6.3. Defining an e-mail scan policy
Using Kaspersky Anti-Virus, the mail server administrator can customize the anti-
virus protection of incoming and outgoing e-mail messages by defining scan
policies.
There are two types of policies:
•
message
– Scan the entire message for viruses, regardless of its
separate objects (header, body, attachment). This policy also aims to
detect viruses that infect and corrupt MIME messages.
If a message is flagged as clean during the scan, its separate objects
won't be analyzed. It will be delivered to the recipient. This policy
guaranties faster scanning of the clean message than a combined policy
(see below).
If a message is flagged as infected and the preset action for such
messages is
cure
or
delete
, the program will subsequently analyze all
message objects.
•
combined
– Scan both the entire message and then, regardless of the
scan results, analyze all message objects for viruses (header, body, and
attachment).
To analyze separate message objects, the application first breaks the message
down into individual components, scans each component separately, and then
restores the message integrity.
The
message
policy is less strict, and, hence, requires less time and resources.
The
combined
policy provides the most thorough analysis of e-mail messages.
The type of the policy is defined by the
ScanPolicy
parameter in the
[kavmilter.global]
section.
6.4. Adjusting scan thoroughness
The mail server administrator can adjust the level of anti-virus protection,
including the following issues:
•
Enable or disable the
heuristic code analyzer
for scanning messages.
