How does AMES work?
Avira Managed Email Security, or AMES for short, is a service dedicated to stopping spam or viruses before they reach the your
company network. is is achieved by routing email to our AMES server cluster. AMES then scans and delivers the spam- and
virus-free email to your server.
The most accurate spam scanning technology
For intercepting spam we use a combination of technologies proven to be extremely effective. Since spammers and virus makers
become more skilled every day, we constantly test and implement new methods to keep our lead position in email scanning, and
you enjoy the benefits of this without any effort or costs.
Configuring AMES
Because we stop spam and viruses ‘in the cloud’, that is also the place where the configuration is done. You can find the AMES
interface on https://ames.avira.com.
Licensing in AMES
When you let your Avira Partner purchases a license for AMES, you need to choose the number of users you need. ese users
correspond with the total number of people in your organization that are going to use AMES filtered email. AMES gives you total
freedom to freely distribute these users across multiple domains, create aliases for them and more, but always keep your license up
to par with the actual users. For more information see the AMES terms and conditions on our
website
