Group and End-User Management: Customized Policy and Administrative Delegation
While global corporate settings may work for most users in your organization, sometimes different groups and individuals require specific filtering rules. For example, it may be critical that the marketing department be able to receive newsletters and unsolicited announcements.  However, the engineering department wants neither of these things.  With many other solutions, administrators set filters that satisfy the requirements of the least permissive group—and then find themselves constantly retrieving incorrectly quarantined email for everyone else.

MailFrontier pioneered per-group and per-user email management, giving administrators the ability to create specific rules for the organization, department, group, or user with just a few clicks or delegate administrative privileges to groups or end users with ease.

 Establishing Groups
MailFrontier’s dynamic LDAP synchronization leverages your existing corporate directory to populate and update MailFrontier’s groups.  Group management settings are then applied to these LDAP-based groups.  The administrator simply defines a group of users in LDAP and accesses the group through MailFrontier’s easy-to-use, Web-based administrative interface.  The administrator can then apply policy rules or assign administrative privileges to the group.

Customizing Policy Rules
With MailFrontier you can create separate policies for each group or individual. Customizable organization, group, and individual settings include
  • The product view seen by the user or group
  • Separate allowed and blocked sender lists
  • Different filter aggressiveness settings to establish the filtering level and types of content filtered (for example, sexual content, offensive language, etc.)
  • Foreign language filtering options to block or allow emails in particular languages
  • Junk mail actions for spam, virus, phishing, DHA, and policy violations, with responses such as permitting delivery, permanent deletion, quarantine, and bouncing emails
  • Junk Box Summary delivery options
There is no limit to the number of separately defined individuals or groups that can be given customized email policy rules. 

Delegating Administrative Roles
Managing email often requires assigning administrative roles to others in your organization. With MailFrontier, the main administrator can easily extend administrative roles and tasks to certain users or groups, such as other administrators, the support desk, or executive administrators of departments. Empowered with the appropriate level of administrative privilege, delegates can greatly reduce your management activities by handling routine processes and requests for their assigned groups or individual needs.
