Using layers of anti-spam technology and multiple antivirus engines, Exchange Hosted Filtering removes spam and viruses—both known and unknown—from e-mail before the malware reaches corporations.

 

Spam and Virus Protection

 

Multi-engine spam and virus scanning

Exchange Hosted Filtering helps administrators enforce policies they set up to comply with corporate policies on e-mail usage and with government regulations.
