1.3 Installation options
MailGate is a mail server service with an own queue management. It can
communicate with other mail servers (MTAs) via the SMTP protocol.
Therefore there is a multitude of possible combinations. In a lot of cases MailGate
works as a simple mail relay with integrated filter functions.
There are two special installation options, which allow a direct integration into an
existing mail server.
Postfix Content-Filter
Sendmail Milter
The combination with postfix has proven itself in most customer cases. Sendmail is
used in more special cases and first of all on Unix system like solaris.
Which option should be used in which cases?
Both options can be adjusted very easily to different hardware types. They are used
in small networks but also in large enterprises. The respective MTA keeps the main
tasks concerning the mail traffic. MailGate is integrated via a redirection which is able
to move threats into the quarantine or to block them directly (via sendmail milter).
