NEWT (Neutralize E-mail-Web Threats): freeware e-mail plug-in created by Avinti

NEWT (Neutralize E-mail-Web Threats) is a freeware e-mail plug-in created by Avinti®, a proactive e-mail security solutions company, that stops new, malicious malware attacks launched using spam e-mail messages.

NEWT is a scanning-based filter that works with existing mail servers such as SendMail and Proxim to block incoming e-mail that contains URLs or IP addresses that link to known malware Web sites.
