Why MailShield?
Security built for modern business realities
Inbound Security
A multi-layer shield that acts before your inbox ever sees a threat.
Most email security tools inspect mail after it's already knocked on your door. MailShield is positioned in front of your mail server — every inbound message passes through deep heuristic scoring, dynamic DNS blocklists, and rigorous MX validation before a single byte reaches your staff.
Phishing links, ransomware payloads, and spoofed senders are stopped at the perimeter with a 99.97% catch rate and just 0.001% false positives. Your team spends their day doing actual work, not sifting through dangerous junk.
Platform Capabilities
Enterprise-grade security, without the enterprise overhead
Every tier shares the same core engine. More aggressive policies and advanced features unlock at higher tiers.
Multi-Layer Threat Detection
Heuristic scoring, DNSBL, greylisting, and reputation-based filtering combine in a single pipeline that stops threats before your MX server even sees them.
Comprehensive Traffic Analytics
Intuitive dashboard featuring 7-day trends, top spam sources, and authentication pass rates. Data is synchronised every 15 minutes for accurate oversight.
Granular Policy Engine
Unlimited custom rules with header inspection, content matching, and per-sender overrides. Policy changes propagate in under 30 seconds globally.
Self-Service Quarantine
Release your own held messages without helpdesk involvement. Configurable frequency for digests reduce admin load by up to 80%.
Enforced TLS 1.3
Mandatory and opportunistic TLS on all paths, configurable per domain. Full certificate validation with audit trail for compliance requirements.
