1.1.1 Overview

Secure Messaging Gateway (SMG) is designed to run the SMTP scanner for any email system in the market. The SMTP scanner and SMG are completely independent of, and can be implemented in, any system. The SMTP scanner acts as a proxy for the SMTP Gateway of the mail system.

The SMTP scanner and SMG are meant to be placed in front of the current Gateway for the mail system. Incoming email sent to your domain will first go to SMG, which scans then sends clean email to the MTA. Mail sent from your domain will pass through the normal system, but the SMTP Gateway will send the mail to Secure Messaging Gateway, which sends the email to the internet.
