AI Screening
Inbound and outbound spam protection

Outbound screening protects your IP reputation by catching compromised accounts before they damage deliverability.
- Cloud AI — highest accuracy, detects phishing and spoofing (recommended)
- Local AI — on-device model, zero data leaves your server
- Outbound screening protects sender IP reputation
- Configurable thresholds with reject, tag, or quarantine actions

Reliability
Self-healing mail infrastructure
CeyMail watches your mail services around the clock. If any critical service crashes, the watchdog detects it within minutes, automatically restarts it, and emails you only if recovery fails. Most outages resolve themselves before you even wake up.
- Monitors all services essential to sending and receiving email
- Automatic restart on crash with verification
- Email alerts sent through your configured SMTP relay
- Dashboard banner with one-click restart for all services
- Dismiss or permanently hide alerts for services you don't use
Recovery Timeline

- Auto-generated DNS records per domain
- DKIM key rotation with zero downtime
- DMARC reporting and alignment monitoring
- IP reputation and blacklist checking
