Symproxy uses this API to submit the attachment for malware scanning.

Malware Scanner implementation should initiate the malware scanning of the attachment after receiving the file successfully.

ℹ️ • It is highly recommended that the API call does not enforce the malware-scanning operation synchronously. Instead, queue the request to some internal queue and return the response back, unblocking the client (Symproxy). • The service should be idempotent. There could be multiple submissions for the same file.

🚧 When invoking the malware-scanner/v1/file endpoint on the scanner, symproxy will wait a maximum of 10 seconds for a response from the scanner. If it does not get a response in 10 seconds, it will retry. It will try three times to invoke the malware-scanner/v1/file endpoint on the scanner if each previous attempt is unsuccessful.
