E-Mail Cleaning - Architecture
MX Messages Flow
  • Messages addressed to the Client MX are redirect to the Tiscali Services Datacenter (Tiscali Services MX record is the same as that of Client MX).
  • Brightmail Appliance receives the messages and reduces incoming unsolicited, unwanted email
  • RBL filtering (if required) applies black listing filters
  • MX mail routes messages to the Brightmail server

Brightmail Server Process
  • Talk to BLOC (Brightmail Logistics and Operations Center)
  • Queue virus collection
  • Send back cleaned messages to MX Mail
  • MX Mail delivers messages through the Internet to the Client SMTP MX
  • The Client SMTP MX delivers messages to end user mail boxes
