MXtreme is designed from the ground up to deliver the most comprehensive email security features available today. Based on the S-Core™ OS, a UNIX-based hardened and optimised operating system, MXtreme provides proven firewall technology for the mail gateway. In fact, the S-Core OS has been used for over 10 years in the BorderWare Firewall Server and, to this day, has never been breached. Add to this MXtreme’s high-performance MTA and you have a base platform that will secure your organisation’s email with a highly available and robust solution that also provides complete mail gateway and mail security functionality.

Delivering Mission-Critical Email
MXtreme reduces the latency associated with processing high volumes of email. MXtreme’s advanced S-Core OS and MTA maintains thousands of simultaneous email connections while processing in excess of 100,000 messages per hour to ensure that corporate email is delivered on time… without exception. MXtreme also eliminates the complexity of managing a cumbersome UNIX-based mail gateway with its easy-to-use, Certified Secure mail security appliance.

The Only MTA with "Stateful Failover" for High-Availability
MXtreme Mail Firewall and MTA is the only mail security solution providing true high-availability with patent-pending "Stateful Failover" and advanced "Queue Replication". When MXtreme is configured in a high-availability cluster, all email settings and inbound queues are replicated across the cluster. In the event of an outage, the redundant clustered system(s) continue to process all messages, mitigating message loss or delivery interruption. This means MXtreme delivers unbeatable returns-on-investment by reducing operational costs and guaranteeing the delivery of mission-critical email.

Threat Detection & Prevention
Email servers such as Microsoft Exchange®, Lotus Notes®, Novell GroupWise® and Sendmail®, are the constant targets of attack. MXtreme is designed from the ground up to protect your corporate email servers from Denial-of-Service Attacks, Buffer Overflows, Directory Harvest Attacks, and over 400 types of Malformed Messages. It ensures that you are protected from the threats you know about, and those you don’t.

Email Encryption & Mail VPN
Email is increasingly transactional in nature; it is used to communicate with employees, customers and partners. That being said, a considerable amount of sensitive information is sent over the Internet in clear text format, without any protection. MXtreme Mail VPN supports encryption between email gateways using TLS/SSL (128-Bit) encryption which effectively prevents eavesdropping and message interception.

Advanced Audit & Reporting
MXtreme tracks all email activities and its built-in database and reporting engine provides visibility into any individual system or group within a cluster to help you better manage your organisation’s entire email infrastructure. Its audit and reporting tools help your organisation comply with industry regulations such as HIPAA and SOX. MXtreme also integrates with enterprise management tools like HP OpenView®, BMC Patrol® and CA UniCenter® through SNMP.
