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
|
2003-05-06 19:40:18 +02:00
|
|
|
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
|
2003-05-06 19:40:18 +02:00
|
|
|
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
|
2003-05-06 19:40:18 +02:00
|
|
|
actions to handle infected mail.
