Add SSL Security
Provides security by encrypting passwords and e-mail between your e-mail client and your e-mail server. This can be important if you have roaming e-mail users.
SSL requires that your server have a secure server certificate signed by a valid certificate authority. If you need a certificate, we can sell one to you for these prices.
Adds:
- Protocol support: SMTPS, POP3S, and the SMTP START-TLS command
- Installation of SSL patch to daemontools and START-TLS patch to qmail-smtpd
Additional prerequisites:
- A SSL certificate or the willingness to use a self-signed certificate. A self-signed certificate will leave some potential security holes open and cause a warning box to pop up in the client whenever you connect to the secure service.
Add Anti-Virus Filtering
Adds anti-virus filtering to qmail. We will either install CLAM, a free anti-virus scanner, or integrate with any supported anti-virus software packages that you have installed.

Adds:
- Support for virtual e-mail users with command-line configuration

- Not supported: ezmlm-idx is a mailing list software package that is installed because it is required by qmailadmin. We do not, however, support creation of mailing lists.

Add SPAM Filtering With Spamassassin
This blocks SPAM before it reaches your e-mail INBOX, saving you the time and hassle of dealing with SPAM.
Spamassassin is a heuristic filter that assigns a SPAM score to each message where the higher the SPAM score the more likely the message is SPAM. The score is generated by matching the e-mail against a list of pre-set rules. For example, a message that says "get rich quick" would get a few points added to its score.
With our custom qmail and spamassassin integration code, each user can set two thresholds to configure their SPAM filtering: if an e-mail's SPAM score is above one threshold the message is bounced back to the sender, and if the e-mail's SPAM score is above a different threshold the e-mail is tagged as SPAM and delivered to the user's INBOX for manual processing. Each user can also whitelist and blacklist specific senders. Users configure their SPAM filtering through the web-based e-mail interface.
Spamassassin usually blocks about 70% of SPAM while blocking a small, but real number of legitimate messages. You must be prepared to have some legitimate messages blocked. If you would like to block more SPAM or have fewer legitimate messages blocked, there are other SPAM filtering technologies that we can recommend.
SPAM filtering with spamassassin adds:
- Support for: SPAM filtering with individual user preferences, and setting of user preferences through the web-based e-mail interface.
- Installation of: spamassassin, and sasql squirrelmail plugin
- Requires: vpopmail and IMAP and web-based e-mail
