SPAM Blocking
Legitimizer
| Instead of having to laboriously enforce corporate signatures in every email client in your organization, Hexamail Guard allows you to configure a corporate signature once and have it automatically added to all outgoing email. This helps prevent additional network traffic from redundant signatures on internal emails and ensures you can be confident that every external email will contain the required signature. | ||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||
Blocker
| In some instances it is desirable to prevent emails to or from certain sources or destination companies. For example, perhaps you wish to ensure that no emails from recruitment agencies or ex-employees reach your staff, or prevent all outgoing emails to a competitor. In other situations it is the contents of the email that requires blocking. This can often be outgoing or incoming offensive material, such as pornography, swearing, or other undesirable material. Blocking works in concert with alerting to ensure that emails can be systematically blocked, stored and a nominated party alerted to the incidence of the blocked email. | ||||||||||||||||||||
|

Censoring
| Loose talk costs money. A poor choice of words in an outgoing email with or without appropriate disclaimers can be a costly business today. Hexamail Guard allows the censoring or offensive or inappropriate words from all outgoing (and optionally incoming) emails, ensuring that your corporate voice is as clean and virtuous as your reputation. | ||||||||||||||
|

Marketing
| Automatically add advertisements and marketing text to the bottom of all outgoing emails. Create and manage mini-email marketing campaigns to get to every eyeball that sees an email from your company! | |||||||||

Alerter
| Do you know what kind of information is leaving your company by email? While many organizations have strict physical security and diligent gatekeepers guarding against physical theft or unauthorized removal of materials, their electronic gatehouse is nonexistent. The alerter allows you to alert specified users to various types of email passing through the guard layer. | |
|
|
Responder
| The responder allows automatic out-of-office responders to be set up for nominated email accounts. These responders include automatic scheduling to allow the responder to be set up in advance and engage/ disengage automatically on the required dates or schedule. | |
Group Distribution
| The Group Distribution module allows powerful group forwarding features, allowing email discussion groups to be setup, including closed, internal and public groups. Sophisticated rules allow you to determine who can and can't send to a group, what sort of content they can send (for example, you may wish to prevent large attachments going to a mobile sales force on dial-up). | |

Router
|
Incoming emails can place a huge burden on the nominated recipient. Often several email addresses are provided publicly for information, questions and other telemarketing activities. More often than not emails arrive to all addresses about a diversity of subjects, with little relationship between the email address and the subject matter. For example, a company-wide email address such as mail@yourcompany.com will receive speculative employment queries, requests for information, invitations to tender, unsolicited junk mail, technical support questions etc. etc.
Having a single nominated recipient quickly results in the recipient becoming over-burdened with email. Studies show that having multiple recipients results in no one giving the incoming message stream the required attention. The solution? Intelligently route each incoming mail based on the nature of the subject, content, and any attachment to the most suitable respondent recipient. Routing uses rules concerning the subject line, contents, and previous message chain to ensure that the correct recipient is initially identified and then continues the correspondence when required. |

| Incoming emails are checked against a configurable routing list. Matching emails are then passed through a Bayesian language detection algorithm to determine the language the email is written with close to 100% accuracy. The email is then rerouted to a different address depending on the language it is written in. | ||||||||||||||

POP3 Reader
| The POP3 reader module automatically downloads emails from any configured POP3 accounts on external servers, and reroutes the emails to any internal mailbox or other external email account. | ||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
Attachments
| The attachment module automatically archives attachments from all email. It also optionally removes the attachment and replaces it with a link allowing the attachment to be served more efficiently from a webserver. This prevents users having to download attachments they don't need or wish to refer to later. Attachments are automatically deduplicated if sent to multiple recipients: you only need store one copy of each file received or sent! | |||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||
Reports
| The reports module provides fully-automatic scheduled reporting of any statistics. | |||||
| The reporting engine employs sophisticated statistical gathering techniques to provide high-performance real-time information about your system. Publishing is into standard HTML format. Archived reports are stored compressed to save space and allow longer term archives to be retained. | |||||
|
|||||
|
|||||
Antivirus
| The antivirus module automatically scans all incoming email attachments for virus, worms and trojans. If identified, the email can be marked so that the end user is aware of the infected content, blocked completely so that the end user cannot inadvertently execute a virus or a script, or the infected attachment can be removed and a comment added to the email to inform the user of the action taken. All processed emails can be optionally stored in a quarantine for later review, resend or deletion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Archiver
| Hexamail Archiver module provides is a centralized automatic email archiving solution. Highly efficient full-text indexing and compression algorithms ensure that the most scalable and high performance email archive is generated entirely automatically from all of your email. Hexamail's email archive software leverages state of the art indexing and compression technology to create the most compact and high performance index of email data. Inferior solutions often simply push emails to relational databases or worse, file systems. Such systems suffer from poor scalability, lengthy query/discovery times and extremely high storage requirements: often requiring more space for the archive than the original emails! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
