Antispam server protection
Hexamail Guard provides the most comprehensive set of antispam, antiphishing and antivirus features of any server based email gateway software. This provides effective elimination of email threats before they penetrate your organization and allows you to decide on the techniques that are best suited to your email system.
Many spamblockers simply rely on central "finger print" files or lists of IP addresses to block. Often this approach fails to prevent initial outbreaks of new types of spam or spam from new sources. Hexamail employs additional powerful content inspection techniques that read the actual email, ensuring even spam from new IP addresses, or of an entirely new nature is blocked. You can enable Bayesian analysis, DNS based blocklists, keywords and expression matching, sender blacklisting, whitelisting, challenge-response for blocked email, email tagging, email deletion or any combination of the techniques you wish!

Add a powerful Antivirus option to Hexamail Guard, allowing automatic processing of all suspect attachments and elimination of virus, worms, scripts and other malicious content. Hexamail can scan with numerous antivirus engines if installed. Hexamail with antivirus provides customers with total email protection.
Exchange Integration
Hexamail Guard integrates automatically and seamlessly with all versions of Exchange on-premises providing straightforward integration and easy administration. Hexamail can integrate with Exchange 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2000, or 5.5 on the same machine or on a separate server.
SPF Verification
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) fully supported. SPF ensures that email is only accepted if it came from the servers designated by the sending domain's policy. This means you can verify the sender is legitimately allowed to send email from the domain. In particular this can help reduce Phishing, where senders spoof email from another domain.
DKIM Verification
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) checks are performed on any DKIM signed email. This verifies the sender is allowed to send email from the domain specified. It also verifies that the email has not been tampered with or forged. In particular this can help reduce phishing, where senders spoof email from another domain.
SURBL Support
SURBL is an RBL designed to be used to block or tag spam based on URIs (usually their domain names) contained within the message body. It is not a conventional RBL in that it's not intended to block the source of spam messages. Instead, SURBL can be used to block spams based on their message content. http://www.surbl.org/
Bayesian matching
Bayesian pattern matching is used to analyze the entire content of incoming email: this prevents the mistakes made by relying on single keywords or rules whilst ensuring the filters are robust to subtle changes in language, deliberate misspellings and tricks typical in spam. This allows Hexamail software to provide unrivalled accuracy and reliability when detecting spam.
Neural sender matching
Cutting-edge neural network technology is used to identify suspicious sender addresses with high accuracy and incredible performance. Neural sender matching enables high volumes of email to be checked in the shortest possible time.
Automatic Whitelists
Hexamail provides support for multiple sender and recipient white lists. The white list can be imported, manually created or automatically created and kept up to date through analysis of outgoing email traffic. Domain whitelisting is also possible.
Challenge Response
With Hexamail Guard you can optionally enable Challenge-Response features to allow sender verification email to be sent out. Senders can then verify themselves to have their email accepted and whitelist their address to allow all future email to pass through unfiltered.
Image Analysis
Hexamail Guard not only analyses the text of email but also any embedded images, using the structure of the images to determine whether an email is SPAM or not. Increasingly SPAM email consists entirely of images, and so this technique is essential for effective blocking.
Content and Header checks
Hexamail supports multiple sophisticated header, subject and content checks with configurable rules, keyword filtering and phrase matching lists that can be maintained by the administrator.
POP3 Connector
Hexamail can download all your user's POP3 accounts, strip out the SPAM and reroute the email to their corporate mailbox or other email address.
Anti phishing
Hexamail features built in anti-phishing protection by recognizing spoofed email, web links and requests for account details.
Greylisting
Configurable greylisting (or graylisting) support allow rejection of unknown senders and IPs
DNS Blacklists
Hexamail supports any third party DNS based blacklists (DNS BL or real time black hole lists). These databases can be used to block all email from known SPAM sending email servers and open relays. Choose what to do with matching IP addresses, Reject, Block, Mark or Weight. Hexamail Guard supports all real-time blacklist services including: list.dsbl.org, blackholes.intersil.net, proxies.relays.monkeys.com, relays.ordb.org, sbl.spamhaus.org, dnsbl.njabl.org, blackholes.wirehub.net, china.blackholes.us, korea.blackholes.us, taiwan.blackholes.us, blackholes.easynet.nl, multihop.dsbl.org, unconfirmed.dsbl.org, dnsbl.sorbs.net, bl.spamcop.net, rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org, cbl.abuseat.org, spamsources.fabel.dk, dnsbl.njabl.orgt, multi.surbl.org, Customized lists can also be imported or new IP addresses added in a single click from the spam quarantine.
URL DNS checking
URLs contained in the content of email are checked against configurable DNS based databases of known spam hosts. Email is blocked if it contains URLs hosted on webservers known to belong to spammers.
RHSBL checking
Right-Hand-Side blacklist checking againt configurable DNS based databases of known spam domains. Email is blocked if the sender is from a domain known to belong to spammers.
SBS Integration
Hexamail Guard integrates automatically and seamlessly with all versions of Small Business Server providing straightforward integration and easy administration. Hexamail can integrate with SBS 2003, SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 either on the same machine as SBS or on a separate server if required.
Windows Essentials
Hexamail Guard integrates automatically and seamlessly with all versions of Windows Server Essentials providing straightforward integration and easy administration. Hexamail can integrate on the same machine as Windows Server Essentials or on a separate server if required.
Spam Quarantine
SPAM detected by Hexamail can be stored in a quarantine for later review. The quarantine allows the administrator to quickly review and send on or delete large numbers of email with a single click. A special viewing window allows the safe viewing of any suspect email without inadvertently triggering worms, virus or pop ups.
Email Privacy Guaranteed
Unlike many antispam solutions, Hexamail does not send your email to the cloud for processing. Email stays on your network which guarantees privacy of your communications, prevents snooping and industrial espionage, and reduces the risk of hacking.
Mark, delete or forward spam
Mark SPAM subject lines, delete SPAM over a specified match confidence or forward to user's spam folder, public folder or any other email account.
User SPAM review
The administrator can optionally allow some or all users to review their own quarantined SPAM via a web based interface. Users are automatically alerted to new email arriving in their quarantine and can empty their quarantine with a single click from the alert email. Alternatively they can login to a secure web interface to selectively delete SPAM email and accept legitimate email.
Customizable Web Interface
The web based interface is fully customizable through the built in HTML template manager and editor.
Supports all SMTP servers
Zimbra, Zarafa, Kerio mailserver, IMailserver, hMailserver, Lotus Notes, NTMail, SL Mail, QMail, Exim, Lotus Domino 5, LSMTP, MailSite, MDaemon, MetaInfo, Sendmail, MS IMS/IIS, Netscape Messaging Server, NTMail, and Post.Office are all supported by Hexamail. Hexamail can be used in conjunction with any SMTP compatible mail server, allowing you the freedom to choose your email server now and in future.
Unrivaled ease of use
Hexamail is dedicated to changing the way business software works: making it easy and productive to use. This reduces configuration mistakes and saves you time and money.
Server based anti-spam
For a corporate anti-spam policy to be successful it must be enforced at the server level removing the need for client-side installs and end-user training. Not only does this ensure the most straightforward maintenance but also ensures the solution is as cost-effective as possible to deploy.
Automatic Internet updates
SPAM and virus adapt and change every day. Any system to detect and eliminate unsolicited email and virus must be kept up to date. Hexamail's software automatically updates itself over the Internet to ensure the latest SPAM and virus can be stopped.
Outbound filtering
Filter outbound email and block or censor specific email or attachments to prevent corporate data loss.
Active Directory Support
Automatically syncs users with Active Directory and allows single sign-on for the web based quarantine
Remote management
The easy to use sophisticated administration interface can be used on the same machine or from a remote workstation using a secure communications protocol.
DKIM Signing
Hexamail Guard can automatically DKIM sign all outgoing email. DKIM signing is used to ensure email from your domain cannot be spoofed or tampered with. In addition to signing outbound email, Hexamail generates and manages DKIM keys, DKIM _domainkey DNS entries, and Author Domain Signing Practices DNS entries (your domain signing policy).
DMARC support
Full DMARC support is available with an SPF and DMARC DNS record wizard and support for DKIM signing. In addition to signing outbound email, Hexamail generates and manages DKIM keys, DKIM _domainkey DNS entries, and Author Domain Signing Practices DNS entries (your domain signing policy) and DMARC DNS entries.

