The Anomy sanitizer is what most people would call "an email virus
scanner". That description is not totally accurate, but it does cover
one of the more important jobs that the sanitizer can do for you - it
can scan email attachments for viruses. Other things it can do:
* Disable potentially dangerous HTML code, such as javascript,
within incoming email.
* Protect you from email-based break-in attempts which exploit bugs
in common email programs (Outlook, Eudora, ..).
* Block or "mangle" attachments based on their file names. This way
if you don't *need* to recieve e.g. visual basic scripts, then you
don't have to worry about the security risk they imply. This lets
you protect yourself and your users from whole classes of attacks,
without relying on complex, resource intensive and outdated virus
scanning solutions.
