Email Tests
Send &
Receive Test - This test will start your email program and send
a message to our auto-reply server using your normal email program.
This link will open your email program and fill in the address and
subject lines. Send the email as normal and expect to receive a
reply within a couple of minutes. This test will alert you to any
problems sending and receiving emails.
Email
Virus Scanner Test - This test does the same as the Send &
Receive Test above, except our server will send a reply with 4
attachments that have apparent viruses.
Please note that the attachments (the EICAR test virus) have a
string of data that ONLY resembles a virus and is used for testing
anti-virus programs.
The attached files however are absolutely safe and contain NO ACTUAL
VIRUSES.
Your anti-virus software should detect these attachments as viruses
and prevent you from saving or opening them.
If your anti-virus program does not block access to ALL the
attachments it isn't doing its job.
If your anti-virus program does not block all attachments no harm
will be done in this case. However, a real virus could well be an
issue.
