Mail Threat Zero - Email Flow Diagram
See how Mail Threat Zero protects your email infrastructure with 5 security layers and 10+ filters
Layer 1: Connection Filtering
Network-level protection blocks threats before processing. Includes RBL/DNSBL checking, IP reputation analysis, GeoIP filtering, rate limiting, and greylisting to stop malicious connections at the entry point.
Layer 2: Authentication
Identity verification prevents spoofing and phishing. SPF verification ensures authorized sending servers, DKIM validates message integrity, and DMARC enforces domain policies for authentic sender validation.
Layer 3: Virus Detection
Malware and virus scanning protects against malicious payloads. ClamAV (official & unofficial signatures), Maldet for Linux threats, and deep attachment scanning catch trojans, worms, and ransomware before delivery.
Layer 4: Spam Filtering
Advanced spam detection blocks unwanted bulk email. SpamAssassin with 550+ rules, Rspamd with machine learning, Bayesian filtering, and URL/link checking identify and quarantine spam and phishing attempts.
Layer 5: AI Analysis (MTZ AI Protocol)
Optional AI-powered detection catches sophisticated threats using the MTZ AI Protocol. Activated when earlier layers need deeper analysis (score < 10). Choose from GPT-4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini Pro, or other models for BEC and advanced phishing detection.
