An increasing amount of e-mail now passes through an organization’s SMTP Gateway. For optimum system usage, all e-mail attachments should be compressed as appropriate.

Compression of inbound and outbound e-mail at the SMTP Gateway is provided by MaX Compression Gateway  

MaX Compression Gateway

Using standard ZIP compression, MaX Compression Gateway automatically zips/unzips file attachments passing to or from the Internet via the SMTP Gateway.  

MaX Compression Gateway benefits : 

• Size of SMTP traffic is reduced.  

• Internal LAN and WAN traffic between Exchange sites reduces.  

• Information Store size is minimized.

For users that do not have MaX Compression Client installed (Outlook or OWA), a Reader is provided. This integrates seamlessly into a user’s mail client so that the user is unaware of the unzipping process.

Administrator benefits:

• System-wide rules are set and include:  

• Multi-layered smart rules and central configuration.  

• World-wide Outlook support.  

• Default attachment zip type.  

• Minimum and maximum file sizes before compressing.  

• Addressing rules for recipients, locations, channel-type eg to a fax server (who should receive ZIP, EXE, not-to-zip).

• File extensions not to zip (e.g. jpg, zip).  

• Maximum size uncompressed and/or compressed.  

• Works in conjunction with encryption solutions, virus scanners, content scanners and fax gateways.
