IronPort Mail Relay Servers

The new IronPort Mail relay Servers have now been in place for several months.  Last week, of the 3.45 million messages processed by both servers, 93% (over 3.2 million) were classed as threat messages of which 82% were stopped by reputation filtering at the connection phase.  Only 11% of all messages were actually processed "on box".

The mail relays now have a centralised tracking and reporting server which allows our helpdesk to quickly and effieciently track any false positives, although currently these are few and far between.

For additional information on the mail relays, feel free to contact any member of the KCN Team.
