resources keep you up at night? Do you worry that your

providing backup in case of a disaster.
Sprint E-Mail ProtectionSM Services
Defend your e-mail infrastructure — protect your enterprise
Features
Sprint E-Mail Protection Services add an
Internet-based layer of defense against malicious
code penetration, unwanted spam, virus infection
and server unavailability, as well as unexpected
network threats such as denial of service and
mail bomb attacks.Your e-mail is “cleaned” by
Sprint messaging servers geographically
distributed across the country and then passed
on to you. So there’s no need to change or
modify your corporate e-mail infrastructure
or install and maintain any additional hardware
or software on your premises.
Features include:
E-Mail server and network protection. With
the Sprint solution, you have one MX record
that points to the Sprint network.
Sprint servers mask your enterprise’s IP
address, protecting your network and your
servers from SMTP-based attacks.
Blocking capabilities. Sprint can reject
both inbound and outbound messages based
on policy rules and message attributes before
they leave your corporate e-mail system.
Potentially destructive, objectionable and
unwanted files are unable to gain access to
your e-mail infrastructure.This feature also
prevents sensitive and confidential data from
leaving your network.
Automatic store and forward for disaster
recovery. If your e-mail server becomes
unavailable for any reason, Sprint ensures that
no e-mail is lost or bounced. Once service is
restored, all stored mail is automatically
forwarded in a flow-controlled fashion.
Outbound services. Sprint outbound relay
service directs your outbound e-mail traffic
through the Sprint network.This safety
mechanism provides a layer of protection
and anonymity while it:
• Enables the monitoring of e-mail and
attachment content via policy rule
enforcement to ensure outbound messages
comply with company policies and
government regulations
• Reduces the load on messaging servers by
ensuring messages don’t queue on the server,
waiting to be delivered
• Provides virus scanning to help prevent
infected files from being forwarded to col-
leagues, partners, suppliers and customers
Spam filtering. Our proprietary, multi-layer
spam technology automatically filters unsolicited
e-mail before it enters your corporate messaging
system, increasing employee productivity and
reducing infrastructure burden. At the same
time, Sprint E-Mail Protection Services are
designed with the enterprise in mind, so that
business-critical e-mail is not misidentified and
filtered out as spam. All messages are run
through three separate layers of advanced
spam filtering technologies.
The Message Quarantine feature provides
some essential benefits to the Sprint spam
filtering service:
• Offsite quarantine — service collects and
quarantines mail off-premises from corporate
networks. It ensures that your company’s
e-mail servers, disk space and network
bandwidth are freed from the unnecessary
burden of handling spam
• Spam review — users can easily review
messages identified and quarantined as spam,
assuring that no legitimate e-mail is being
filtered out
• Message recovery — any incorrectly blocked
messages are easily salvaged and reported
to Sprint for assessment and possible
modifications to the system spam filters
Virus scanning. The Sprint solution provides
some of the most complete anti-virus services
available. Inbound and outbound messages
are scanned for all known viruses and all
attachments and documents are scanned for
Trojan horses, macro-viruses and all other
types of viruses that can infect executable or
content files.
While the typical business might update virus
libraries daily or weekly, Sprint updates
definitions every 10 minutes. As soon as new
viruses are discovered and new definitions are
formulated, these new rules begin to filter
your e-mail immediately. Integration of premier
virus engines at the application programming
interface level maximizes scanning effectiveness.
Administrative control and reporting.
Sprint provides a suite of Web-based reports
that offer statistics on corporate e-mail usage

messaging management while keeping
