Alt-N: AntiVirus
Detect and Stop Threats
The most efficient place to stop viruses and other malicious software is before they reach your desktop and notebook computers. In most cases, this means checking them at your email server. Even better is refusing them any access to your server.
Because of its built-in openness, email is the primary method for spreading viruses, Trojans, worms and their companions. AntiVirus for MDaemon is a virus scanner designed to detect malicious content embedded or attached to email messages.
MDaemon uses AntiVirus for inline scanning during the SMTP session, immediately refusing any infected messages before they can reach your users. Doing this stops any trouble before it starts.
