Guide Review - WorkgroupMail 7.6 - Mail Server
Email can be a dangerous beast. Viruses are waiting, secrets are escaping, and spam is coming in. If everybody in a network (be it at a small or mid-sized company, or even at home) accesses their email individually, all these threats can be difficult to manage. This is where WorkgroupMail jumps in for rescue.
Not only can WorkgroupMail manage all your users' emails centrally, it also offers enhanced security. Powerful content and attachment filters scan incoming and outgoing mail, and can even add legal disclaimers. Anti-virus checks through third-party virus scanners add another layer of security.
Unfortunately, WorkgroupMail lacks support for secure TLS/SSL connections. This could enhance the Webmail and Web-based administration in particular.
