Kaspersky Lab, a leading provider of information security solutions, has recently released Kaspersky Mail Gateway version 5.6. This latest multi-functional solution will protect corporate email systems from malware and spam.

In addition to effective antivirus protection, this solution also features email routing and spam scanning capabilities, which can protect corporate email servers from unauthorized use. At the same time, it can also serve as a multi-functional email router for Linux and FreeBSD systems.

Kaspersky Mail Gateway version 5.6 not only includes the award-winning high-performance spam filtering module — Kaspersky Anti-Spam 3.0 — but also employs an optimized mail reception mechanism that significantly reduces system resource usage while supporting more concurrent connections.

The email filtering optimization used in Kaspersky Mail Gateway version 5.6 can identify and thwart spammers' attempts to bypass anti-spam protections by analyzing email headers, graphic file attachments, and utilizing UDS (Kaspersky's unique Urgent Detection System) to obtain the latest spam information in real-time.

Moreover, Kaspersky Mail Gateway version 5.6 has made many improvements in enhancing product management flexibility and ease of use, particularly by adding options for setting unified configurations for different user groups: administrators can enable or disable individual filtering rules and define specific email processing rules according to the needs of user groups. By allowing administrators to define parameters for communication with other network components, including limiting the number of concurrent connections, Kaspersky Mail Gateway version 5.6 can protect user networks from hacker-type attacks (such as DOS attacks).

The built-in email proxy makes the product easier to install and configure, even for system administrators with limited experience operating Linux or FreeBSD systems. Flexible system configuration allows administrators to adjust application operation parameters based on email traffic and corresponding security policies — providing users with the highest performance and maximum protection.
