| Uses
Databases Not Folders |
SnugServer
is Database Driven, not Folder Driven.
Generally, Folder driven systems become slower as the number of folders
increase. This slowdown does not occur when
using Databases.
SnugServer uses our own Heidi Computers UDL (Universal Database
Layer).
Additionally, SnugServer data is stored in encrypted and compressed
format.
You can create an unlimited number of Domains, Local Email Accounts,
Alias Accounts and External Mail Accounts.

SnugServer
Spam scanner is done at the Server, so that spam emails never
reach the Inbox and only authentic mails are seen by the user.
Most anti-spamming software works on spam at Email Client level
where the spam has already reached the Inbox.
SnugServer's
Anti-Spam engine uses Plugin architecture, therefore you can
even create your own Plugin.
SnugServer uses the very latest in superior Anti-Spamming plugin
techniques:
Tracking Email Killer (HTML Emails):
scans emails for External Image Links, <IFRAME>, HTML comments,
Scripts and random characters after HTML attributes and
classifies them as Spam.
Bayesian Spam Filters: calculates the probability of a
message being spam based on its contents. They learn from spam
and from good mail, resulting in a very robust efficient
anti-spam approach, that returns hardly any false positives.
This method analyses the email Header and Body.
Spam IP Filtering (Internet Blacklist ORDB Filtering): checks the ORD (Open Relay Databases) for
IP addresses of Known Spammers, and therefore probhibits contact
with them.
BW List Filtering (Friends/Enemies List Filtering): you enter email addresses or IP's into the
Black list or the White list so Snug knows what to
prohibit/allow.
Regular Expression: you enter spam words used regularly and
mark them as Spam. This method analyses the email Header
and Body.
Email Attachment Filtering: You
can decide what attachments are allowed travel through
SnugServer and whether those attachments should be quarantined,
deleted or compressed.
Strips Attachments: You can configure SnugServer to strip
Attachments from Emails. This will protect you from any
known attacks on MIME emails used by viruses in order to
spread themselves.
Strips HTML: You can configure SnugServer to strip HTML from
Emails. Hackers/virus writers can embed code to
trigger commands in HTML mail. This will protect you from any
known attacks on HTML emails.
You
can control access to your SnugServer by:
Banning or Allowing certain IP Addresses
Banning or Allowing certain Countries

Anti-Spam
Plug-in Engine
WITHOUT
Snug Anti-Spam Protection
all spam emails go straight into the INBOX
EVEN IF you have Anti-Spam software installed
on your computer
Typical Anti-Spam software works on the Email Client
SnugServer's Anti-Spam Engine works on the Email Server,
So the User never gets to see Spam.

SSL
& TLS Security
SnugServer gives users the choice of using the
SSL Protocol (Secure
Socket Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security) Protocol when
transmitting any data across the Internet. This includes
sending/receiving emails, news, file transfer using the Snug FTP Server and any
Internet browsing using the Snug Web Browser.
The type of encryption used depends on what
authentication type (SSL/TLS) the external server allows. See Encryption
explained.
Digital
Certificates
SnugScript allows you to create your own Digital
Certification Key to ensure secure communication. It also allows you to become a Certification Authority
whereby you can then authenticate your Digital Key.
What
is a Digital Certificate?
S/MIME
SnugServer
digitally encodes emails using S/MIME. S/MIME
(Secure Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a secure
method of sending e-mail that uses the RSA encryption system.
RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is an
Internet encryption and authentication system that uses an
algorithm developed in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and
Leonard Adleman. The RSA algorithm is the most commonly used
encryption and authentication algorithm.
S/MIME was created to solve email interception and forgery.
The objective of S/MIME is to protect sensitive data from prying
eyes.
The two basic features of this type of security are privacy
(only the intended recipient can read the message) and
authentication (the recipient can be assured of the identity of
the sender).

SMTP/ESMTP Authentication
Login Security
SnugServer
uses SASL
(Simple Authentication & Security Layer) which supports the following types
of Authentication:
Note: the type of Authentication actually used is dependent on
what the Email Client actually supports.
CRAM-MD5
(Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism)
The server sends a challenge to the client in the form of a string of
random digits, a timestamp and server domain name. The client responds with a string containing the user name and a keyed-MD5
digest value which consists of the users password (in encrypted format).
For example:
Server: 54545@645869512@aol.com
Client: cscott 49d8a54542gg8f4454546
PLAIN
Login using Plain text.
LOGIN
cscott@abc.com
POP3
Authentication Login Security
SnugServer allows for
the following types of authentication:
CRAM-MD5

using Plain text.

General
Security
If
you are using your ISP as a mail server, there is always the possibility
that outsiders could be reading your email messages. This
could prove an issue with confidential information e.g. bank/tax
details, credit card information and so on.
SnugServer offers you that security. Delivery and receipt of emails
is handled by your own company.
Global
Company Disclaimer
You can add a
company disclaimer at the end of each email sent.
Example Disclaimer

information contained in this e-mail is confidential and may
be privileged. It is intended only for the addressee(s) stated
above. If you are not an addressee, any use, dissemination,
distribution, publication, or copying of
