Introduction

Viruses can be one of the most crippling threats to an organization, destroying information and taking computer systems out of action whilst they are rebuilt.

As most viruses these days arrive by email, Mailtraq can play an important role in protecting the organization. Mailtraq enables you to use a number of different technologies to achieve this - you are not locked in to one particular approach or anti-virus vendor.

Mailtraq provides a plug-in interface, which makes it easy for both individual users and anti-virus vendors to hook in to Mailtraq's message handing, to receive, scan, modify, generate, and hand on, messages.

In this section you will find both technical information about the interface, and commercial anti-virus products which use the interface, either directly (eg MailScan), or via an interfacing applet (eg AVG)
