MailMum for Compliance & Risk Teams

Audits ask a simple question that’s often hard to answer well: “how do you know what’s connecting to your mail servers, and what did you do about it?” MailMum is built to answer it directly.

Evidence, not assertions

• Every connection attempt is retained, blocked or passed, with a timestamp and which rule (if any) matched.
• Network/ownership context is attached automatically, so the record shows not just an IP but who operates the network behind it.
• Per-server and per-account history, so evidence can be scoped to the specific mail infrastructure an audit is asking about.
• A durable, private record. Because MailMum is self-hosted and privately managed, this evidence isn’t dependent on a third-party vendor’s retention policy or availability.

Where this fits

This audit trail is scoped to DNS-lookup events tied to mail servers — it’s evidence of enforced controls at the mail connection boundary, not a general-purpose security event log.
