M-Switch AntiVirus
	Isode	http://www.isode.com
Virus Checking at the Boundary Enterprises should be providing anti-virus protection in two places. The first place, which is the primary target of most anti-virus solutions, is on the desktop. Desktop protection, both for individuals and staff within enterprises, is an important protection point, as this is where viruses generally attack. M-Switch offers complementary protection to desktop checking, by examining email messages as they come in and go out of an organization or service provider. How does boundary checking work? - A boundary email anti-virus solution has two components. 1. The software that checks for viruses. This will generally come from one of the specialist anti-virus companies, such as McAfee, Norton, F-Secure, Norman or Sophos. M-Switch can use any of these packages for virus checking. Isode has partnerships with Norman and Sophos, and Isode recommends these products are part of a total boundary anti-virus solution. 2. The software that handles the email, and controls which email is checked and how the overall process is managed at the email level. This is the capability provided by M-Switch. What does M-Switch do to support Anti-Virus checking? - The basic function of M-Switch to handle viruses is very simple. It takes an inbound stream of SMTP messages, separates out the message content to hand to a virus checker, and then sends clean messages onward by SMTP. M-Switch can be easily inserted into an SMTP message stream, to add anti-virus capability. The more detailed process is: * M-Switch has the concept of "channels" which perform specific functions on messages in the internal queue. There is a core anti-virus channel, which M-Switch uses to perform virus checking. This is programmable, so it may be invoked (by the same instance of M-Switch) with different parameters in different situation, or even with different virus checkers. * M-Switch can be configured to invoke the anti-virus channel on all messages, or on selected messages (e.g., "all inbound", "all outbound", "all messages from organization X", "all messages to user X". * M-Switch can control virus checking by size. In particular, virus checking can be skipped for very small messages (which are common and will be too small to carry a virus). * The virus checking channel can do various things on detecting a virus, including one or more of: o sending a customizable message back to the sender o sending a customizable message on to the intended recipient (example below) o removing the infected body part, and then replacing it with another body part (typically one that says "there was a virus infected thing here") o if the virus checker can clean up the virus, the channel can replace the infected body part with a clean one * The virus channel logs all activity, which can be processed into management reports as needed. * The virus channel has a framework, which can be used with any virus checker that provides an API or command line interface. Integration is straightforward. While the virus checker is usually run on the same machine as the message switch, it can also be set up to run remotely.
