E-Mail Filtering & E-mail filtering with Archiving & Continuity

Datastore365 E-mail Filtering

Datastore365’s email filtering service allows you to control inbound and outbound e-mail, protect against viruses and spam and in conjunction with our archiving & continuity service will allow you to access your inbox over the web in the event of a mail server failure.

Stopping spam before it reaches your mail server improves your bandwidth and reduces the load on your mail server.

Datastore365’s email filtering service has a sophisticated rules engine that allows you to completely customise how mail flows to and from your organisation. You can set up rules to inspect the content of e-mails, investigate attachments, size, headers and take appropriate actions such as deliver, drop, quarantine and notify. There are over 20 conditional triggers that can be set up. An example may be to quarantine e-mails over a certain size and notify the administrator.

Archiving & Continuity Option

The email archiving & continuity service from Datastore365 addresses the three main challenges of email usage: regulatory compliance, storage and internal policy management. All this without the cost and complication of managing and maintaining an archiving system in house. Simply backing up your email is not sufficient if you are obligated to keep all incoming and outgoing emails for legal or regulatory compliance.

Access levels can be set to restrict access to the mail archive. These rights can range from providing all users with easy access to their own archives though a comprehensive web interface, through to manager / team leader access with the ability to view all archived mail. No mail can ever be deleted from the archive. Email archiving & continuity can also be used for business continuity. Should your mail server become unavailable for whatever reason, you can continue to send and receive emails via the archive control panel. When an employee leaves, his or her replacement can be given access to the departed employee’s archived messages in order to preserve correspondence records.
