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.
