MxUptime Email Security Solutions
MxScanSM for SmarterMail Product Overview
MxScan (for SmarterMail) is an email security software
plugin that provides
enchanced Anti Spam security scanning for SmarterMail email servers. The plugin has been designed to complement the existing SmarterMail Spam Filtering
system by acting as an additional spam filter in SmarterMail. The points assigned
by MxScan will then be used as part of the cumulative spam score in SmarterMail
for further action. MxScan comes with a built in installer and configuration
manager.
The solution consists of 2 main parts. A very lightweight MTA Plugin (MxScanSM.exe)
which moves
the message files to a temporary processing folder and the main scanning engine (MxScanEngineSM.exe) which runs as a Windows Service and then processes the emails
before returning it to the Incoming Queue for normal processing. This biggest advantage
of this model is that it provides a high level of compatibility, has better
performance
and lower CPU cycles
compared to traditional filtering engines that does not use a Windows service.

MxScan for SmarterMail is officially supported
on Windows XP 32 bit and Windows Server 2003 & 2008 (X86 or X64) operating systems. It will
work with all SmarterMail
