Does GMS Anti-Virus scan all files?

Answer:
Yes.

Gordano’s GMS Anti-Virus takes the encoded file attachments, decodes them and passes them to the virus checking software. If GMS Anti-Virus finds a virus in the decoded file, it acts according to your specifications configured through the GMS Anti-Virus GUI. Otherwise, the attachment is reattached to the mail message and it is passed to the recipient in the normal way. If a virus is found in the attachment it may also be removed.

If the file fails the check and a possible virus is found, the message can be returned to the sender, rejected, quarantined, redirected to another mailbox for dealing with later or allowed to pass through the system in the normal way. In addition, you can generate an alert message for sending to the Postmaster, the recipient and/or the sender of the message. If you return the message to the sender you can append a message warning them that there may be a virus in the message attachment. GMS Anti-Virus will also allow you to disinfect a virus before it is sent on.
