Email Security
Make sure your company's email is an asset.
Email is a backbone of communication for modern businesses for the modern
business, but all too often it can turn into a hassle unless you have a
server capable of handling the latest technologies.
Why?
Hackers and spammers are constantly looking for ways to cause trouble and
as they do the authentications methods we use to send email must evolve.
Secure Email Systems
Secure email systems will do two things.
First, since hackers have been known to
intercept the transmission of your password
when are getting your email, the Savvy
Server encrypts this information.
Second, A couple of years ago, spammers started
to take advantage older technology emails systems
so the natural reaction was to lock them down.
Sadly, that meant remote and travelling users
could not send email. The Savvy Server use
a system called SMTP AUTH to gracefully handle
this situation.

SMTP Authentication
SMTP AUTH keeps you connected on the road
Before anyone sends a message through the Savvy Server
they must prove they have a valid account on the server.
Your email client (Outlook or Thunderbird) proves your
validity by sending a password for all outbound email.
Previously, password authentication was only used
for incoming email. That is, the system would not give
you your email unless you proved who you are. The
Savvy Server use authentication in all cases.

Automatic Firewall Configuration
Selecting a protocol opens the firewall
Selecting SMTP over SSL (port 465) is simply a matter
of selecting 'Public' or 'Private' from a dropdown
box. When you do the Savvy server automatically
configures the firewall to allow for these new ports.
Similiarly, the Savvy Server also supports POP over SSL
and IMAP over SSL. When you select these options the
firewall is automatically configured to allow the
appropriate connections, leaving you to focus on how to
make your business profitable.

Secure Email Passwords
Keeping your passwords a secret
Using a password to authenticate is not without it own
problems. So while it ensures that your server only
handles requests from valid users it also sends your
password everytime you want to send email. Hackers
have long used a device called a sniffer to gather
password that are carelessly sent through the ether.
The Savvy Server allows you to encrypt these
passwords. Your email client, assuming it's a modern
client, and the Savvy Server will exchange encryption
keys to keep your passwords safe. Having your password
compromised because of lack of encryption is stupid,
but you'd be surprised how many system do not have this
facility.
