POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy is a software that acts as a transparent proxy by scanning every email for viruses. It provides full protection against malware and helps prevent the spread of harmful content.
If you're looking for a reliable virus scanner for your POP3 emails, POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy might just be the solution for you. This software acts as a full-transparent proxy daemon that scans all your mails using third party scanners such as AVPD and Trophie, ensuring that no harmful viruses slip through.
Setting up this software is a breeze - all you need to do is configure the port redirection in linux-netfilter (iptables) so that any connections from inside your office to any POP3 servers outside the world will come to a local port that POP3VScan listens on. The original destinations of packets will be received from the Linux kernel and POP3VScan will connect to them, ensuring that all data received from the client is sent to the server and vice versa.
One of the best things about POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy is that it parses the necessary parts of the POP3 protocol, storing emails sent from the server into a file and invoking a virusscanner to ensure it's free of viruses. If the email is good, it's sent as is, but if it's compromised, it's replaced with a virus notification.
This software is versatile and can be used with multiple scanners using the scannertype=basic. For even faster scanning capabilities, POP3VScan provides a scannertype=avpd for high-speed scanning using 'Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux'. Additionally, this software is easily adaptable to other scan-daemons for extended functionality.
The best part? Neither the client nor the server has to be configured, so they won't even notice that there's a mailscanner in the background (except when a virus notification is received, or when looking into the header). Overall, POP3 Virus Scanner Proxy is a powerful and unobtrusive solution for anyone looking to boost their email security.
