Virus Filtering

Central Virus Filtering

E-mail sent to you at your "@umich.edu" address that contains an attachment is checked for viruses at the U-M e-mail gateway. If a virus is found, the email will be deleted if the message was generated by a virus; otherwise, it is returned to the sender with notification that it was not delivered because it contains an infected attachment.

Outgoing e-mail—that is, mail sent through ITCS's SMTP mail relay machines—is also checked for viruses.

For more detail about this filtering, see E-Mail Virus Filtering at U-M on the ITCS web site.

You Still Need Antivirus Software

E-mail isn't the only way for viruses to reach and infect your computer, so you still need to install and use antivirus software. See our Antivirus Software page for details.
