Inflex is a solution to the problem of scanning emails which are passing through your server, both local and outbound.

Inflex is an OpenSource solution provided to the community by PLD (Software), the developers of many other OpenSource projects and the Xamime content-control software.

Inflex give to you the ability to block or pass email based on any set of tests you choose, varying from Virus scans to Email text content. Inflex can do this because it unpacks all email sent through it in such a way that normal UNIX tests can be performed to determine the nature of the email.

The need for a system as Inflex arose out of the need to be able to tightly control and filter emails at a central location, existing scanning systems could only scan local mail. Local mail only scanning is a serious limitation when a corporation is trying to prevent unwanted email from getting out to the world.

Inflex's ability to scan for arbitary file names and types allows administrators to react instantly to virus threats which may not yet be detectable in antivirus packages [typical delays between virus deployment and antivirus updates can be as long as 48 hours, more than ample to cause an entire network to be crippled].
