A virus scanner for VPOP3 - a Windows mail server which includes a hook for an 'external router' which processes mail before it is delivered to a user's mailbox. We currently support the free AVG from Grisoft and eTrust EZ Antivirus.

<h4>Version 1.61</h4> <ul> <li>Include eminstall.reg file for automating setting EmScan as an external router in VPOP3 and suppressing raw recipient information being passed on to external routers. The programme itself is unchange from version 1.6 </ul> <h4>Version 1.6</h4> <ul> <li>Add support for Grisoft's AVG 7 (currently in beta) </ul> <h4>Version 1.5</h4> <ul> <li>Make sure virus notification is correctly formatted when the original mail message is not plain text </ul> <h4>Version 1.4</h4> <ul> <li>Bug fix: EmScan would enter configuration mode if it couldn't find an email to process as a VPOP3 external router. Sometimes this would happen during general operations. A blank message? Now check for VPOP3 environment variables to determine whether we are invokled as an external router, or as a stand alone program (which triggers configuration mode). <li>Changed log file name extension to .log (from .txt) and added monthly archiving of log files </ul> <h4>Version 1.3</h4> <ul> <li>Delete temporary files immediately after processing the email (rather than when the next email is processed). <li>Store all file names as .ZIP (rather than the designated extension). AVG will still correctly scan such files, and saving as .ZIP avoids triggering the resident shield (real-time virus scanner) </ul> <h4>Version 1.2</h4> <ul> <li>Now gives you the option of having an infected email sent to either the INFECTED user/mapping (as per version 1.0) or else a notification to intended recipient. The notification consists of the original email headers (rather than the entire message) and also which virus was detected. Notification is now the default option. <li>Stores temporary files in folder _qtine under the main VPOP3 folder, rather than q_tine </ul> <h4>Version 1.1</h4> <ul> <li>Bug fix: Incorrectly terminated processing message headers when a header lined was terminated by a <CR><CR><LF> rather than a simple <CR><LF>. </ul> <h4>Version 1.0</h4> <ul> <li>Added support for AVG <li>Dropped public support for InoculateIT (this could be added back if there is demand for it </ul> <h4>Version 0.9</h4> <ul> <li>Original public release </ul>
This is a full installation of EmScan. The programme is unchanged from version 1.60 but the packagae includes eminstall.reg which both installs EmScan as a router in VPOP3 and also fixes the problem with too many recipients (provided you are running VPOP3 1.5.6 or later). You can get details on manually changing the registry, or download just the REG file from our home page: http://www.emscan.codeworks.gen.nz
Users of EmScan using VPOP3 as an SMTP server (or indeed any otehr SMTP server) may be interested in our sister project SMTPFilter. SMTPFilter offers protection against spam and will have anti-virus capabilities added. For more information visit the SMTPFilter home page http://www.smptfilter.codeworks.gen.nz
