Reduces the storage space needed for mailboxes while protecting clients' email

Trusting in the protection installed on the clients is simply not an option, as this uses a large amount of storage resources and bandwidth. Worse still, if just a single workstation is infected, the entire company's reputation is at risk.

Transparent incremental updates

Panda for Sendmail automatically checks every hour, without administrator intervention, if there is an update available. Incremental updates of the virus signature files reduce total bandwidth usage and mitigate communication peaks.

Remote, centralized administration

Panda for Sendmail 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, Panda for Sendmail can now be administered from Windows with Panda AdminSecure.

Optimized performance

Its innovative design supports multiprocessor machines and scans all types of compressed files in memory much faster than when the files are copied to the hard disk.

Latest-generation technology

Panda for Sendmail can be installed directly on the computer using the SMTP gateway, in any Linux server or the filter installed in another server can be shared across several gateways.

This is thanks to MilterAPI, an application programming interface for content management, which helps it integrate perfectly in Linux systems, making Panda for Sendmail the ideal choice for these platforms.
