Kerio Mail Server offers modern e-mail services, such as e-mail access via IMAP protocol, secure web interface or a cellular phone with WAP support. It also allows for creating public folders or setting up automatic replies.

Key Features

Secure e-mail communication

All e-mail transfers can run on encrypted channels as any mail service (SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, WebMail) can be run in a secure mode, where data is encrypted using SSL.

Anti-virus control of e-mail

Support for Anti-virus systems makes Kerio Mail Server a secure shield to prevent spreading of computer viruses. By checking both incoming and outgoing e-mail the risk of virus infection is much lower for external addressees as well. Anti-virus check is of course performed even with e-mail sent within the local network, which eliminates the risk of infection of the network in case the virus has not been originally brought in by e-mail. Kerio Mail Server supports a range of top anti-virus products using plug-ins developed with help from anti-virus software vendors:

Filtering dangerous attachments

In addition to anti-virus control, Kerio Mail Server can check e-mail directly and remove potentially dangerous attachments. Filtering is performed for all files according to their extensions (e.g.. .exe, .com or .vbs, a favorite among virus authors). This might be desirable in case, for instance, when anti-virus software is not yet aware of a new virus and classifies a potentially dangerous attachment as safe.

Filtering according to contents

An effective way of protecting users from e-mail containing nuisance or unwanted messages is filtering according to the sender's or addressee's e-mail address, subject, contents or size of e-mail. In combination with filtering dangerous attachments this can protect users from the latest viruses.

Anti-Spam Protection

A great issue on the Internet is misusing mail servers to send unwanted e-mail spam. Kerio Mail Server offers two ways to check the sender authentication of users according to their IP address, suitable for local networks, and authentication using username and password, suitable for mobile users.

Protection from external spam servers

To protect users from unwanted e-mail public databases, called blacklists, have been established listing unreliable or insecure mail servers. Kerio Mail Server can check each e-mail against a blacklist to find out whether it comes from an unreliable source. If this is the case, Kerio Mail Server either receives or refuses the mail or writes this event into a log file, according to settings. Kerio Mail Server supports three major MAPS database (RBL, RSS and DUL). The mail server administrator can choose any combination of these servers and also add their own lists of unreliable servers.

Mail Backup at the server

Kerio Mail Server can make backup copies of all e-mail (both incoming and outgoing) in its own directory or at any other server. Therefore, even in case of data loss at a workstation, all e-mail remains available to all users.

Kerio Mail Server runs on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP and Linux RedHat 7.0 operating systems.
