Description

Amavisd-new is an open-source mail filter application that is designed to detect and block malicious email traffic. It is capable of scanning both incoming and outgoing email messages for malicious content, such as viruses, malware, phishing attempts, and spam. It also has the ability to filter for specific content and block emails containing such content. Additionally, it can be used to protect organizations from email-based attacks, such as denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Amavisd-new can also be configured to perform various actions on detected malicious emails, such as deleting them, bouncing them back to the sender, or forwarding them to a designated administrator. In addition to the core functionality of scanning and blocking malicious emails, amavisd-new can be used to perform additional tasks, such as whitelisting, blacklisting, and logging.
