Filtering for viruses, phishing and spam
SURFmailfilter enables you to easily check all the institution's incoming and outgoing e-mail and to filter it for viruses, phishing and spam. This is done before the e-mail is delivered to your institution's e-mail server, or right after the e-mail is sent via your server. At least 95% of spam is detected this way. SURFmailfilter is available for IPv4 and IPv6.
You don't need your own spam filter anymore
SURFmailfilter is a centralised service that runs at SURF, meaning that connected institutions no longer need to run their own spam or virus filtering. The system also collects your incoming e-mail if your mail server is down temporarily.
Many setting options
You can set the filter properties per domain or subdomain via a web interface and decide what should be done with the filtered messages. You can also give staff and students the option of setting their own filtering rules, also via a web interface.
Who is SURFmailfilter for?
SURFmailfilter is available for all institutions that are connected to the SURF network and is used by IT administrators.
