Scan files from custom input sources

MetaDefender Sandbox (previously known as OPSWAT Filescan Sandbox) has the ability to automatically monitor and scan files (e.g. E-Mail files on disc) from configurable input sources (network share, file on disc). For example: you could setup broker to scan a “mail directory” and auto-forward any newly found E-Mail to one or multiple application servers.

Example: reading mail files from disc:

• Setup a postfix server on Ubuntu (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-on-ubuntu-22-04). Make sure to use the “maildir” format, so that each E-Mail is stored in its own rfc822 file.
• Create an automatic BCC to your central “Scan Mailbox” (e.g. scan@yourdomain.com)
• Create an input source in broker, which points to the “Scan Mailbox” and hard deletes any processed files:

in1.path.Unix=/home/user/Maildir/new

in1.path.Windows=

in1.pollFrequency=5

in1.priority=100

in1.hardDeleteInputFiles=true

• Configure the "E-Mail Notification settings" section for automated notification
