Explanation

A spam gateway (also called an email security gateway or spam filter) sits in front of the mail server and inspects incoming email, filtering out unsolicited bulk email (spam), phishing attempts, and malware before it reaches users' inboxes. It is the most direct and effective solution for this problem. A load balancer distributes network or server traffic. Mail forwarding redirects email to another address. Proxy servers handle web traffic, not email filtering.
