AntiVir MailGate for FreeBSD protects your electronic post office against viruses. It is working with numerous common Mail Transport Agents (MTA), like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Operates at high speed, is easy to configure and checks both incoming and outgoing emails. AntiVir MailGate is a store-and-forward agent, in which the workload is shared by the two programs avgated and avgatefwd. Avgated receives the emails and stores them in a specified directory. This program can be run as an independent server which occupies port 25 (SMTP) or is started by the internet superdaemon inetd. Avgatefwd reads the temporarily stored emails, decodes the attach- ments and initiates the virus scan. If no viruses are found in the emails, they are forwarded immediately. If an email is found to be infected, it will not be forwarded. In this case, the postmaster receives an e-mail with a detailed report, and the sender and recipient are also notified of the infection. ********************************************************************* For more information on AntiVir please visit our web site http://www.antivir.de/ or http://www.hbedv.com/ AntiVir is a registered trademark of H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH ********************************************************************* WWW: http://www.antivir.de/ WWW: http://www.hbedv.com/
