By default our mail servers are equiped with an Anti-Virus filter and will not allow most viruses to pass through. This is free with your web hosting package.
The E-Mail server will scan all incoming and outgoing emails by subject, body, and attachment as they reach the mail server.
All harmful content is quarantined and a warning message is sent to the recipient and sender alerting them to the existence of the virus, and the name of the virus.
Our service checks all archives, exe files, and embedded files for over 7,000 viruses, worms, trojans, and hoaxes.
