| Summary : MailScanner - an email virus scanner, vulnerability protector, and spam handler
|
Description :
MailScanner is already a highly-respected open source e-mail security system,
with more users than AOL and Hotmail combined, and this new release increases
its stability and performance. It processes 500 million e-mail messages every
day, removing 2 million viruses and identifying 75 million spam
messages. MailScanner is used at 20,000 sites around the world protecting top
government departments, commercial corporations and educational
institutions. It is becoming a standard feature of many ISP\'s as virus
protection and spam filtering are now essential requirements for most users.
MailScanner scans all e-mail for viruses, spam and attacks against security
vulnerabilities. It is not tied to any particular virus scanner, but can be
used with any combination of 14 different virus scanners, allowing sites to
choose the \"best of breed\" virus scanner. Being open source, site
administrators can audit and verify the integrity of the system. Its role is a
major part in the security of a network, and so it must act as a trusted
service. The only way to achieve the required level of trust is to be open
source, an approach the commercial suppliers are not willing to
take. MailScanner has been developed in a world-leading Electronics and
Computer Science Department at the University of Southampton, and is
distributed for *FREE* under the GNU Public Licence.
