MailScan for Linux

Linux users have long bragged about the security of their operating system. Detractors usually respond that this is only because Linux does not have 95% of the market using its product. Where ever you stand on the subject, I think we can all agree that when the hackers do start going after the Linux crowd, they’ll no doubt use the same tried-and-true methods that have worked so well with Windows.

One of the first points of attack is sure to be email. It’s the simplest way to invade any system or network. Human nature tells us that someone will always open that unknown email and click on that mysterious attachment. So if you want to be proactive and find a way to secure your Linux system’s email now, AME Info reports on a new product from MicroWorld, MailScan for Linux. It will ensure that Linux users do not fall prey to the malicious intentions of those trying to catch hold of the reins of Internet world.
“The new highly advanced software from MicroWorld, enjoying Red Hat ready partner status, will not only perform the scanning of all your incoming and outgoing SMTP/POP3 e-mails for viruses and spam but also all the attachments at the gateway level itself ensuring that not even a single bad content is delivered to the user’s mailbox. The software also has the intelligence to look into the compressed attachments and block the whole attachment even if a single file is found to be suspicious. This feature makes the software capable of fighting the wildest attacks like MyDoom and Bagle. As an advancement and precautionary measure the software has been developed in a manner to scan the attachment even if the files have been doubly zipped.
The antispam feature of the software ensures that no irritating advertisements or e-mails from pre-specified e-mail addresses are delivered to the user’s mailbox. All e-mails considered to be spam by the system are marked spam and delivered to the specific folder so that the user can read through these e-mails at his convenience and does not loose any important information.”
