Link protection in emails

[Joshi]

Greetings,

I have seen a rather cool feature from Barracudas Spam Firewall, called Link Protection:

Is there a similar feature in MG? I checked the manual briefly, but could not find anything related.

Thanks
Joshi

No.

And for me, I do not really think that it is a cool solution to provide all your links from private conversations in your emails to an US based vendor, but this is probably not important for everyone.

Still nothing here in sight? I would love to see such a feature. I have it with Proofpoint, and I am not sure if I would want to ditch this additional line of defense.

This is only useful for a corporate solution.
For privacy reason, this is quite a sad approach for clients/endusers.
And as Tom says, as all links are available to the vendor/mailproxy provider, I'd be quite concerned as a private user then. (and might have to be opt-in as per gdpr etc)

A solution like PMG is most likely used in corporate environments. Also, since a huge amount of email is already going through US-Based vendors (M365, Yahoo, Hotmail/Outlook.com and such) the links are already known to them, including the corresponding recipient. With some proper link detection this is either not the case, or does not make it worse.
