Spam and virus protection

Email security for businesses and providers

Spam and virus protection from Austria

EDIS operates a Barracuda spam and antivirus firewall cluster in Austria. It checks email for spam and malware. Business emails in EDIS Austrian web hosting are processed and stored in Austria.

Up-to-date protection

Barracuda continuously updates its threat intelligence. The EDIS cluster uses this information to detect new spam and malware patterns.

Features

  • Spam and virus filtering
  • Protection against phishing and forged senders
  • Custom filtering and content policies
  • Quarantine and detailed delivery logs

Included with web hosting

Barracuda spam and virus protection is included with every EDIS web hosting plan, with no additional per-user fees.

Also available for your own mail server

With the relay service, EDIS receives email for your domain and forwards it to your chosen smarthost, such as an Exchange server. Each domain can have its own smarthost. No domain transfer to EDIS is required.

The relay service costs €24 per domain per month, including 20% VAT. It includes domain administration, delivery logs and domain-level settings. There are no per-user fees.

Check incoming and outgoing email

The Barracuda Spam Firewall checks incoming and outgoing email traffic. Filters and policies help identify harmful messages and limit the sending of unwanted content.

Reduce outgoing spam

Compromised accounts or internal systems can send spam. Outbound filtering helps detect this activity and reduces the risk of being added to spam blocklists.

Administrators can define content policies for sensitive data. Our support team can explain the filtering, quarantine and encryption options available for your domain.
