✦ Synopsis

when the infected documents are forwarded by the Firewall to the LAN-based mail system --via the SMTP gateway --that they become dangerous. The gateway converts the encoded ASCII stream into a binary file, which could then become contagious if the recipients are unaware that the document is infected." Network Connection claims that its software removes this problem by supporting checking procedures on the MBLink family of gateways, which connect to cc:Mail, MS Mail, Lotus Notes, MHS/Global MHS, SMTP and ALL-IN-1/VMSmail. Checking is carried out on both mail messages and attached documents using the McAfee Virus Checker. Other DOS-based anti-virus checkers are supported.
