Generic info

Clement is an application working as an mail server firewall, its only purpose is to trap most of the unwanted mail at the earliest possible stage. Making your usual mail servers (sendmail, postfix, exim...) free to do the real mail dispatching job, without need to rebounce false originator emails everywhere. Clement can work standalone, using ClamAV to detect viruses and SpamAssassin to check for spam content. Viruses are rejected first hand, returning the virus name to the real SMTP originator not to a forged address. Spam messages are stored within a system quarantine area. Clement can also be connected to a remote mentor, which is able to do an in depth analyze of received email context and give an advice according email origin trusting level and email recipient past communication pattern. Clement is then becoming a lot smarter telling real emails from usual email noise user are receiving every day.
