MailMonitor: overview

MailMonitor intercepts and checks incoming and outgoing mail, including attachments compressed with Zip and other popular utilities, passing through the mail gateway. Administrators, senders and intended recipients are automatically alerted on receipt of virus-infected email. Every virus incident is automatically reported to the administrator.

For more details on MailMonitor, including system requirements, see the documentation for MailMonitor for SMTP - Windows NT and MailMonitor for SMTP - UNIX.
