WCF & Associates provides a managed package of email-scanning services to protect your company's email from Internet-based spam, email outages, and viruses. 

Overview:

WCF & Associates provides the following services in one convenient managed package designed to allow you to protect your company email without taking on a new major new IT project.

• Providing store and forward protection for inbound email so that your messages are always accepted and queued, even if the destination email server is down

• Scanning all inbound and outbound email for viruses

• Scanning all inbound email for spam

• Scanning all inbound email for attachments with dangerous extensions

• Adding a statement or disclaimer, in text and/or HTML, to inbound and/or outbound messages

• Delivering outbound Internet email to offload your email server

• Providing secondary external DNS for all scanned domains

• Providing configuration control so that each function may be set up differently for each individual email address with defaults for each domain

Service Description:

The email-scanning services are provided as a managed service. WCF & Associates provides the server hardware, co-located at your facilities, at our facilities, or at a combination of the above; all software and licensing; all maintenance on hardware and software; day-to-day management of all equipment; upgrades and other required maintenance; and system monitoring with emergency paging. The service provides the right to use new versions of the Email Scanning System software as new versions are developed. Email Scanning System software developments that provide substantially new features, rather than enhancements to existing features, may require additional charges.

The following mail scanning features are included in this service:

1. Store and forward email: Each inbound email message accepted from the Internet will be stored for up to 30 days if the Internet connection, ISP, or mail server is unavailable

2. Virus scanning: Each inbound and outbound email message may be virus scanned, depending on customer configuration, using a commercial anti-virus product certified to catch 100% of the "in the wild" viruses by West Coast Labs, or by another reputable testing lab

3. Spam scanning: Each inbound email message may be spam scanned using various scanning tools which analyze message content, the sending server, sending email address, or other information to determine if the message is an unsolicited commercial email (UCE), or spam, and depending on customer configuration may be rejected, quarantined in a domain-wide holding mailbox, or have the subject tagged

4. Attachment type scanning: Attachments may be scanned by type, such as ".exe", and removed, or renamed, based on customer configuration

5. Disclaimers: Disclaimers may be added to email messages, inbound and outbound, in text or HTML format, and with different disclaimers used for inbound and outbound messages

6. Secondary DNS: Secondary DNS servers may be provided for all customer DNS zones that are scanned by the service

7. Distributed, redundant architecture: The Email Scanning System provides multiple, redundant, servers at multiple physical locations with a distributed control system so that any site, or server, may be removed from service without blocking inbound email flow

8. Individualized Control: Control decisions about the actions to be performed on an email are made based on the recipient, and where appropriate the sender, individual email addresses allowing for the ultimate configuration flexibility with defaults available at the domain level

The table at the bottom of this page provides details on how the services may be configured.
