Our servers use MailScanner" to manage and process emails.
Without getting into too many details, MailScanner can determine and filter out emails that are spam or contain viruses. Sometimes you might need to see if an email is stuck in our MailScanner and manage what happens to it, and more. We offer full control to our customers from within cPanel.
