With GWAVA, you just set it up, run it and you’re done. There’s no need to re-configure or maintain the system. GWAVA’s SmartBlocker takes care of everything. GWAVA is consistently easy to use, reliable and worry-free. When needed, users can log into the quarantine in real-time, review blocked messages and release email immediately.

Technical specifications

Perimeter Blocking

GWAVA blocks most viruses and spam before they can even get near your post office. Once the GWAVA SMTP scanner is set up, it virtually runs itself. The SMTP scanner is distributed as an ISO with the GWAVA product so you can create your own spam scanning appliance using your own hardware.  By using the perimeter blocker, your messaging system can run faster and more efficiently. 

Mail Connectors

GroupWise connectors to the MTA, POA and GWIA come standard with GWAVA. GWAVA also includes SMTP to filter messaging at the perimeter of any standards-based internet mail system. To manage email from WebAccess®, GWAVA includes a connector to WASP™. Plus, for total Novell coverage, GWAVA also includes a Vibe® OnPrem (Teaming 3.0) plug-in.  

SMTP Scanner

GWAVA is the only solution that provides virus, spam, and content scanning at the GWIA, MTA, POA, WebAccess (with WASP), and now at the SMTP gateway.

The GWAVA SMTP scanner can be deployed on a GWAVA server sitting outside GroupWise and your enterprise firewall to stop spam before it can even touch the GWIA.

By setting up a GWAVA SMTP firewall, you can stop spammers before they even have a chance to start sending you email.  With a variety of connection level scanning techniques such as IP reputation and greylisting, the SMTP scanner will end communication from sources that are known to be spammers or display spammer-like tendencies.

Since over 90% of email traffic comes from spammers, using GWAVA at the perimeter of your GroupWise email system will help you conserve a large amount of bandwidth and save on network and server resources.

Linux and Windows 32-/64-Bit Support

GWAVA runs natively on both Linux® and Windows® on both 32 and 64 bits. It is also available as a soft appliance which can be installed directly on a physical computer or run as a virtual machine. GWAVA 5, with its performance and functional extensions, no longer supports NetWare® due to technical limitations.

End User Spam Control

GWAVA sends each user a single email with a summary of emails blocked as spam. The user can then release any individual email from the real-time web-based quarantine system without administrator help.

Email Surveillance and Statistics

The GWAVA dashboard provides thorough and customizable statistics. With its easy-to-use browser-based UI, view a complete and up-to-the-minute landscape of how GWAVA is protecting your mail system. 

Reports

GWAVA keeps you informed about the state of your messaging system. Set a schedule and GWAVA will deliver useful reports to your email.

Alerts

Not only does GWAVA protect your messaging system, but it alerts you the instant a serious problem is detected. If any error occurs within the GWAVA program itself or from an external factor such as a network error that could potentially compromise your email, GWAVA will alert you to the problem. 

Double-Layer Anti-Virus Protection with Kaspersky Integration

GWAVA integrates seamlessly with Kaspersky for the best anti-virus protection available for both in-bound and out-bound traffic. Because GWAVA operates at a low level in your network architecture, viruses are stopped before an outbreak can cost you thousands of dollars in lost time and data. In addition, GWAVA provides a second line of AV support with its 0-Day Virus Outbreak protection.

Scanning and Quarantine of Internal GroupWise Messages

Only GWAVA provides total scanning from the inside out for your Novell GroupWise messaging platform. GWAVA intercepts all messages passing through GroupWise MTAs and GWIAs in real time to make sure they are spam- and virus-free. In addition, GWAVA can run at scheduled intervals to scan and quarantine viruses that may already be lurking in the post office. GWAVA WASP can be used for additional WebAccess protection.
