Frequently Asked Questions

What mail server platforms do you assess?

We assess all major mail server platforms including Microsoft Exchange, Postfix, Sendmail, Exim, Zimbra, and cloud email services. Our assessment methodology is platform-agnostic and covers security aspects of each.

How long does a mail server security assessment take?

Mail server security assessment typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on the complexity of your email infrastructure, number of mail servers, protocols used, and scope of testing required.

What are common mail server security issues?

Common issues include open mail relays, weak authentication, missing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, unencrypted connections, misconfigured access controls, unpatched software, and weak spam filtering. We identify all these and provide remediation guidance.
