What Cleanmail is

Cleanmail is an email security relay that filters unwanted and malicious email traffic for organisations. Alinto says it eliminates 99,9% of spam messages and email viruses, and protects against scams, phishing, spoofing, malware, and ransomware. An outbound scanner checks outgoing mail to help prevent server misuse and domain or IP blocklisting. Administrators can manage allowlists and blocklists at domain and individual-user levels. Its control panel provides real-time tracking, analytics, log files, and self-service log access using the ELK stack. If a standard messaging service is unavailable, an emergency webmail interface is available. Cleanmail can archive non-modifiable copies of incoming and outgoing messages, including attachments, for up to 10 years, subject to business rules and legal requirements. Deployment choices include SaaS, cloud, and on-premises options. Alinto describes compatibility with professional mail servers and says no infrastructure changes are needed. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered.
