NAME
MailScanner - a email virus scanner and spam tagger.
SYNOPSIS
MailScanner [options] [configfile]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the MailScanner options.
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because
the original program does not have a manual page.
MailScanner is a freely distributable E-Mail gateway virus scanner and
spam detector. It uses sendmail or Exim as its basis, and a choice of
free/commercial virus scanning engines to do the actual virus scanning.
It can decode and scan attachments intended solely for Microsoft
Outlook users (MS-TNEF). If possible, it will disinfect infected
documents and deliver them automatically. It also has features which
protect it against Denial Of Service attacks.
