A blast from the past!

OpenFind MailGate is a legacy email gateway product that was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was designed to help organizations manage and filter email traffic, providing features such as spam filtering, virus scanning, and content filtering.

Unfortunately, OpenFind MailGate is no longer actively supported or maintained by its original developers. However, I can provide some general information about the product and its capabilities.

OpenFind MailGate was typically installed on a Windows-based server and required a minimum of 128 MB of RAM and 500 MB of disk space. It supported various email protocols, including SMTP, POP3, and IMAP.
