Protecting Exchange Server 2003 from Viruses

Exchange Server 2003 does not provide what is typically thought of as antivirus software (i.e. an application that gets installed and enabled to scan for viruses) but it does provide various tools and an Antivirus Application Program Interface (AVAPI) that help to protect the messaging infrastructure from viruses and worms. Third-party vendors, such as the ones listed in Table 12.3, can hook their antivirus applications into the AVAPI to gain access to messages as they are handled by Exchange.
