• Scans for viruses inside all attachments, including compressed archives.
• Checks inside Microsoft Outlook Rich Text format attachments (MS-TNEF files).
• Automatically disinfects any viruses that can be disinfected from the original message attachment (e.g. Word macro viruses).
• Attachments can be accepted or rejected on the basis of any set of arbitrarily complex filename patterns.
• Infected attachments are replaced with a customisable message to the recipient explaining what has happened to their attachment, and who they should contact for assistance.
• Even if some attachments to a message are infected, clean attachments will still be forwarded intact.
• System administration staff are notified every time a virus is found or an attachment is rejected.

• Designed to handle “Denial Of Service” attacks caused by illegal Microsoft Outlook attachments and files such as the "Zip of Death" which cannot be expanded or scanned completely.

• Every email is checked against a number of internet databases to see if this is an email that is known Spam.
• The Bayesian database support in the Anti-Spam system tries to identify Spam by looking at what are called tokens; short phrases that are commonly found in Spam or ham. (Ham is e-mail that is not Spam) Each token is given a small score, together these scores rate the email as Spam if above administrator defined levels.
• Spam scores can be set to different actions at different levels, these are normally delete at above a score of 10 and send to a special email account above 5.
• The system also checks that the domain name exists and checks that the domain is not a domain known as being used for sending Spam.
• Each system has been pre-trained by over 30 thousand emails during the installation process.
• E-mail addresses and/or domains can be added to a whitelist to ensure these e-mails are not blocked.
• E-mail addresses and/or domains can be added to a blacklist to ensure ALL e-mails from that address and/or domain are blocked.

** Depending upon the amount of internet access used, the number of e-mails received and the number of e-mails containing Spam or Virus's
