AMaViS-ng is a modular software that is a reimplementation of amavisd and amavis-perl.
Some people may argue that a virus scanner is not necessary for a UNIX environment. Still, the truth is that viruses can also affect UNIX systems, and with an increasing number of heterogeneous network environments where both UNIX and Windows systems coexist, the need for a reliable email scanner has become paramount.
AMaViS-ng can be used on servers that handle incoming mails, and when a mail arrives, it is parsed through a script that extracts all attachments, unpacks them (if necessary), and scans them using a professional virus scanner program.
Suppose you own a company that uses UNIX servers to serve Windows and Macintosh workstations via a POP3 service. In that case, AMaViS-ng can provide an additional level of security by ensuring that any attachments coming via email are scanned for viruses before they reach a system they can infect.
In conclusion, AMaViS-ng is an excellent email scanner that is both easy to use and effective. It offers a much-needed layer of security for email systems in heterogeneous environments and can help protect your organization from cyber threats.
