Ten reasons for selecting Policy Patrol Email
- Policy Patrol currently filters emails for more than 250.000 users worldwide and offers a return on investment within 20-60 days by increasing employee productivity, freeing up bandwidth, avoiding network congestion and decreasing required disk space.
- As opposed to many other anti-spam server products Policy Patrol offers real bandwidth savings by giving you the opportunity not to download spam that is sent from IP addresses listed on spam black lists. Other products download the complete message before checking whether the sending IP is listed on a real time black list.
- Policy Patrol is one of the few products that filters internal mail (if installed on Exchange 2000 or 2003) and can apply different rules to internal and external mails. Filtering internal emails is important to avoid inappropriate emails creating a hostile work environment.
- Extremely flexible and customizable product: For each rule, Policy Patrol allows you to specify any condition, user/group, exception or user/group exception that should (not) trigger the rule, and which primary and secondary action(s) must be taken.
- Policy Patrol offers advanced disclaimer features that most other products do not offer (formatting and images in disclaimer, user merge fields from Active Directory, Exchange 5.5 or Lotus Domino, disclaimer as plain text attachment, avoid multiple disclaimers when replying or forwarding, email branding and custom disclaimer positioning).
- The program includes advanced anti-spam features: Bayesian filtering, SURBL lists (Policy Patrol was the first Exchange add-on to support SURBL lists), multiple real time black lists with different actions depending on the returns of the list, granular challenge/response (i.e. you can specify when to send the challenge/response message - for instance only for suspected spam), weighted spam header checking, check for spam words/phrases (after removing HTML tags), IP address blocking, check character sets and block NDR spam attacks. Policy Patrol can reject, quarantine, delete spam messages, forward to junk mail or add a tag or header. False positives can be avoided by configuring white lists of domain/email addresses and words.
- Policy Patrol includes many unique features such as printing emails, changing message priority, running a program, adding an attachment or header, saving attachments on the hard drive, customizing DSNs and adding a vCard.
- Scalable: Policy Patrol is available with different feature sets (archiving/compression/disclaimers/anti spam, with/without anti-virus) and features/users can be added according to the customer's needs.
- Attractive user licensing: Policy Patrol only requires the users for whom rules are configured to be licensed.
- Easy to configure and install. Rules wizard uses Outlook rule wizard logic, making it instantly comprehensible. Furthermore, many products require you to install two versions (Exchange and SMTP version) in order to gain access to all features. Policy Patrol includes all features in one product and saves you installing two products to get complete functionality.
