Non Intrusive Learning Patterns (NILP)

NILP is an intelligent self-learning technology in spam control. It carries with itself a continuously updating database containing DNA imprints of millions of SPAM mails detected world-wide. Once the DNA imprints are checked, NILP reverses its learning by classifying GOOD (Ham) mails, rather than using the traditional way of classifying BAD (Spam) mails.

Advanced Content Scanning Options

Content Control options allow you to specify restricted words or phrases in e-mails that should be detected by MailScan. E-mails with such words anywhere in the subject, body or tags can be deleted or quarantined. You can add a customized disclaimer for outgoing or incoming attachments..

Automated Threat Notifications

When a virus is detected in an e-mail or attachment, or when restricted words and phrases are found in the mail content, the mail can be deleted, quarantined or disinfected. MailScan provides you the option to send a customized notification to the sender, the intended recipient or others, informing them about the action taken.

Compression and Decompression

Auto compression of attachments is a feature that allows automatic compression of outgoing and incoming attachments. It allows you to specify if outbound and inbound attachments should be automatically compressed or decompressed; exclude and include specific attachments from auto compression and specify the minimum attachment size that should be auto compressed.

Comprehensive Reports

This feature provides a report of MailScan activity for a period. There are five tab pages that provide reports about different MailScan tasks. The tabs are: Mails Sent From Local Domains, Mail Details, Alt. Details, Mails Received from Local Users, Mails Received from Foreign Domains and Daily Analysis.

Self Diagnosis and Troubleshooting

When the software encounters any problem in functioning, 'Send Debug Information' of eScan generates a file called 'debugs.zip'. eScan gives an option to send that Self Analysis along with a small description of the problem keyed in by the user to the MicroWorld support team, who identifies the cause of the issue and helps resolve it.
