X-pstnvirus Header

When a virus is detected, the email protection service inserts the X-pstnvirus header to show what virus was caught. The format of the header when a virus is detected by McAfee is:

X-pstnvirus: McAfee_Virus_Name

For further details on one of these viruses, you can search for McAfee_Virus_Name at the McAfee Virus Information Library site:

Messages with the X-pstnvirus header will be delivered to your users only in the following cases:

Virus disposition is set to Message Header Tagging for the organization that contains the user. In this case, all viruses will be tagged with the header and delivered to your mail server.

The administrator (or user, if allowed) delivers the infected or cleaned virus to the user.

The X-pstnvirus header is omitted only when virus protection is not enabled for a user, or there is no the email protection service user associated with the recipient’s address.
