IMail Server Anti-Virus is an add-on product for IMail Server, that is equipped with state of the art anti-virus technology to provide increased security for your mail system. IMail Anti-Virus searches all incoming and outgoing mail for viruses, worms, trojan horses, and other destructive code, by comparing all mail messages with a list of file extensions, and known virus definitions.
If it detects a virus, IMail Anti-Virus can attempt to repair the infected file, delete the message, or send a bounce message back to the sender. A log file entry is then generated and an e-mail is sent to alert the administrator. In addition, the System Administrator can set a "Redirect Address" to which infected e-mail messages are sent. You can also send an e-mail to the intended recipients informing them that the message could not be delivered.
There are two versions of IMail Anti-Virus available:
IMail Anti-Virus Standard Edition. Powered by Symantec's CarrierScan.
IMail Anti-Virus Premium Edition. Powered by Softwin's Bit Defender.
To begin configuring IMail Anti-Virus see Anti-Virus Administration.
