CHAPTER 6 191
Administering F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Mail
6.3.10 Security Options
You can configure the Security Options from F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Internet Mail / Settings / Inbound Mail / Security Options.
Figure 6-16 Inbound Mail / Security Options settings
Action on malformed
mails Specify the action to take when a malformed
e-mail message (a message that has incorrect
format) arrives. Because of the malformed
structure, the product cannot reliably parse the
e-mail message and thus there is a risk that
malicious code will pass undetected.
Drop - The malformed message is moved to the
quarantine folder if Quarantine Problematic
Mails setting is enabled. For more information,
see “ Quarantine ” , 151 .
The administrator receives a security alert about
the stripped attachment.
Pass Through - The product does not scan
malformed content and lets the e-mail message
pass through unless malicious code is found in
the rest of the message.
