Avcheck is a simple program that allows you to call an antivirus
|
|
software in order to check mail messages for viruses before actual
|
|
delivery from within a Mail Transfer Agent, or MTA.
|
|
|
|
Avcheck itself isn't a virusscanner, nor it is an MTA. 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.
|
|
|
|
Avcheck does nothing with a mail message contents -- it's task is to
|
|
prepare file with a mail message and feed it to an antivirus
|
|
progra. It's an antivirus task to decode MIME structure, handle
|
|
embedded archives and so on. Many but not all antivirus products today
|
|
have this ability.
