Self-hosted email security gateway

Stop spam, viruses and phishing before they reach your inboxes

Spamexx is a self-hosted email security gateway: incoming messages are scanned for spam and viruses, anything suspicious is held in quarantine – and only clean email reaches your domains.

Everything for secure email delivery

A complete gateway between the internet and your mail server – with layered inspection and full control.

Spam filtering

Multi-stage inspection modules score every message and reliably hold back unwanted advertising and bulk mail.

Virus scanning

Every attachment is checked for malware before it gets anywhere near your inboxes.

Quarantine management

Suspicious emails are safely held back. Users release or reject messages themselves.

Multi-domain & tenants

Manage any number of domains and tenants with their own target servers and individual thresholds.

White- & blacklists

Define senders that are always delivered or always blocked – by exact match or domain pattern.

Dashboard & statistics

Keep an eye on volume, spam rate and deliveries – including the queue and system status.

Complete feature set

Every Spamexx capability at a glance – from SMTP intake to licensing.

Mail intake & transport

Multi-port SMTP

Accepts mail on port 25 (STARTTLS), 465 (implicit TLS) and 587 (submission).

Before-queue filtering

Every message is fully inspected before it is accepted and forwarded – never delivered unchecked.

Recipient verification

Mail to non-existent mailboxes is rejected at the SMTP level.

Delayed first contact

Unknown senders are briefly delayed first – an effective filter against spam bots.

Domain routing & failover

One target server per domain with several prioritised fallback targets.

Queue & auto-retry

Undeliverable mail stays in the queue and is retried automatically – no loss.

Fail-closed protection

If an inspection module is down, mail is held back instead of delivered unchecked (configurable).

Spam defence

Rule- & learning-based spam check

Proven spam detection through rule- and learning-based content analysis.

IP reputation check

Real-time check of the sender IP against recognised reputation blocklists.

Header heuristics

Built-in scoring of suspicious headers: missing headers, reply-to mismatch, shouting subject.

In-house threat database

In-house reputation and fingerprint database – spots spam waves across domains.

Per-tenant score threshold

Every mail gets a score; above your threshold the chosen action kicks in.

Selectable spam action

Spam is quarantined, tagged or passed through – configurable per tenant.

Virus & malware protection

Virus scan

Every message including all attachments is scanned for malware before delivery.

VirusTotal integration

Optional lookup of URLs found in the mail against VirusTotal.

Hard virus rejection

Mail detected as a virus is discarded and deliberately cannot be released.

Quarantine & end users

Quarantine management

Suspicious mail is held safely; release or reject with one click.

Magic-link guest portal

Recipients without an account manage their quarantine via a passwordless, secure link.

Safe preview

Plain-text preview of every mail – no HTML, no tracking pixels, no script.

Instant & digest notifications

Instantly or as a digest (daily/weekly) at the chosen hour in the tenant's time zone.

Self-service account claim

Straight from quarantine the recipient can create an account via verified email.

Object-oriented rule set

Rule engine From/To/What/When/Action

Freely combinable rules by sender, recipient, content, time window and action.

Rich conditions

Sender/recipient/domain/regex/IP range, spam score, subject/header/body patterns, attachment extension, virus.

Four actions

Accept (whitelist), block, quarantine or tag as spam.

Global & per tenant

Rules apply platform-wide or to a single tenant only.

White- & blacklists

Always deliver or block senders – by list (exact address) or by rule (domain/pattern).

Administration & tenants

True multi-tenancy

Any number of organisations strictly separated on one installation.

Roles & permissions (RBAC)

Fine-grained permissions with roles, individual overrides and owner protection.

Users & self-service

Admin management plus self-service for profile, domains, mailboxes and lists.

Two-factor authentication

TOTP apps plus ten one-time backup codes; secrets stored encrypted.

Live module control

Inspection modules can be switched on and off at runtime – no restart.

Multilingual interface

Full web interface in German and English.

Reporting & tracking

Mail log

Filterable log of every processed message – by recipient, action and tenant.

Statistics dashboard

Volume, spam rate and deliveries at a glance – plus dedicated views for the queue and system status.

Per-mail result

For each message, the contribution of every inspection module to the total score.

Spam reports

Users report missed spam; evaluation by day and top domains.

TLS & encryption

Automatic certificates

Let's Encrypt / ACME certificates incl. automatic renewal (HTTP-01 & DNS-01).

TLS front door

One entry point for API and web with host routing and SNI certificate selection.

Encryption at rest

Sensitive data AES-256-GCM encrypted; keys derived per purpose via HKDF.

Operations & platform

Self-hosting & SaaS

One codebase – as a hosted service or your own installation with an annual licence.

Online licence activation

Single-node binding, 3-day lease, machine-ID hash and a controlled server-transfer limit.

Native ticket system

Plan-coupled support tickets with quota, SLA and add-on credits.

Community forum

Built-in forum for all signed-in users, organised by edition.

Maintainable documentation

Admin-editable help articles (Markdown, de/en) with search and anchors.

Editable email templates

All transactional mail multilingual, previewable and editable in the admin.

Backup & resilience

Mail spooling during outages

If the customer's destination server is down, mail is accepted and held instead of rejected – no bounce, no loss.

Automatic delivery

Once the server is reachable again, the buffered mail flows out automatically.

Independent backup MX

Add us as your secondary mail server – it only kicks in when your own server does not respond.

Tiered retention

Guaranteed hold of 1 to 30 days depending on the plan – included in the SaaS subscription or bookable separately.
