AvAc — Server-Level Email Anti-Virus

Stop viruses, worms, and malicious content at the gateway — before they ever reach a single desktop on your network.

Why Gateway Protection?

Stop the Threat Before It Enters Your Network

Desktop anti-virus software relies on each user to keep definitions updated and to act sensibly with attachments. In a busy office, that's wishful thinking — especially with worms that disguise themselves as messages from known contacts.

AvAc runs as an add-on module directly on the Postmaster email server — the gateway into your network. Every message is scanned and cleaned before it is delivered to any recipient. The end-user never sees infected content, and the decision is never left to them.

Three Points of Anti-Virus Defense

1
Internet Mail Server
Outside your network — third-party solution required.
2
Postmaster + AvAc (Your Gateway) ✓
AvAc scans here — BEFORE messages reach any desktop. This is where AvAc operates.
3
Individual Desktops
Per-desktop AV — depends on user behavior and update discipline.
