1. Introduction
ESET Mail Security 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server is an integrated solution that protects mailboxes from various
types of malware content including email attachments infected by worms or trojans, documents containing
harmful scripts, phishing and spam. ESET Mail Security provides three types of protection: Antivirus, Antispam and
the application of user-defined rules. ESET Mail Security filters the malicious content at the mail server level, before
it arrives in the recipient's email client inbox.
ESET Mail Security supports Microsoft Exchange Server versions 2000 and later, as well as Microsoft Exchange
Server in a cluster environment. In newer versions (Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and later), specific roles
(mailbox, hub, edge) are also supported. You can remotely manage ESET Mail Security in larger networks with the
help of ESET Remote Administrator.
While providing Microsoft Exchange Server protection, ESET Mail Security also has tools to ensure protection of the
server itself (resident protection, web-access protection, email client protection and antispam).
