About Spam Filters

The protection service detects spam by applying hundreds of rules to each message that passes through the data center. It can block obvious spam outright, then divert remaining spam to a Quarantine. From there, you or your users can review the Quarantine for any legitimate messages that were falsely quarantined and need to be forwarded to the user’s Inbox. Otherwise, spam is deleted automatically.

About Virus Blocking

Your service includes virus protection which uses the Olympus library, the same technology as McAfee Antivirus software. As an Antivirus Development Partner with McAfee, the email protection service checks for virus definition file updates every minute from McAfee, and typically receives updates before they are available to all McAfee customers.
As a second layer of virus protection, the Authentium Antivirus engine scans all inbound emails which are determined to be clean by the McAfee antivirus engine. The email protection service checks for virus definition updates every minute from Authentium.
