5.2. Scanning of the inbound e-mail messages
Scanning of the inbound e-mail messages is performed at the time of message transmission
between MTA and MDA (as marked by symbol S1 in figure 3-1). The generic scheme of the
process is shown in the figure 5-1.

The incoming e-mail is scanned by nod32mda module supported by daemon nod32d. Scanned
e-mail is afterwards forwarded to the original MDA for further delivery to the MAILBOX.
As shown in the figure 5-1, the virus scanning feature can be enabled by appropriate configu-
ration setting of the MTA agent and nod32mda module. It is also apparent from the figure that
the solution is MDA independent.
Note: The majority of mail servers use procmail or maildrop (MDA). The nod32mda module
supports any MDA. The following MDAs were tested: procmail, maildrop, deliver and lo-
cal.mail.
In general, the virus scanning feature can be enabled in two ways described below.
