A key component of Microsoft’s anti-spam framework is the Exchange Server Intelligent Message Filter (IMF). This SmartScreen-based technology was specifically developed by Microsoft to help Exchange Administrators reduce the amount of unsolicited commercial e-mail (Spam) received by their users.

Sirana SpamCenter provides Exchange Administrators and end-users a simple, secure, web-based interface to manage the messages blocked by Exchange Server IMF.

Key Benefits

While the Exchange IMF can be a great tool to help your organization cut down on the amount of unwanted spam, it lacks several key management features that are required in order to provide a useful anti-spam system.  Sirana SpamCenter was specifically designed to address these needs – both for email administrators and end-users.

End-user Benefits

• Ensures that anti-spam filters are not blocking key messages by enabling self-management of spam quarantine.
• Reduces the risk of accidentally exposing the organization to viruses and additional spam message traffic load.
• Decreases the daily spam management burden through automatic, personalized message quarantine summary notifications.

Administrator Benefits

• Eliminates administrative time required to research and recover misdirected 'false-positive' email messages.
• Improves security by enabling system-wide Safe Sender and Blocked Sender lists, as well as system policies for spam deletion.
• Reduces risk of Exchange Server low disk issues by automatically deleting messages from the IMF archive directory.
• Decreases future spam by blocking embedded images until end-users remove the message from quarantine.
• Provides insight into spam traffic through detailed management reports.
