4.2.4.1 Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 (VSAPI 1.0)
This version of Microsoft Exchange Server includes VSAPI version 1.0.
The
Background scanning
option allows scanning of all messages in the system background. Microsoft Exchange
Server decides whether a background scan will run or not, based on various factors, such as the current system load,
the number of active users, etc. Microsoft Exchange Server keeps a record of scanned messages and the virus
signature database version used. If you are opening a message that has not been scanned by the most current virus
signature database, Microsoft Exchange Server sends the message to ESET Mail Security to be scanned before
opening the message in your e-mail client.
Since background scanning can affect system load (scanning is performed after each virus signature database update),
we recommend using scheduled scanning outside working hours. Scheduled background scanning can be configured
via a special task in the Scheduler/Planner. When you schedule a Background scanning task you can set the launch
time, the number of repetitions and other parameters available in the Scheduler/Planner. After the task has been
scheduled, it will appear in the list of scheduled tasks and, as with the other tasks, you can modify its parameters,
delete it or temporarily deactivate the task.
