MicroWorld, the leading AntiVirus and Content Security solution provider announced the release of MailScan 5.6 version, the comprehensive content security software for Mail Servers.

MailScan 5.6 is power packed with a host of proactive technologies and advanced algorithms. It is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 64 bit platforms and now supports Lotus Domino 8 Mail Servers too.

MailScan uses powerful content filtering techniques like Greylisting combined with the unique NILP technology. Greylisting is a method of temporarily blocking mails from unknown senders and accepts the mail only on repeated attempts. NILP based on Artificial Intelligence analyzes mails to classify them as Spam or Ham based on the Behavioral Pattern of the user. MailScan also has a built-in AntiVirus scan engine powered by the revolutionary MWL technology and an advanced heuristic scanner that scans both inbound and outbound emails, for effectively blocking Malware at the MailServer itself before they can reach the endpoints.

MailScan 5.6 now boasts of a powerful Web Based Administration Console that allows remote administration through a browser. It also enables LDAP and POP3 authentication to authenticate valid users and restrict unauthorized access to quarantined mails.

On the launch occasion of MailScan 5.6, Govind Rammurthy, CEO & Managing Director of MicroWorld said, "Spam accounts for more than 90% of today's email communication. Spammers are adapting various devious techniques to sneak past AntiSpam solutions. MailScan 5.6 works on multiple levels to rule out spam and phishing effectively and ensures protecting businesses from spam menace."
