12.8 Synchronizing configuration data
When GFI MailEssentials is installed on multiple servers, it is important to keep configuration data
synchronized between servers.
GFI MailEssentials enables this process through two features that keep multiple GFI MailEssentials
installations synchronized:
Anti-spam synchronization agent - This service automates the process of keeping settings
synchronized between separate installations using the Microsoft
®
BITS service.
Configuration Export/Import Tool - This application enables the manual export of GFI
MailEssentials configuration settings and import to other installations.
