Key Differentiators:

Real-time SMTP traffic scan

Panda for Qmail stands out for its real-time virus scanning of inbound and outbound SMTP traffic. All email communication is fully protected from malware in messages, compressed attachments (at any level), attached or embedded documents and even in the message body itself (text or HTML).

Complete and accurate antispam protection

Panda for Qmail incorporates an advanced anti-spam engine based on rules, lists, patterns, Bayesian algorithms and remote learning in order to optimize the accuracy of the spam classification process, and prevent junk mail reaching users' mailboxes. Panda for Qmail detects hoaxes and junk mail that use false NDR messages. It offers serval levels of sensitivity and includes senders and domains in white lists and blacklists and identifies spam in the subject of the message to provide unobtrusive security.

Detection and blocking of malware

Panda for Qmail permanently inspects mail for malware: viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, adware, phishing, dialers, security risks, etc.

The advanced Genetic Heuristic Engine (GHE) in Panda for Qmail detects new threats and isolates suspicious code. It also automatically requests analysis from Panda in order to disinfect threats and notify the sender or recipient of the message in just a few hours.

Flexible protection settings

Panda for Qmail's flexible configuration adapts to your precise needs, allowing you to configure and select the domains and email addresses to scan or exclude from canning, and to completely delete infected messages to prevent saturation of mail servers and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Remote, centralized administration

Panda for Qmail can be managed from two administration consoles in order to facilitate installation and monitoring of incidents and updates across the network.

As well as using the traditional web console based in the Apache server, Panda for Qmail can now be administered from Windows with Panda AdminSecure. This multimedia tool remotely controls the protection level of each mail server and of the rest of Panda's solutions through different view options, graphic reports, warnings, etc. in order to provide a global, real-time view of the protection status of the company.

Complete integration with SMTP servers

New techniques used by malware to spread require perimeter protection which is both 100% reliable and fully compatible with your systems. Panda for Qmail integrates perfectly with Linux SMTP gateways, blocking partially sent messages and detecting messages containing vulnerability exploits without degrading performance of the system.

Optimum performance in Linux gateways

The most innovative software development techniques have been applied to this solution to ensure that it provides maximum and reliable performance in Qmail servers. This is achieved, in part, through its capacity to scan compressed files in memory instead of having to save them disk.
