MailWasher vs. Proofpoint Email Protection

MailWasher is a determined, flexible email filter, where all the spams get the necessary deleting feature. Further, MailWasher supports prior reading, where any content gets the second preview to affirm it is okay. Again, in case of any accidental deleting, MailWasheris there to restore all the emails, as they are found in a recycle bin.

Well suited: Proofpoint does a pretty good job at protecting us from spam emails. I was able to block a lot of emails coming from SendGrid by blocking SendGrid emails with a custom spam filter. However, SendGrid has a lot of legit emails too so I was able to create another rule to allow those emails from certain people, then block the rest. That way business need was met but spam emails are blocked. Less Appropriate If you are trying to monitor internal to internal emails Proofpoint is probably a little over featured for that.
