Support for SPF – the Sender Policy Framework
As most of today’s spammers spoof email addresses, it is
important to be able to check whether an email is genuine or
if it has been sent from a forged sending address. This can be
done via the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), which allows
users to test whether a particular email originates from its
claimed source. GFI MailEssentials is one of the first
commercial anti-spam solutions to support this framework. Its
SPF module automatically checks whether the mail from a
particular company was actually sent by its registered mail
servers. For more on SPF, visit http://www.openspf.org.

Set priorities for each anti-spam module
You can configure which method of capturing spam is to be
given priority, and create your own hierarchical list. For
example, the administrator can select that the whitelisting
anti-spam feature must be applied first to all incoming mail,
then Bayesian scanning, and so on.

Automatic whitelist management reduces false
positives
positives
Whitelists enable you to ensure that email from particular
senders or domains are never flagged as spam, permitting
more stringent anti-spam rules. GFI MailEssentials includes
a patent-pending automatic whitelist management tool, which
automatically adds outgoing mail recipients to your whitelist.
This greatly reduces false positives, without any need for
additional administration. Whitelists can also be built based
on domain names, email addresses and keywords.

Instant view of emails from new senders
The New Senders feature provides users with an instant view
of emails sent from people they never had previous contact
with, thereby helping users to better organize emails in their
email client. If an email is not found to be spam by the GFI
MailEssentials anti-spam modules and is also not on the
whitelist, then the New Senders module has the ability to move
the email to a user's subfolder, for example,
Inbox\NewSenders.

Eliminates directory harvesting
Spammers often try to guess recipient addresses by generating
multiple random email addresses at a domain; they then send
their spam mail to all those addresses. GFI MailEssentials
checks the validity of ALL the email addresses included in the
mail sent, either via a query to Active Directory or through
support for LDAP, and if they are not all valid, marks the mail
as spam.

Reports on spam filtering and email usage
The database-driven reporting engine allows you to create
advanced reports on your inbound and outbound email. You
can report on the amount of spam filtered and on rules which
caught most spam. You can also generate reports on user,
domain and mail server usage.
