The enhanced SurfControl E-mail Filter incorporates features that give companies the ability to identify and stop spam at the network edge, centralize and better manage content security and increase the monitoring and analysis of e-mail content, both in the body of the e-mail and in attachments. The enhancements help companies increase network security and user productivity, optimize network resources and reduce legal risks associated inherent in e-mail communications.

The latest enhancements include dictionaries to filter e-mail content in six languages and improvements to enable more granular spam management and greater customization by end users. SurfControl E-mail Filter 4.6 includes:

Embedded File Management: helps organizations identify unauthorized files or images that have been embedded in other documents as a way of circumventing security, and then checks the content against an organization's acceptable use policy and rules.

Multi-Language Dictionaries: available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Anti-Spam Agent categories: expanded, because one company's spam is another company's legitimate e-mail.

SurfControl E-mail Filter 4.6 is priced at approximately $18 per user, based on an installation of 500 users. Anti-Virus Agent and Anti-Spam Agent are optional plug-in components of SurfControl E-mail Filter 4.6 and cost an average of $8 per user based on an installation of 500 users.
