As a high-performance MTA, Cloudmark Gateway with Cloudmark Authority prevents unwanted email from impacting user inboxes and messaging infrastructure by performing intelligent protocol and content filtering at the perimeter of the hosted environment. The result is a solution that significantly reduces infrastructure needs and improves the quality of service offered to customers.
