Can F-Secure Anti-Virus for Firewalls scan and strip attachments from partial messages?
Some gateways and mail servers reject messages that are too large. Therefore, a user might want to split the message into smaller parts that can be combined back together on the receiving end. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Firewalls cannot handle these partial messages as a single file, as parts may go through the gateway with delays and not necessarily even in the correct order. However, if F-Secure Anti-Virus for Firewalls finds malicious code from one of the message parts, that part is dropped and the message cannot be combined back together. It is highly recommended to restrict partial messages on a firewall side to ensure that the system has high-level protection against malicious code.
