Protection against e-mail viruses
The University IT Services runs and operates a central virus scanner for the University’s central mailserver. This virus scanner detects any e-mails with a virus, sends it to an isolated folder and informs senders and receivers (if available). This scanner is only for viruses in e-mails entering the University system. For technical reasons, all e-mails exiting the system do not undergo a virus scan.
Despite this virus scanning, we strongly recommend all users to install a virus scanner on their personal computers.
Here you will find data regarding the amount rejected viruses.
