Mode

Choose one of these options:

Check all extracted message attachments

Only message attachments are scanned.

Check all extracted message parts and MIME message

The complete messages, including attachments, are scanned.

Check MIME Message

Only the message is scanned (not attachments).

Reject infected messages

Infected messages will be immediately rejected by the server.

Delete infected messages

Infected messages will be accepted and deleted by the server.

This option is useful if you want to further process the message even though it contains a virus. For example, you could use content filters to forward the message to an AntiVirus team.

Remove infected attachments

Any attachments containing a virus will be removed from the message.

If an infected attachment cannot be removed, the message is rejected.

Note: This option will not function properly if the Check all extracted message parts and MIME message option is selected.

No action (specific content filter needed)

The message is flagged as spam, but no other action is performed.

Warning: Use this option only if you have a content filter set properly! The appropriate condition is Where Scanned by Antivirus.

This option is suitable e.g. for viruses analyses.
