System Requirements:

McAfee SaaS Email Protection is a Software-as-a- Service solution that resides outside your network, requiring no additional hardware, software, or personnel resources to manage daily security operations. All you will need is your own mail domain (such as www.yourdomain.com), a static IP address or a hostname that resolves to an IP address, and a dedicated mail server, either inhouse or hosted by an ISP. By simply redirecting the mail exchange (MX) record through the McAfee servers, your inbound and outbound email will be transparently protected by the McAfee SaaS Email Protection and delivered to your email server spam-free.

Activation starts with a simple MX record redirection. You can begin filtering using pre-established default settings, or you can easily fine-tune the settings to your specifications through our intuitive web-based administration console.
