P3Scan is a full transparent proxy server for email clients. It runs on a Linux box with iptables (for port redirection). It can be used to provide email scanning from the Internet to any internal network, and is ideal for helping to protect your "Other OS" LAN from harm, especially when used in conjunction with a firewall and other Internet proxy servers. It is designed to enable scanning of incoming email messages for viruses, worms, trojans, spam, and harmful attachments. Because viewing HTML email can enable a spammer to validate an email address (via Web bugs), it can also provide HTML stripping.
