The Anomy sanitizer is what most people would call
|
||
|
|
"an email virus scanner". The most important jobs that the sanitizer
|
||
|
|
can do for you - it can scan email attachments for viruses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other things it can do:
|
||
|
|
- Disable potentially dangerous HTML code, such as javascript,
|
||
|
|
within incoming email.
|
||
|
|
- Protect you from email-based break-in attempts which exploit
|
||
|
|
bugs in common email programs (Outlook, Eudora, Pine, ...).
|
||
|
|
- Block or "mangle" attachments based on their file names.
|
||
|
|
This way if you don't need to recieve e.g. visual basic scripts,
|
||
|
|
then you don't have to worry about the security risk they imply
|
||
|
|
(the ILOVEYOU virus was a visual basic program).
|
||
|
|
This lets you protect yourself and your users from whole
|
||
|
|
classes of attacks, instead of blocking individual exploits.
