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.
