Email is archived (optional) enabling recent email to be re spooled to your server in the event of data loss at your site.
When using the Mailscan service, your e-mail is received by any one of our network of mail servers and carefully checked for the presence of many possible problems. Once cleared for delivery, the message is passed onto your own mail server for delivery to your users. The virus scanning process is seamless and has no real impact on mail delivery times. The whole process typically takes a few seconds.
