It sits between the +MTA and a real antivirus software. Most MTAs available today can call an +external program for every mail message in order to perform various tasks, +including virus scanning and content filtering. Avcheck can be used as +that external program. + +Avcheck will receive a mail message from a mail system, pass it to an +antivirus software, and, depending on the presence of a virus in that +message, will either allow the message to be delivered or take appropriate +actions to handle infected mail. |
