ScanMail provides constant detection and protection of the three points of entry where
the Notes Client environment is most vulnerable:
-
Email transmissions– ScanMail performs real-time scanning on all incoming and outgoing email messages and their attachments to stop malware from entering your system, or infecting someone else's (for example, a customer)
-
Client database accesses– ScanMail monitors database files that are modified in real time to prevent viruses from being archived among your stored database documents
-
Replications– ScanMail checks all files modified through the Notes database replicator in real time to keep viruses from being replicated from other Notes servers
In addition to real-time scan, ScanMail helps end the cycle of recurring infections
with manual or scheduled sweeps of the entire database and mail message attachments.
