Clearswift launches the MIMEsweeper SMTP Appliance
Posted on June 27, 2005

The MIMEsweeper SMTP Appliance is based on a fully hardened Linux operating system, and will be available in three models for clients with fewer than 500 mail boxes, 500 to 1,000 mail boxes and over 1,000 mail boxes.

The launch of this new appliance makes Clearswift the first company to market content security solutions in three different form factors – software, managed service and appliances.

The MIMEsweeper SMTP Appliance features web-based management, quarantine areas, reporting, and delegated administration capabilities. Administrators have the ability to update the Operating System and application software, and can also take advantage of automated updates for anti-spam, anti-virus and managed lists. It also incorporates the complete "roles-based" content security functionality that has long been a standard in Clearswift's software solutions, which is designed to reduce IT operational and management burdens and ensure the right people control enterprise content policies.

It offers redundant hardware for full resilience can process thousands of real messages per hour as well as reject messages from unwanted senders. Clearswift believes it will be deployed in two ways – as a standalone appliance, normally deployed in a company's DMZ and managed over HTTP and HTTPS using the standard ports 80 and 443 or, in the largest companies, deployed in tandem with the company's software solution as a first layer of security at the company perimeter.
