Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 4.0 Protects Enterprises From
Malicious Threats, Spam and Unwanted Content
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(
BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2004--Symantec Corp.
(Nasdaq:SYMC), the world leader in information security, today
announced Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 4.0, an email security
solution that integrates virus protection, spam prevention and
email content enforcement as it provides high performance,
single-pass scanning of Internet email (SMTP) messages. Symantec
Mail Security for SMTP 4.0 offers enterprises a multi-layered
approach to stop viruses, spam and unwanted content at the earliest
point of entry on to a network, the SMTP gateway layer.
"Today's enterprises need comprehensive virus protection, spam
prevention, and content compliance for Web and e-mail traffic at
the Internet gateway," said Brian Burke, Research Manager, IDC.
"Our research shows that rather than implementing point solutions,
customers benefit considerably from an integrated, all-in-one,
scalable solution like Symantec Mail Security for SMTP."
Laptop Battery "Spam and mass mailer worms from MyDoom to SoBig pose serious
problems for enterprise customers in today's business
environments," said Greg Gotta, vice president, gateway and network
security, Symantec. "Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 4.0 can
protect enterprises from the negative impact these threats can have
on system resources and storage, employee productivity and overall
network security."
— Cloudmark, Inc., the authority in messaging security, announced an agreement today with Message Partners, a leading provider of email security software, that enables it to participate in a global agreement with IBM whereby Message Partners' flagship Message Processing Platform (MPP) can be resold as part of an integrated platform solution on IBM System p™ products for small to midsized businesses, along with an option for Cloudmark's Authority™ engine, abuse solution that blocks spam, carrying emails at the gateway.
Thinkpad Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 4.0 provides a single install
and a clean, intuitive management interface along with the
following new functionality and feature enhancements:
Kaspersky Security for Mail Server protects mail servers and groupware servers from malicious programs and spam. The product includes protection for all popular mail servers, including Microsoft Exchange, Domino, Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix and Exim. The solution can also be used to set up a dedicated mail gateway.
Microsoft -- Mass Mailer Cleanup: Mass mailer worms automatically generate
their own email message along with lethal payloads to spread
rapidly to other unsuspecting email users. Instead of eliminating
just the infected attachment, the mass mailer cleanup feature
safely eliminates the entire message; thereby reducing the volumes
of "viral spam" which can clog mail systems and generate helpdesk
calls from concerned end-users.

Laptop Computers -- Improved Antispam Heuristics: The neural-networks-based
Heuristic Antispam Engine has been further enhanced to detect
today's constantly changing spam content. In addition, regular spam
definition updates will be provided through Symantec's LiveUpdate
service.

Laptop Computer -- Auto-Generated Whitelist: The solution automatically learns
who the trusted sources are for incoming Internet email which
allows the system to avoid scanning known legitimate content using
real-time blacklists and the Heuristic Antispam Engine; thereby
dramatically reducing the chances of false positive detections. In
addition, whitelist support has been enhanced to include support
for email addresses and domain wildcards.
We also offer a wide range of solutions for corporate clients to protect not only workstations, but also file and email servers, email gateways, and proxy servers. Our solutions for business are modular and completely customizable. In addition to our security solutions for computers, we also offer protection for handheld devices (PDAs and Smartphones).
Desktop Computer -- Score-Based Spam Handling: Greater flexibility is provided
for handling heuristically detected spam messages based on the spam
probability value.
Notebooks -- Custom Filtering Rules: Custom message body rules can be
created to help combat spam and control other unwanted content in
email.

disclaimers in email by automatically inserting custom text into
outbound messages.