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.

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!
Compliance
Store 100% of your email in full original MIME format
Discovery
Use the live search facilities to allow users to access their old email
Scalable
Store many years of email in a single server
Compressed
Unique MIME compression algorithms ensure most compact storage

Massively Scalable
Archiving of 100s of millions of emails in a single archiver is possible, allowing many years of emails to be archived on a single server or drive.
Low Storage Requirements
All email content (MIME) is retained compressed, allowing accurate records to be retained while minimizing storage. Emails are automatically deduplicated. Save costs of storages devices, upgrading servers and backup time and facilities.
Fulltext search
Full-text indexing automatically takes place on archiving. This allows your valuable resource of archived emails to be leveraged for knowledge management, auditing and discovery within your organization.
Genuine Archiving
Some inferior archiving solutions simply push email content into a relational database. This can be costly in database licenses, slow to retrieve email and extremely demanding of disk space and other machine resources. Be sure to check the licensing implications and costs of such systems before purchase. Hexamail is a complete solution requiring no third party database licenses.
Secure
Archiving takes place on your servers, within your network. Sensitive emails need never leave your organization, eliminating trust, hacking, or security breach concerns typical of third party service based archive solutions providers.
Active Directory Integration
Active Directory integration allows automatic import of your users and restriction of their access to only their emails
SSL
Full secure SSL access to web based knowledge management, discovery and search interfaces.
Sources
The Archiver module can index email from almost any source including Exchange, maildir, mbox, hMail, iMail, MDaemon, Hexamail, POP3, SMTP, and PST
Exchange 2000-2013

Regulatory Adherence
Full MIME storage ensures your chosen email archive solution adheres to all regulations now and in future. Regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley can be costly to implement, Hexamail Vault eliminates the cost for archiving email in a compliant way.
Backup
A unique index design allows email content to be backed up and removed from the live server to secure/offsite backup facilities. The fulltext index remembers which emails were in which backup files and allows fulltext search even over email removed from the server.
Automated Export
Automated export features allow all email matching specific complex criteria to be exported to directories or zip files for litigation or auditing purposes.
Fulltext Search
Full-text indexing automatically takes place on archiving. This allows your valuable resource of archived emails to be leveraged for knowledge management, auditing and discovery within your organization.
Live Access
Live-access allows your end-users to access the archive through a web-interface and retrieve email they may have deleted or lost in their inbox. This simultaneously ensure valuable knowledge is never lost from your organization, can be quickly retrieved, and users reduces user inbox storage requirements.
