Norton AntiVirus for Gateways - 3.1

Symantec Mail Security for SMTP provides high-performance, integrated mail protection against virus threats, spam, and other unwanted content at the earliest point of network entry, the Internet email (SMTP) gateway. Award-winning virus protection defends against new and known viruses using Symantec's extensible NAVEX antivirus technology, and attachment and subject line blocking features enhance protection by providing hour-zero responses against emerging threats. In addition, a new Mass-Mailer Cleanup feature eliminates worm-infected messages.

Multi-layered antispam protection combines enhanced antispam heuristics, custom filtering rules, real-time and custom blacklists, and various whitelisting techniques to maximize detections and minimize false positives. Auto-generated whitelists automatically capture mail domains that are trusted by the organization, simplifying the task of generating a comprehensive whitelist. In addition, flexible spam handling allows administrators to insert custom tags into spam messages, assign different dispositions based on spam score thresholds, and distribute tasks associated with controlling spam. Unwanted content can also be controlled by filtering for message characteristics such as subject line, attachment, message size, and words and phrases in body text. In addition, administrators can set flexible policies, schedule updates, receive system and security alerts, and generate management reports from secure Web browsers.

Symantec Mail Security for SMTP incorporates award-winning Symantec antivirus technologies that enable administrators to update dynamically, without stopping scan services or incurring server downtime. With its integrated LiveUpdate™ functionality, virus cures can be deployed rapidly across the enterprise, providing optimal protection against quickly spreading threats. And it's backed by Symantec Security Response, the world's leading antivirus and Internet security research and support organization.
