Description-en: transparent POP3-proxy with virus- and spam-scanning
p3scan uses iptables port re-direction to intercept outgoing POP3
connections. It provides different types of email scanning and is ideal
for helping to protect your "Other OS" LAN from harm, especially when
used in conjunction with a firewall and other Internet Proxy servers.
.
It is designed to enable scanning of incoming email messages for
virus's, worms, trojans, spam, and harmful attachments. Because viewing
HTML mail can enable a spammer to validate an email address (via Web
bugs), it can also provide HTML stripping.
