Transcript
Prior to installation Prior to installation G Data MailSecurity is the software package for complete protection of your email communication. It comprises: G Data MailSecurity MailGateway: The MailGateway is high end virus protection for your email correspondence and thus efficiently and securely blocks the main path for spreading the latest viruses. It operates as a gateway independent of your mail server and can thus be combined with any mail server software under Windows as well as Linux. G Data MailSecurity Administrator: Control software for the MailGateway. The program is a mail gateway for SMTP and POP3 with integrated virus protection. SMTP: Incoming email is no longer sent to the mail server but to G Data MailSecurity MailGateway. After the virus scan, email is forwarded to the mail server from there. G Data MailSecurity can naturally also check outgoing email. To do so, the mail server is configured so that it no longer sends email directly but forwards it to G Data MailSecurity first. The program then takes care of further processing. POP3: You can also use G Data MailSecurity if you retrieve your email using POP3. G Data MailSecurity retrieves the emails on behalf of the requesting program, checks them for viruses and then forwards them to the program. Before the installation you should, of course, think about where you install G Data MailSecurity in the network. While you can use the G Data MailSecurity Administrator software from any point in the network, the installation of the actual MailGateway requires some prior consideration. In general, the MailGateway should ideally be located directly behind your network firewall (if you are using one), that is, the SMTP/POP3 data stream from the Internet via the firewall is sent directly to the MailGateway and distributed from there. ? Please note that you might have to change your firewall configuration (IP address and/or port) so that email traffic is processed using the G Data MailSecurity MailGateway. 5
