MIMEsweeper for SMTP covers all email-based threats to your organization
by combining anti-spam, anti-virus and full content security in one solution:
Best-of-breed anti-spamwith the NEW Edge Server
Our customers demand and deserve the most reactive, hands free defenses available. The Edge Server works in harmony with your current MIMEsweeper for SMTP installation while drawing on thousands of other Edge Servers in the grid to form an impenetrable virtual barrier from which the whole community benefits and the spammers lose out.
The Edge Server is an email firewall. It filters the inbound connection for all the bad stuff that circulates and threatens their infrastructure. It stops spam, viruses and malware and it keeps it all away from their valuable internal networks.
The management of MIMEsweeper for SMTP sits in the safe network and is controlled by the Primary Configuration Server (PCS). The PCS orchestrates the operations of up to 8 Policy Servers (PS) that enforce business policy in the dangerous DMZ. We’re offering our customers the chance to split that PS in to two parts; to move the business processing in to the safe network (where it can happily and safely work with EXCHANGEmanager) and to leave the hygiene elements in the DMZ.
The Edge Server is a set and forget device. Upon installation, it’s set to reject all spam and viruses*; to pass all suspicious mail to the Policy Servers for manual verification or end user release, to deliver all hygienic email to the PS for further policy enforcement, and to encrypt and decrypt mail flowing between trusted partners. Administrators will schedule all the threat reports to be delivered directly to their inbox, the SNMP alerting to link in to the system management processes and the auto-backup facility to make nightly copies of the stored data.
On top of MIMEsweeper for SMTP 5.2 SP3, you will load the new Edge Server Extension Kit [available here] that allows for the correct interpretation of any suspicious mail; you will then switch off your existing anti-spam defenses.
And relax - Clearswift is in control.
We’ll update the Edge Server operating system. We’ll patch the defenses when needed. We’ll update the anti-spam profile. We’ll keep the AV up to date. We’ll protect your communication while you get on and do those other IT things that you do.

Multi-layered Anti-Virus
Viruses, worms and trojans can destroy data, crash systems and burn fortunes.
You need to feel comfortable with your chosen anti-virus solution whether
you deploy one tool or several.
MIMEsweeper for SMTP is designed to work with your chosen anti-virus packages,
making them more effective by ‘exploding’ all email content
before sending it through the anti-virus filter.
With MIMEsweeper, your anti-virus tool can stop viruses deeply embedded
in compressed attachments – the ones that do slip right past simple
anti-virus tools and all of our competition.
And of course, now you have the option of running Kaspersky natively on the Edge Server too.
Anti-virus tools only detect known viruses. With MIMEsweeper
for SMTP, you can also defend against viruses before any patches have
been issued. Find out more about ‘Zero-Day’
protection.
Industry-leading content security
Confidential leaks, inappropriate email, illegal or rights-protected content
– it can all lead to lawsuits, regulatory penalties and loss of
revenues. But no anti-spam or anti-virus solution will catch this kind
of content.
MIMEsweeper for SMTP scans every byte of every email and attachment to
spot every breach of your policy before it comes into or leaves the building.
Nobody scans as deeply or as comprehensively as the leading MIMEsweeper
engine.
Because policy support is so granular, you can set different rules for
different users, then filter according to file size, type, attachments,
sender, specific content or just about anything else you care to create
a policy for.
And of course, if we find something you won’t like, using our incredibly
powerful Roles and Responsibilities functions, we can route all this mail
to an administrator or compliance officer for secure Pre-Review.
