MX Logic: Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus Tool

The amount of spam and viruses you're getting is really interrupting your business and wreaking havoc with your productivity. MX Logic will make you sigh with relief! Read more about adding MX Logic to your account below.

Using MX Logic

Log In

You can log in to your MX Logic account at the following address: https://console.mxlogic.com/ The user name is your email address. When your account was set up, you should have received a password. If you forget your password, you can reset your password at the following address: https://console.mxlogic.com/passwd/newpass.php

Setup

In 'setup' you can change password, secret question/answer, time zone, language, # of entries per page, quarantine report frequency, and quarantine report content. (new since last report, all, or text only summary). The default is 'new since last report'. The default for frequency is every day. other choices are: every weekday, every Monday, Monday and Friday, or Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Quarantine Reports

Set up MX Logic to send you quarantine reports daily or more frequently. (Daily is usually a good timeframe to start with). Quarantine lasts for seven days. After that period, any quarantined messages get deleted automatically.

Whitelist / Blacklist

Login to your MX Logic account and add email addresses to your Whitelist (always accepted) and your Blacklist (never accepted) so the mail you need gets through and the mail you don't need (by known spammers) doesn't!

How it Works

MX Logic is a managed service whose entire purpose is to eliminate EMT, or Electronic Message Threats, and thus to help you avoid potentially damaging effects:

  • Virus / Worms
    Network infrastructure damage, information theft, loss of network control
  • Spam
    Productivity killer, annoyance, hardware/bandwidth resource consumer
  • Inappropriate Content
    Opens up to sexual harassment suits, productivity killer
  • Dangerous Attachments
    Network infrastructure damage, information theft, loss of network control
  • Phishing (Fraud)
    Financial loss, identity theft, information theft, productivity killer
  • Flood
    Loss of e-mail service, loss of e-mail server functionality
  • Denial of Service Attacks (DoS)
    Loss of e-mail service, loss of e-mail server functionality

MX Logic's unique approach is called EMTi, or Electronic Message Threat Interdiction. Interdiction is fundamentally different, because it allows only good emails to reach your mail server. "X-Spam: exempt" in the headers means that the e-mails bound to the users are not being scanned. This means that in the MXLogic control panel, the address has been whitelisted.

Interpreting the MX-Logic Spam Quaratine Report

Below is an image of what a spam report might look like.

The purpose of the report is to list any emails quarantined by MX Logic and allow you to delete, move, or add exceptions.

In this case, this was a good email that got trapped for some reason - clicking "Release" allowed the message to come through to our inbox.

If you click on any of the options found in your Quarantine report, your browser will open a new window and allow you to review the trapped mail, release it, etc.

You can change the quarantine report frequency, using the following link "to change your spam report preferences and settings, click here."

The following is a list of options in the report.

  • View Quarantined Items for this Day: A list of quarantined items by day
  • Release: Sometimes MX Logic may quarantine an email as spam when it is not. If this is the case, you may click "release" to move the email to your inbox.
  • Always Allow If you find that MX Logic is quarantining a legitimate email that you would like always sent to your inbox, click on "always allow" to add an exception to the spam blocker.
  • Delete All Delete all currently quarantined emails
  • View All Quarantined Messages View any and all quarantined messages with a variety of sorting features.

The MX Logic Spam Report email conveniently color codes all of these options. Be sure to check spam regularly for potentially wanted emails
