Better Protection
- Customer-Specific Rules: Customers have the option to obtain personalized spam rules based entirely on submissions from administrators and end users, with capability to control the aggressiveness of filter creation and to remove rules in case of false positives. Customer-specific rules provide automated protection against emerging spam attacks and other types of unwanted mail, including more importantly, attacks that have now become more targeted in nature and targeted to your company and end-users.

- Improved Antispam Scanning: Messaging Gateway is an award winning solutions consistently blocking more than 99% of spam with less than one in one million false positives. With the latest release, an improved antispam engine will further help customers achieve their goals for spam catching efficiency and accuracy.
- Adaptive Reputation Management: The technology behind Symantec Messaging Gateway’s reputation filtering is known as Adaptive Reputation Management, and it is one of our key differentiators. It blocks 90% of spam at the connection level; it filters out spam based on the sender’s reputation, without having to open individual messages. The remaining 10% of messages go through more than 20 antispam filtering technologies that open suspicious messages and examine them for spam, malicious content, and other types of unwanted content such as newsletters and marketing mail. Symantec Messaging Gateway uses our worldwide Global Intelligence Network and our unique self-learning local reputation system to determine potential spammers based on actual email traffic that our customers experience.
Greater Control
- Integrated DLP Functionality: Symantec Messaging Gateway features advanced content filtering and data loss prevention technologies that make it easier to protect and control sensitive data. Administrators can easily build effective and flexible policies that enforce regulatory compliance and protect against data loss. Messaging Gateway appliances leverage integration with sophisticated structured data matching technology from Symantec Data Loss Prevention, which analyzes data held in your databases (e.g. customer and patient records, banking information, order processing, customer relationship management (CRM), etc.) and creates unique fingerprints for the actual data.
- Enhanced Integration with Data Loss Prevention: Symantec Messaging Gateway has the ability to act as an enforcement point for Symantec’s market-leading Data Loss Prevention product, giving you the ability monitor and protect sensitive information being communicated via e-mail, ensuring information ends up where it belongs. The integrated quarantine management capability allows DLP Administrators to directly manage and take action on items quarantined by Messaging Gateway from within the DLP Enforce console.
- Encryption Integration: Messaging Gateway offers a premium add-on, Symantec Content Encryption that can be deployed as a hosted service, or on premise. For customers who prefer on-premise encryption, Messaging Gateway can be integrated with Symantec PGP Universal Gateway Email. PGP® Universal Gateway Email from Symantec is configured in gateway mode and acts as an "arm" of Messaging Gateway.
- Match Logging and TLS Logging: Messaging Gateway 9.5 provides enhanced logging for content filtering policies and TLS delivery to improve on-box DLP capabilities and secure email delivery capabilities.
Easier Management
- Unified Management: Messaging Gateway includes a powerful control center for unified management and administration of your company’s messaging infrastructure.
