Pros
  • Offers very granular rule creation for SPAM detection.
  • Email Firewall rules allow you to outright stop emails before the even get to a mailbox.
  • Ability to implement DMARC, DKIM, and SPF is great.
Cons
  • Would prefer a few more color choices for the dashboard (like a color picker rather than just preset colors).
  • Want ability to resize columns in Email Protection and System tabs.
  • Want additional fields available to filter by for the Firewall rules (such as Message headers).

Great way to keep you safe
