NetIQ MailMarshal v5.5
|
Installation is certainly more involved and difficult than the likes of McAfee and GFI's products, however NetIQ has managed to keep it as simple as possible yet still maintain the installation and configuration features that a system administrator requiring a package of this level would need to control.
After some of the initial configuration is completed as part of the installation, such as defining internet domain(s) and relaying/forwarding hosts/ports the main MailMarshal configurator is launched.
Overall the main configuration of this application is fairly straightforward with excellent assistance given in the manual and also via the application's help system. You can define wildcards within the rules as well as blocking individual categorised domains, users, junk mailers, etc.
The application status is monitored via a separate application, the MailMarshal Console. This console provides a wealth of resource information to the operator.
For a such a fully featured and powerful application, the design and implementation is quite amazing. The documentation left nothing to be desired and the overall look and feel of the whole process was quite impressive.
