Virus Scan:
Message attachments will be scanned by PC based virus scan engine
Protocol for the communication is virus engine based.
Thus when the message is received by the MTA, virus-scanning is performed prior to
storing it in the database. The MTA server passes it on to the SCAN server, that interacts
with the Virus-scan engine. The user can choose which types of attachments needs to be
scanned by the Virus-scan Engine. The user will be notified if the mail is found to be
infected, so that corrective actions can be performed.
OmniMessaging has been fully integrated and tested with Symantec AntiVirus Scan
Engine for Windows® 2000.
