Protection

Multi-layered inbound protection.

SpamDuster inspects every incoming message โ€” content, links and attachments โ€” and stops spam, malware and phishing before it reaches the inbox. The same protection runs in SpamDuster Cloud and on the On-Premise Inbound appliance. Here's everything it does.

๐Ÿงน

Spam filtering

Adaptive scoring, reputation checks and greylisting stop unwanted bulk mail before it reaches the inbox โ€” and learns from what your users mark.

๐Ÿฆ 

Virus & malware

Every message and attachment is scanned for viruses and malware, including threats hidden inside archives and disguised files.

๐ŸŽฃ

Phishing protection

Catches credential-stealing and impersonation attempts that pass basic authentication, by inspecting message content and links.

๐Ÿ“Ž

Attachment defense

Every attachment is examined โ€” including files disguised by extension and payloads concealed inside password-protected or nested archives.

๐Ÿ”’

Authentication checks

SPF, DKIM and DMARC validation on inbound mail to verify senders really are who they claim to be.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

Quarantine

Blocked and suspicious mail is held safely in quarantine, where it can be reviewed and released โ€” nothing is silently lost.

๐Ÿšฆ

Allow & block lists

Per-user and per-domain whitelists and blacklists give fine-grained control over exactly which senders get through.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Reporting

A clear dashboard shows mail volume, catch rates and top blocked senders, so you always know what the filter is stopping.

โšก

Always up to date

Threat signatures and rules refresh continuously in the background โ€” new scams are caught without you lifting a finger.
