Product overview

One gateway. Calmer email.

Secure Message is a self-hosted email security gateway. It sits in front of the mail system you already use, filters what comes in, and, on Professional, gives sensitive outbound messages a safer way to travel.

Where it sits

In front of your mail. Not instead of it.

You point your MX record at the gateway and relay outbound mail through it as a smart host. Mailboxes, email clients and your mail provider stay as they are.

  • One Debian 13 host you control (a server or a VM)
  • Only ports 25, 80 and 443 exposed; everything else on loopback
  • Works in front of Microsoft 365, Exchange or your own mail server
  • No client software, no mailbox migration
Secure Message mail flow on appliance v1.5.8: inbound mail goes from MX through Postfix and the content filter to quarantine or your downstream mail server (Community). Outbound mail can be held for the one-time-code portal (Professional).
