Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange combines spam prevention, content filtering, and award-winning antivirus technologies to provide an integrated mail security solution for Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers.Virus protection defends against new and known viruses using Symantec's extensible NAVEX antivirus technology, and attachment and subject line blocking capabilities enhance protection by providing hour-zero responses against emerging threats. In addition, a Mass-Mailer Cleanup rule detects and eliminates worm-infected viruses.Multi-layered spam prevention combines heuristics-based detection, custom filtering rules, and real-time blacklists and whitelisting to maximize spam detection and minimize false positives. Once analyzed by the heuristics engine, messages can be handled in different ways depending on the Spam Confidence Level (SCL) assigned. Unwanted content can also be controlled through flexible, rules-based content filtering. Messages can be filtered based on message characteristics, including subject line, attachment type, message size, and body text. Content filtering prevents unwanted content from entering-and confidential information from leaving-the network.Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange provides full support for Exchange 2003, including the new VS API 2.5 and SCL functionality. It can be centrally managed through a multi-server console, enabling simultaneous updates to all Microsoft Exchange server settings across the enterprise.Award-winning Symantec antivirus technologies enable administrators to update dynamically, without stopping scan services or incurring server downtime.
