What messages are protected by UVas Email Virus Protection Service?
The Email Virus Protection Service (EVPS) drops messages which: • contain attachment(s) and MIME types which are banned or that have attachments that match known virus signatures; and • are sent: • to primary UVa email addresses (e.g., mst3k@virginia.edu), • to/from accounts on UVa’s Central Mail Service (e.g., mst3k@cms.mail.virginia.edu), • to/from accounts on the UVa Exchange Service (e.g., mst3k@eservices.virginia.edu), • to UVa email aliases (e.g., mthomas@virginia.edu), or • to Mailman mailing lists (e.g., uvaworkgrp@virignia.edu). The EVPS does not process messages to or from departmental email servers (unless the inbound message is sent to a primary address or email alias address that then directs the message to the departmental server). The EVPS also does not process messages to student and alumni email accounts provided by UVa-contracted vendors, as the vendors themselves provide this service.
