GFI MAX MailProtection is a hosted e-mail security and continuity solution that is compatible with any e-mail system and can be implemented in just minutes. GFI MAX MailProtection's industry-leading technology ensures the optimal filtering of unwanted or harmful messages. At the same time, its customizable management interface and innovative features, such as one-click whitelisting, ensures that the solution is intuitive and simple to use. The cost of this powerful layer of protection is priced at just cents per day, and is based upon the number of e-mail accounts being protected. GFI MAX MailProtection includes spam filtering, protection against viruses, and a true e-mail continuity service which acts as an 'always available' e-mail solution.

GFI MAX MailProtection stops spam, viruses, and other e-mail threats before they reach the network or mail server. Incoming e-mail is redirected to its fully redundant network and application architecture, which processes messages in real-time via both traditional spam filtering techniques and leading-edge approaches to message analysis including authenticity checks, message fingerprinting, heuristic rule sets, extensive URI databases, real-time message source analysis, and customizable whitelists and blacklists.

Service Features


  • In the GFI MAX MailProtection control panel, you can add, edit, or remove e-mail addresses, and manage the service's local settings.

  • Almost all spam and e-mail threats can be blocked before they reach your network, which reduces risk, increases network bandwidth, and minimizes e-mail server load.

  • You can continue accessing, responding to, and sending e-mail messages with attachments, even in the event of an on-premise mail server failing.

  • Blocks new or emerging "zero hour" virus threats before those threats can be detected by traditional signature-based AV solutions.

  • Reduces the volume of junk e-mail getting through to your employees, so it is easier for them to access messages, especially on cell phones.

  • The intuitive management panel provides access to quarantined messages as well as to queued mail in the event of a mail server failure.

  • You can view an automatically e-mailed summary of detected spam messages. In the event of a false-positive entry, you can click a link next to the message to release it from the quarantine.

  • Works with any operating system or mail infrastructure including Exchange, Lotus Notes, GroupWise, Zimbra, qmail, postfix, sendmail and any other SMTP servers.
