Fact file

Sector: Internet
Location: Germany
Environment: 55 employees receive emails larger than 40 GB through qmail run on FreeBSD
Solution: SAV Interface, part of Email Security and Control

Business challenge

  • SpaceNet intended that I-Sec Mail would be an application service provider solution. So the company looked not only for antivirus software, but also for a virus scanner that could best serve as the foundation of the application.

Technology solution

  • Sophos Anti-Virusprovided high-quality virus protection with excellent performance.
  • The Sophos Anti-Virus engine needed to be integrated with the "qmail" mailing program. This was carried out quickly and simply using SAV Interface. This allows the virus engine to be easily integrated with other third-party products.

Business results

  • Sophos's 24/7 support means I-Sec Mail stays up to date at all times, and SpaceNet's customers are also pleased with the chosen antivirus solution. No infected emails have found their way into the network.
