AVG Email Server Edition

AVG Email Server Edition is all about keeping your email messages safe from various online threats. It scans incoming emails for any harmful content, making sure nothing nasty spreads to other computers. If a message looks suspicious, it simply blocks the chance of opening it.

Compatibility with Windows Server

This software can be installed on different versions of Windows Server, including 2003 SP1 x86/x64, 2008 (both architectures), 2008 R2, 2012 (x86 and x64), and even the 2012 R2 version. Plus, it works smoothly with MS Exchange versions from 2003 up to 2013 and also supports Kerio MailServer versions starting from 6.7.2.

Installation Notes

If you're upgrading from an older AVG Email Server version, you'll need to remove it first before installing the new one. Make sure to pick the right version for your system—either x82 (32-bit) or x64—so everything runs perfectly.

Core Components

The main parts of AVG Email Server Edition are pretty similar to the Desktop Edition. However, you’ll need to choose specific server components during installation if you want a customized setup. Going with the default settings will get you up and running according to your server's needs.

Email Protection Features

This software provides standard virus protection for everyday tasks along with extra features like Anti-Spam and EMS (routing, SMTP, VSAPI). These help keep both incoming and outgoing email free from harmful content.

Configuration Options

You have tons of options for tweaking how both standard and server components behave. This includes basic settings like appearance and sounds as well as more advanced features like scheduling updates or setting up notifications via reports.

Extra Security Filters

If you want even more security, you can set up filters to automatically remove suspicious files from emails. You can choose whether to strip all attachments or just target specific types like executables or documents. You can also send filtered attachments straight into a virus vault!

Spam Management Settings

The software allows you to control how aggressive it is against spam. You can adjust settings so that most legitimate messages get through while only flagging easily identifiable spam.

Whitelists and Blacklists

You can use existing configurations by setting up whitelists and blacklists. This helps catch any unknown threats while skipping over trusted sources automatically.

Advanced Filtering Options

If you're looking for more detailed scanning options, AVG lets you filter messages based on language, countries, IP addresses, and even specific characters! There are many settings available like RBL servers and connection timeouts that help fine-tune your security measures.
