Anti-virus protection
49
Some objects cannot be infected. In order to decrease the load on the server
when performing anti-virus processing of e-mail messages, we recommend to
determine the types and/or the names of such files and filter them out when
scanning the mail. In order to do this, use the exclusion settings by file masks
and by the file types.
In order to exclude the objects from the scan scope using masks,
1. Check
the
Files defined by mask
box in the
Exclude from the
scan scope
group of boxes.
2. Create the list of exclusions using the
Append...
and the
Delete
buttons.
Enter a new mask in the
Adding a mask
(see Figure 13)
window
that will open.

– all files with mask

•
