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 Email 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.

VIPRE Email Security for Exchange policy disclaimer Disclaimers Order Global Disclaimer only; no policy disclaimer Disclaimers Order Policy Disclaimer only; no global disclaimer Disclaimers Order Global Disclaimer applied before policy disclaimer Disclaimers Order Policy Disclaimer applied before global disclaimer GFI MailEssentials disclaimer Domain disclaimer only and no other disclaimers Disable domain disclaimer and enable user disclaimers Not supported in GFI MailEssentials Not supported in GFI MailEssentials GFI MailEssentials 2 Upgrade information 20

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. 2.2.6 Antispam IMPORTANT Both VIPRE Email Security for Exchange and GFI MailEssentials implement score-based anti-spam filters. The difference is however how these are implemented: In VIPRE Email 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 emails. The Antispam Engines settings is not available in GFI MailEssentials since GFI MailEssentials does not have these engines. GFI MailEssentials 2 Upgrade information 21

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 email addresses to whitelist and blocklist, as opposed to dragging and dropping emails in VIPRE Email Security for Exchange.
