Use real-time black lists
When this option is enabled, a so-called "black list" is queried in real time, which
provides additional information to classify emails of dubious origin as spam.
Timeout: n second(s)
If the information of a black list is not available after n seconds, the attempt to query
the black list is aborted.

Automatically add recipients of outgoing mails to white list
If this option is enabled, the recipient addresses of outgoing emails are automatically
added to the spam whitelist (list of emails not scanned for spam, defined in
Protection > General > Exceptions
). Incoming emails sent from addresses on the
spam white list are not scanned for spam. They are, however, scanned for viruses and
malware. This option is disabled as the default setting.
Note
This option can only be enabled if the Mail Protection scan of outgoing emails is
enabled (see the option
Scan outgoing emails
under
Mail Protection > Scan
)
Footer
Under
Footer
you can configure an email footer which is displayed in the emails you
send. (Options available in expert mode only.)
This function requires activation of the Mail Protection scan of outgoing emails (see option
Scan outgoing emails (SMTP)
under
Configuration > Mail Protection > Scan
). You can
use the defined Avira Mail Protection footer to confirm the sent email has been scanned by
a virus protection program. You also have the option of inserting text yourself for a user-
defined footer. If you use both footer options, the user-defined text is preceded by the
Avira Mail Protection footer.
Footer for emails to be sent
Attach Mail Protection footer
If this option is enabled, the Avira Mail Protection footer is displayed beneath the
message text of the sent email. The Avira Mail Protection footer confirms that the sent
email has been scanned for viruses and unwanted programs by Avira Mail Protection
and does not originate from an unknown bot. The Avira Mail Protection footer contains
the following text: "
Scanned with Avira Mail Protection [product version] [initials and
version number of search engine] [initials and version number of virus definition file]
".
