+MailScanner is a complete e-mail security system designed for use on 
+e-mail gateways. It protects against viruses, and detects attacks against 
+e-mail client packages (such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora). It can 
+also detect almost all unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) passing through 
+it and respond to all incidents in a wide variety of ways. 
+
+Not only can it scan for known viruses, but it can also protect against unknown 
+viruses hidden inside e-mail attachments by refusing entry to attachments whose 
+filenames match any given pattern. This can include generic patterns that trap 
+filenames attempting to hide the true filename extension (e.g. ".txt.vbs"). 
+
+It is superior to many commercial packages in its ability to handle attacks 
+against itself, such as Denial Of Service attacks caused by messages containing
+the "Zip of Death". It is easy to install into an existing e-mail gateway, 
+requiring very little knowledge of sendmail and no change to an existing 
+sendmail configuration. 
+
+MailScanner itself is entirely open source, but it uses widely known commercial
+virus scanning packages at its core. The other software it uses is all high 
+quality open source software, leading to a system that can be trusted for 
+performance and reliability.
