What is Outbound Email Filtering?

How it Works

How it Works

This vital process, known as outbound email filtering, serves as a protective shield, ensuring that potentially harmful messages do not reach unsuspecting recipients on the Internet. MX Layer performs a thorough scan of emails sent by a local user to identify any threats or malicious content. Initially, the sender sends the email, which undergoes various checks during the connection phase. Then, it traverses through the before-queue filters to analyze its content and attachments. Once the filters clear it, the email progresses to the post-queue stage, where additional checks ensure its safe delivery to the intended recipient. This proactive approach empowers organizations to safeguard their online reputation and prevent security breaches.
