Never lose another email

Spam filtering is never 100% right. So what happens when spam filters classify your important mails as spam ? It is either rejected or accepted and quarantined silently both of which are quite undesirable. Openprotect does the right thing by rejecting at SMTP level and at the same time quarantining the mail for you.

Inbound and Outbound Filtering

OpenProtect scans both your incoming as well as outgoing emails. Incoming mails are scanned for spam, viruses, phishing and other malware whereas outgoing mails are scanned for viruses, phishing and other malware.

Simple Analytics

Keep your eye on analytics that matter to you. We have found that most of the time, the multifarious reports that anti spam filters offer are seldom used, not even looked upon. Guess what ? we simplified it to two stats - number and size of different categories of mails. These two stats are the most important when it comes to the wellbeing of mail flow.

How does Openprotect ...

OpenProtect supports any SMTP based e-mail server. For inbound mails, OpenProtect acts as your front facing e-mail server receiving mail, filtering it and relaying it to your email server. For outbound mails, OpenProtect acts as your email smarthost, receiving mail from your mail server and relaying it to the external domains.
You can run Openprotect off a separate physical server running a Linux distribution (We suggest Ubuntu for servers). If not you can run a virtual server using VMWare or Virtualbox.
OpenProtect runs on all Linux distributions (Redhat, RHEL, Centos, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Slackware) on x86 (32-bit) / x86_64 (64-bit) hardware.
