Hi,

We have developed a simple email server, running as a Windows service. The email body is saved to a Microsoft Access 2003 (.mdb) file and the attachments are saved to disk. A seperate GUI is used to read and send the emails.

Can anyone advise me how to interface with anti-virus software so that the emails and attachments are scanned, as is done with other email programs, and users notified when required? Is there some way to do this generally or would it be specific to the particular anti-virus software used for each installation?

Yours truly,
Stephen

Check if your antivirus offers an SDK you can use to integrate to with your code.
