Email Add Ons

Email Add Ons is a collection of specialized security tools from SES approved providers that can be used to manage the type of email you allow into your ingress endpoint and to determine actions to be taken on certain types of email. These tools are certified security intelligence and enforcement solutions that are ready to be integrated into your email workflow and can be activated directly from the Mail Manager console.

These Add Ons offer the flexibility to choose from among vetted email security solutions appropriate to your individual use cases that can be used on a metered-price basis, as opposed to purchasing a large, single product solution that may not be optimized for any of your needs. Email Add Ons extends its core threat intelligence and security enforcement features on a per-workload basis, so there’s no guessing about required capacity. These benefits allow you to focus on staying ahead of email security issues and maintain high service standards for your organization.

You can learn more about each Add On directly from the Email Add Ons page located in the Mail Manager console where you'll have access to product descriptions, key benefits, and pricing information. Once you decide on an Add On you'd like to use, simply subscribe to it from Mail Manager console. Once subscribed, you'll be able to select it as a traffic policy condition in determining email allowed into an ingress endpoint, or as a rule set condition to determine actions to be taken on specific emails. Primary support for all Add Ons is provided by AWS and can also be accessed from the Mail Manager console.

The procedure in the next section will walk you through subscribing to an Email Add On in the Mail Manager console.
