Each setting, in turn, has one or more rules attached to it. On upgrading to GFI MailEssentials, Global setting rules are set for all users, while Policy Setting rules are set for specific users. Screenshot 1: VIPRE Security for Exchange - applying rules to users Within VIPRE Security for Exchange, rules are applied to users through the screen shown in screenshot 1, above.

Screenshot 4: Attachment filtering - global settings GFI MailEssentials 2 Upgrade information 12

13 Within VIPRE Security for Exchange, all rules within the global settings are enabled if Enable attachment filtering checkbox is enabled. GFI MailEssentials will interpret this to enable or disable a rule. In VIPRE Security for Exchange, an X-Header is added if the Add X-Header option is enabled. This is not supported in GFI MailEssentials. Screenshot 5: Attachment filtering - global settings - limits group box. The limits group box checks if an attached file is processed or not. In GFI MailEssentials, settings are transposed to Content Filtering > Decompression Engine where the following options are enabled: 1. Check size of uncompressed files in archive 2. Check for amount of files in archives GFI MailEssentials 2 Upgrade information 13

14 Smart Rules Screenshot 6: Attachment filtering - smart rules Within VIPRE Security for Exchange, smart rules are a set of predefined rules built in within VIPRE Security for Exchange that could be enabled/disabled and which filter attachments according to extension type. Within GFI MailEssentials each Smart rule is converted to an Attachment filtering rule (available from Content Filtering > Attachment filtering node). GFI MailEssentials 2 Upgrade information 14

VIPRE Security for Exchange has an upper limit to the size of files that could be processed - GFI MailEssentials has a lower limit as to files that are not be blocked. Within VIPRE Security for Exchange, attachment filters are set as one rule per item. (For example, one rule for *.jpg, another rule for *.bmp). On upgrade to GFI MailEssentials this setup is retained. For each policy, there is an option to Scan within allowed archives. In GFI MailEssentials, there is a similar rule in Decompression Engine, Scan within archives which is applied to all attachments. SMART Rules are hard coded in VIPRE Security for Exchange. For example, when checking for OLE2 files, this is hard coded to check for the GUIDs of word, excel and power point.

21 NOTE These ordering policies are not supported in GFI MailEssentials. Within GFI MailEssentials ordering is applied in the following order: 1. User Disclaimer 2. Group Disclaimer 3. Domain Disclaimer Additional Notes: In GFI MailEssentials, the top-most disclaimer is used. As such, the same happens with disclaimers that are enabled. By default, the option to Convert to Unicode (UTF-8) for both HTML and Plain Text is enabled. You can have multiple global disclaimers for different local domains. Unused template disclaimers are converted to domain disclaimers and have the domain set to sampledomain.com. Also, these are disabled Antispam IMPORTANT Both VIPRE Security for Exchange and GFI MailEssentials implement score-based anti-spam filters. The difference is however how these are implemented: In VIPRE Security for Exchange this was managed on an engine by engine basis, and administrators could modify how this score was created In GFI MailEssentials this is implemented in SpamRazer and automatically maintained by the system through updates. This is easier to manage and less prone to human error. For global settings, the Enable spam filtering check box enables/disables all rules assigned to global settings. X-Headers are not supported in GFI MailEssentials while the check to filter bounce messages does not apply to GFI MailEssentials since, by default, GFI MailEssentials scans all s. The Antispam Engines settings is not available in GFI MailEssentials since GFI MailEssentials does not have these engines. GFI MailEssentials 2 Upgrade information 21

24 Enabling / Disabling a policy enables/disables all rules related to the policy. Policy Thresholds, Quarantine Actions, Quarantine Location and Spoofing cannot be applied to GFI MailEssentials since these rules are user based. The Personal Allowed/Blocked Sender Lists are mapped to GFI MailEssentials though the Personalised Whitelist and Blocklist. Users can login GFI MailEssentials and list all the addresses to whitelist and blocklist, as opposed to dragging and dropping s in VIPRE Security for Exchange.
