Technology Overview
Mac OS X Server
ClamAV scans mail messages and attachments for viruses. Administrators choose how
ClamAV should handle a suspected virus. They can have the mail server bounce back
the message to the sender, delete the message immediately, or quarantine it in a spec-
i ed directory for further analysis. The server can also automatically generate an email
message notifying postmasters or senders that their message has been quarantined.
Junk mail and viruses can be easily avoided using the Server Admin utility.
In addition to these new capabilities, Mac OS X Server works with real-time blacklists.
The mail server will refuse incoming tra" c from hosts that are on any of the lists.
Your organization can even add its own junk mail blacklists. It’s also easy to prevent
unauthorized outsiders from using your server to send email, and to refuse email
messages that exceed a speci ed le size.
Additional standards-based mail solutions
Mac OS X Server provides a graphical user interface for Mailman, making it easy to
deploy one of the most popular listserv solutions in the world. Mailman features list
archiving, content ltering, and digest delivery options, as well as a web-based inter-
face that enables individual users to create and maintain lists.
Completing its suite of industry-standard mail solutions, Mac OS X Server includes
webmail services using the open source SquirrelMail project. SquirrelMail allows users
to access their email from any standards-based browser, with full support for MIME,
address books, and folders for organizing stored messages. PHP is fully integrated
with the Apache web server, so webmail pages render in pure HTML 4.0—with no
JavaScript required—for maximum compatibility across browsers. SquirrelMail is easy
to con gure and works with any IMAP server.
