Dr.Web Mail Gateway. Antivirus&Antispam

Jun 29, 2009 at 1:45 PM

Dr.Web Mail Gateway is a complex modular solution for processing and filtering of incoming and out-going SMTP/LMTP traffic on servers under UNIX-systems (Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris(x86). Depending on the network architecture, Dr.Web smtp-proxy can be installed both in the demilitarized zone (DMZ), and in the local company network. Installation of Dr.Web smtp-proxy on a separate company server increases stability of the mail filtering system’s operation, considerably increases general company security, extends capabilities of the solution itself. Depending on the set of connected plug-ins Dr.Web Mail Gateway can filter e-mails for viruses and spam. License variants: anti-virus, anti-virus&anti-spam.

Wide range of supported OS and mail systems

Dr.Web Mail Gateway is compatible with Linux distribution (version glibc 2.3 and above), FreeBSD versions 5.x, 6.x, Solaris version 10 (for Intel platform only).
The modular structure of Dr.Web Mail Gateway allows users with any mail system to use this solution, even those falling outside the supported mail systems' list, for which a qualified user can develop its own plug-in. Even more, the system can be installed prior to the mail system - i.e. it can itself receive e-mails, analyze and send.

Dr.Web is not anti-virus only!

Dr.Web Mail Gateway is a complex for the protection of corporate mail systems. Depending on the set of connected plug-ins, Dr.Web Mail Gateway can perform the following functions:

Scan mail messages for viruses, spam and unsolicited e-mails. Both the message itself and the attachments to it, if any, are scanned regardless of their nesting level. Depending on the scanning result the message can be delivered to the mail box, blocked or modified. Dr.Web Mail Gateway has a unique spam-filtering technology that is ready to go. Dr. Web anti-spam requires no initial tuning or setup by the user; it begins working effectively upon install. Spam-filtering module does not require connection with any external server or database; this helps save on traffic substantially.

Whitelists\Blacklists

Parse e-mail messages and then analyze each of its components

Correctly process majority of known archives, including multi-volume or self-extracting (SFX)

Send notifications on the scanning results to recipients and\or third persons using notification templates

Keep logs of events

Self-protect its modules against malfunctioning

Detect and remove malicious codes, including mass-mailing worms, e-mail viruses, peer-to-peer viruses, Internet worms, file viruses, Trojans, stealth viruses, polymorphic viruses, bodiless viruses, macro viruses, ms office viruses, script viruses, spyware, spybots, password stealers, paid dialers, adware, riskware, hacktools, backdoors, keyloggers, joke programs, malicious scripts, other malware.

Possibility to connect unlimited number of plug-ins

Dr.Web Mail Gateway allows you to extend the functionality of the solution to an unlimited extent. Any newly developed plug-in will operate with all supported MTA.

Open-source solution

Dr.Web Mail Gateway is based on the system of plug-ins open for independent developers. Any qualified users can implement those necessary for his functionality in the form of a plug-in using SDK supplied with the complex.

Flexible settings and ease of administration

Dr.Web Mail Gateway contains a flexible system of settings allowing you to perform any possible set of rules. An administrator can specify these rules directly, via configuration rules.

Outstanding scalability

can meet the requirements of both small companies with only one server and as well as large transnational telecoms with unlimited mail traffic. Its efficiency, flexible settings and filtering capability with huge volumes of e-mail traffic on-the-fly means it can comply with even the highest demands.

High productivity and stable operation

Due to the multi-threaded scanning function Dr.Web Mail Gateway can process huge volumes of e-mails simultaneously. Its modular structure makes its disabling almost impossible (by the direct attack too). Low system resources requirements allows Dr.Web Mail Gateway to smoothly function on mail servers of almost any configuration.

Unique technologies!

VadeRetro unique technology (developed by Goto Software, France) allows it to avoid using blacklists, which makes the intentional compromising of companies by adding them to blacklists impossible. Dr.Web Mail Gateway can change its behavior depending on the envelope of the processed e-mail, or the detected blocking objects.
