All the rules in this Message Log are fictitious; the layout shows the type of information an administrator can use.

Protection

More than just a spam filter

ESS combines gateway filtering, domain policy, quarantine and management in a single platform, making e-mail security predictable, explainable and manageable.

✓

Stop spam, phishing and malware

Messages are checked for content, sender, reputation, attachments, links and authentication. Unsafe mail is stopped before users come into contact with them.

24

Additional control on domains under 24 hours

New sender domains are often used in phishing campaigns. ESS can automatically treat messages from such domains more strictly.

Q

Quarantine and self-service

Suspect mail may be held for review. Users and administrators will be given safe options to release or delete messages.

L

Logging and explanation per message

The ESS portal shows why a message has been delivered, blocked or quarantined, making support and management faster.

D

Set up per domain

Each domain can get its own settings, delivery server, onboarding status and responsible administrator. Convenient with multiple domains or customer accounts.

B

Built for daily management

From dashboard and message log to slow/block lists and account context: ESS is designed for teams that need to be able to track and update mail security daily.

Second Defense Layer

Link with Inbox Defense

ESS protects the mailflow before delivery. MX-Relay Inbox Defense adds mailbox monitoring. Together, a stronger combination is created: gateway protection and control within the mailbox.

ESS filters before delivery. Inbox Defense checks inside the mailbox.

Laag 1

ESS Gateway Protection

Control before delivery: spam, phishing, malware, sender reputation, domain policy, quarantine and mailflow logging.

Laag 2

Inbox Defense

Check in the mailbox: signals from Microsoft 365, user feedback, suspicious messages and campaign recognition.

Onboarding

Quick connection without complicated migration

ESS is placed before the existing mail environment. The customer does not need to switch to a new mailbox environment and can continue to use their own mail server or cloud mail.

  • Suitable for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Exchange, cPanel and own SMTP servers.
  • Onboarding with domain, delivery server and mailflow checks.
  • Manage per account and per domain, with clear status and logging.
  • Rules for trusted or blocked senders, domains, IP addresses and regions.

Resellers

Also suitable for resellers and white label environments

MX-Relay ESS is designed for multiple customer accounts. Resellers can manage customer environments, onboard domains and connect the portal experience to their own brand.

Whitelabel portal with own logo, color and support identity.
Account context for customer management without losing overview.
Billing accounts and reporting for ESS domains and Inbox Defense licenses.
Release log for visible platform updates towards billing accounts.

Result

Wat levert ESS op?

A secure, manageable layer between the internet and mailbox, without the need to replace the existing mail environment.

Minder risico

Less risk to users

Phishing, malware and suspicious senders are intercepted before they're in the inbox.

Sneller support

Sneller antwoord op mailvragen

Message logs, security details and quarantine actions give administrators faster insight into what happened to a message.

More overview

Better visible what's happening

ESS makes mailflow, decisions and configuration visible per account and per domain.
