Email Server Virus Scanning Service
The Email Server Virus Scanning Service is for businesses that run their own email servers and want to add industry strength virus scanning & filtering to incoming email. The Email Virus Scanning Service is an email gateway that front ends your email servers, accepting all inbound email for your domain, scanning it for potentially dangerous payloads and then forwarding clean email on to your email server.
Email found with a virus is deleted and the recipient receives a notification that an email containing a virus was detected. Our scanner will also add a special header to the email that your email server or email client can detect to take appropriate action, such as notifying the postmaster.
The Email Virus Scanning Service is perfect for companies that need a rapidly deployable, low cost, anti-virus solution. Our service works with any SMTP compliant email server, requires no special software to be installed on your site and very little technical knowledge to implement. A simple change to your domain’s DNS settings is all that is required to begin using our service.
