This solution not only protects your mail server from viruses and, but also as temporary backup, if your mail server goes down. If you still don’t have an Anti-Spam or Anti-Virus running on your e-mail server here is a comprehensive solution for that. Emergic CleanMail (ECM) is an OS, based on Linux platform and has in-built anti-spam and Anti-Virus protection for e-mail servers. Apart from these basic features, it has inbound content and attachment filtering. It gives you the freedom to define your own white and black lists of e-mail addresses and domains. you can also set the algorithm to be uses clam AV and F-prot by default, but if you want, you can also have support for other scannings, such as Sophos, MacAfee, F-secure, etc

This also facilitates you want a feature called Dictionary Check, which in helps you can specify that all mails with a particular word in the subject or body, should be treated as spam. The minimum requriement for the Emergic CleanMail to function, is pentium 4,1 GB RAM 40GB HDD, a network card and of course Internet connectivity. The ECM has to be placed between the Internet and your mail server and maintains logs in a database. The logs register the sender and recipient for each mail, as well as size and status of each mail. Best thing about EVM is that, if supposedly, your mail server goes down, then ECM will queue your e-mails and deliver them, when your mail server comes up again. So, it also works as a buffer for you mail server.

For testing it we ran it on the minimum requires hardware, as mentioned above.The time taken to install ECM was only 15 minutes. The installation was also easy. After that we placed the box on the Internet and opened its browser inter face remotely. Configuring ECM was easy. We set it to relay all e-mail to our local e-mail server. for the test, we fired serveral e-mail server. for the test, we fired several e-mail from one of the test accounts that we had created. It successfully relayed all incoming e-mails to our mail server and blocked all spams success fully. We also tested it for anti-virus and it performed well. we checked for `Dictionary checks’ option and for this we fired many e-mails which we defined as spam, in the rule set of the ECM. for testing the `Mail queue’ option, we temporarily unplugged the server from the network and tested the ECM. It successfully queued up the mail, until the mail server was up again.

Price: Rs 800 Per user per year
Key Specs: Anti-spam, Anti-virus protection Overall, ECM performed well and is worth buying.
