Email Antivirus System

Features - Saturday April 26, 2003 07:52 PM -05:00 UTC

An email antivirus system has been put in place.

All email either sent from or bound for IrthNet email accounts is now scanned for viruses. If a virus is found in an outbound email, e.g. sent from an IrthNet email account, the message will not be delivered and a notification will be sent to the sender. If a virus is found in an inbound email, e.g. sent to an IrthNet email account, the message will not be delivered and a notification message will be sent to both the original sending and receiving email accounts.

Read on for an example of what a virus notification will look.

When a message containing a virus is sent to an Irth Networks email account the recipient will receive a message such as this:

A message which was sent to you was discarded by McAfee antivirus
running at Irth Networks, http://www.irth.net/.

The details of what was detected and the original message header are below.
For your protection, the original message has been destroyed. The sender
has been notified.

EICAR.COM is infected with EICAR test file

Viruses: 0
Trojans: 0
Jokes: 0
Tests: 1

The sender is sender@virussrc.net (may be faked)

Note that the virus name listing and details will differ depending on the virus found.

Question, concerns, etc.: IrthNet Support

Nice feature. I'm surprised at how much use I'm getting out of it.
