Lock down your Filtered MX Logic Email

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Email filtering services provided by MX Logic works by having your email delivered to their filtering servers first (because your DNS MX records point there).  Once filtered, their servers will deliver the messages to your email servers for ultimate delivery to your INBOX or other folders.

If a spammer knows what your “actual email servers” are (often because they didn’t change after adding MX Logic filtering), they can bypass your costly and very good filters by connecting directly to your email servers, thus taking the filtering servers “out of the loop”.  What can you do?

Premium Email Filtering and Archival Enhancements

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

LuxSci and its partner MX Logic have released a series of updates to LuxSci’s Premium Email Filtering and Premium Email Archival services.  These changes include:

  • Improved look and feel for the Premium Email Filtering portal.
  • Localization of these portal pages into many languages such as: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean
  • New archival import services to facilitate import of historical data sets larger than 50 GB into the archival system.
  • New Outlook 2007 integration with Premium Email Archival permits searching for, viewing, and saving copies of archived messages directly through Outlook 2007.  This Outlook add-in can be downloaded via the Online Help area of the archival portal.
  • New “backscatter” filter allows administrators to block the receipt of all inbound bounce messages (available under the inbound policies – anti-spam – classification – more options area).

For complete details of all of the changes to the Premium Filtering and Archival services, see this service enhancement announcement from MX Logic.

How Can You Tell if an Email Was Transmitted Using TLS Encryption?

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Frequently, we are asked to verify if an email that someone sent or received was encrypted using SMTP TLS while being transmitted over the Internet.  For example, banks, health care organizations under HIPAA, and other security-aware institutions have a requirement that email be secured at least by TLS encryption from sender to recipient.  This can and should be locked down to ensure that the email message content cannot be eavesdropped upon.  This check, to see if a message was sent securely, is fairly easy to do by looking the the raw headers of the email message in question.  However, it requires some knowledge and experience.  It is actually easier to tell if a recipient’s server supports TLS than to tell if a particular message was securely transmitted.

To see how to analyze a message for its transmission security, we will look at an example email message sent from Gmail to LuxSci, and see that Gmail does not use TLS when sending messages, even when it can.  This indicates that Gmail is probably not a service to be used when you have any kind of encryption requirements.
