMS) 5 developed by International
Messaging Associates (IMA) is designed to perform virus scanning, spam
control, disclaimer generation, among others.

Virus Scanning
Once the anti-virus module receives a message, it decodes the message
attachment and invokes a third-party anti-virus program chosen and defined
by the administrator. It creates multiple threads for fast and reliable
virus scanning while decoding and performing simultaneous virus scanning on
MIME and non-MIME attachments. The Preprocessor anti-virus module supports
the following anti-virus software: McAfee VirusScan, F-PROT Anti-Virus,
SOPHOS Sweep for Linux and SOPHOS Anti-Virus for Windows.

Spam Protection
The anti-spam module is designed to protect the entire messaging system
against unsolicited junk e-mail. This module enables the system
administrator to create a list of banned or unwelcome IP address(es) using a
configurable GUI (Graphical User Interface). It can also verify the
corresponding name of an IP address during the initial stage of an SMTP
session via reverse DNS lookup, filtering out forged names and eventually
blocking out potential spammers even before they can enter the system.  It
also supports RBL (Real-Time Blackhole List) type databases for optimum
anti-spam protection.

Once a message has been detected carrying a virus or tagged as spam, the
anti-virus and the anti-spam module will either bounce the mail, archive the
mail to a pre-defined quarantine location/folder or delete the mail,
depending on the configuration of the system administrator.

Auto Text Insertion
The Auto Text Insertion Engine provides the system administrator with the
capability to insert disclaimer into messages that pass through the IEMS 5.
Using this feature, messages created by users will automatically include an
administrator-defined disclaimer, which state the confidentiality of the
message to limit the liability of the company that maintains the mail system
where the message originated. The system administrator can add different
disclaimer messages based on the message source channel. The engine allows
the system administrator to insert plain text and/or HTML content. It also
supports non-MIME and MIME message structure types.

With IEMS 5, the system is protected against email viruses and spam mail.
Its Auto Text Insertion Engine allows the system administrator to insert
disclaimer into messages that pass through the IEMS 5.
