[PLUG] Endian UTM Presentation at Central - IMAP filtering

[Lee Marzke <lee@marzke.net>]

At last night's PLUG central presentation on Endian Unified Threat 
Management:
http://plug.4aero.com/Members/lmarzke/plug_utm/index/presentation_view

a question came up about filtering/AV of IMAP email.

The currently supported options on Endian are:

- POP3 filtering of inbound messages via proxy.
- SMTP filtering of inbound/outbound messages via proxy

So if you have an internal SMTP mail server with  IMAP backent  ( like 
Cyrus ) ,  then incoming
email for your domain will be filtered via the SMTP proxy.   You can 
also drop SPAM or HAM
messages into special IMAP  ham/spam folders and the Baysian filter will 
learn and update from
them.  ( These filters are site wide -  if you have many users this is a 
much more effective learning
mode than using a single account like Thunderbird IMAP )

Endian also filters outbound SMTP for AV/virus,  so that any infections 
on your users PC's
are caught.

Filtering IMAP directly on Endian is not currently supported.   This 
should be done by
your IMAP hosting provider. If you require better IMAP filtering for 
your domain contact
me about cloud based alternatives.
