Spam and Virus protection
The best spam prevention techniques on the market today use SPF in “strict mode” (and to lesser extent mechanisms such as Friends System) to only accept mail from someone confirmed to be who they say they are, combined with trainable message content-based filtering. EsoMail offers advanced features to identify undesirable spam email, block virus infected mail and prevent abuse of your mail by spammers.

SPF + Open Relay database check

SPF allows you to check that someone sending you mail is who they say they are. EsoMail has unique features that combine SPF with grey-listing and the allow mechanism to ensure there is minimal impact on valid mail. In particular, using greylisting EsoMail will to automatically start accepting mail from real mail servers, so using the mechanism any valid end users whose message has been blocked is able to add their IP address so that subsequent messages are accepted. It is important that you have SPF settings correctly configured. If they are not correctly configured you may conclude that SPF is “ineffective” or “stops too much real mail”. EsoMails integrated and flexible open relay database checking can be used to enforce servers blacklisting or whitelisting in one or more ORBS databases.

In addition, this can be used to mark messages with a header which can then be taken into account in the ASpam “SpamDetect rating” calculation. An ORBS database is simply a DNS server that returns a positive response if a server is listed in the database. A variety of services are available online that can maintain blacklist databases. Normally you would maintain your own whitelist database that overrides the blacklist listings.

Scan messages for viruses

EsoMail has a variety of mechanisms integrated with external virus scanners.

POP3

Access multiple email accounts centrally! POP retrieval allows you to collect mail from other POP mail accounts and deliver locally. Users can configure their own settings for POP retrieval directly from webmail.

IMAP4

IMAP4 Server data storage. All messages remain on the server until removed (moved to “local folders” or deleted). All messages and folders are available through Webmail. Automatically synchronized via webmail. Again, storage and security – so all mail is always stored on the servers and storage devices – backup is easy! SPAM management – Messages can be automatically moved to a “Spam” folder, which is automatically cleaned. Example: In your folder list in Webmail you create a folder, that folder is actually created on ESO Server, therefore, all back-up and spam management apply.

Mobile Webmail

Account Creation on Apple Devices

Esomail also includes a “one-click” configuration for Apple iOS devices. Setting up an iPhone account is now easy whether you are using CalDAV / CardDAV / IMAP.

This feature means that mail users can now configure their iOS device with CalDAV / CardDAV / IMAP as a single service.
