Abstract: A set of compliance policy updates are received. The compliance policy updates are sent to workloads for application. A status of the application of the compliance policies to the workloads is received from the workloads and output.

Abstract: Technologies are described for dynamic attachment delivery in emails for advanced malicious content filtering. An email service may intercept emails with attachments (or other threats such as links, embedded objects, etc.) and detach the threat (e.g., attachment) from the email allowing the email to be forwarded to the recipient without delay. The threat may be sequestered and analyzed. If the threat is determined to be harmless, it may be reattached to the email and the client notified so they can open the attachment, activate the link, or perform comparable actions.

Abstract: A set of compliance policy updates are received. The compliance policy updates are sent to workloads for application. A status of the application of the compliance policies to the workloads is received from the workloads and output.

Abstract: User input mechanisms are displayed for defining a compliance policy update. A unified compliance policy update is generated according to a unified schema that is consistent across different workloads. The unified compliance policy update is sent to a workload where it is deployed.

Abstract: A notification is received at a workload that indicates that a compliance policy update is available for the workload at a compliance policy management system. A synchronization manager on the workload pulls the compliance policy update from the compliance policy management system and deploys it to the workload.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing instant processing of email messages. In particular, instant processing of email messages is provided for sending emails to allow for instant communication and collaboration. According to one aspect presented herein, a method is provided for instant or near instant delivery of a message across multiple organizations. The method includes receiving the message from a client. Additionally, the method sends the message via email to multiple recipients across multiple organizations.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing post-processing of messages. In particular, the post-processing of messages occurs without any condition that the message was delivered. This post-processing of messages allows for system redundancy. A message to be sent is received and undergoes a subset of operations prior to being sent out. Currently, the processing operations are more extensive prior to sending off a message. After the message is sent for delivery, the message outgoes additional processing, even if the message is not successfully delivered.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for altering message properties within a message to indicate acknowledgement. In particular, types of acknowledgment may include delivery receipts, read receipts and non-read receipts. According to one aspect presented herein, a method is provided for acknowledging a message. The method includes receiving a message from a client and attempting to send the message to a recipient mailbox. Additionally, the method alters properties of the message in response to attempting to send the message.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing delivery optimization of email messages. In particular, direct delivery system is provided for sending emails to allow for instant communication and collaboration. According to one aspect presented herein, a method is provided for instant or near instant delivery of a message. The method includes receiving the message from a client. Additionally, the method analyzes the message to determine if it meets one or more factors for taking a direct path.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating message sessions. In one implementation, a notification is received relating to a message submitted for delivery on behalf of a sender to a recipient. The message includes several components. At least one delivery policy is identified based on the content identified in at least one of the components. Delivery of the message is initiated according to the delivery policy.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to techniques for classifying received e-mails and e-mails to be sent. In some embodiments, a set of e-mail zones may be defined and e-mails may be classified into one of the plurality of zones. An indication of the zone into which an e-mail has been classified may be displayed in a visual display of the e-mail.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an information protection scheme in which devices, users, and domains in an information space may be grouped into zones. When information is transferred across a zone boundary, information protection rules may be applied to determine whether the transfer should be permitted or blocked, and/or whether any other policy actions should be taken (e.g., requiring encryption, prompting the user for confirmation of the intended transfer, or some other action).
