•
scanning e-mail messages received by the Exchange server via SMTP
protocol for SPAM
including the analysis of all attributes and attachments
of the message. Depending on the settings, the application will deliver the
message to the
Inbox
folder, move the message to the
Junk E-mail
folder, block the message or delete it. In addition to the first two actions,
special markers can be added to the subject line of the message;
•
saving backup copies of the message's objects
before an attempt to
disinfect or delete such object (during an anti-virus scan) and copies of
messages before they are blocked or deleted (during an anti-spam scan);
copies are saved to a special storage for the consequent restoring which
prevents the loss of data. Configurable filters allow to easily locate the
original copies of objects;
•
notifying
the sender, the recipient and the system administrator about
messages that contain malicious objects or may contain SPAM.
•
maintaining the event log and creating regular reports
about the operation
of the application, the status of the anti-virus protection and anti-spam
protection
.
The application allows generation of reports using templates
with a preset level of detail and at a required interval;
•
detecting virus outbreaks as they emerge and notifying about such events.
The application identifies attempts of mass-mailing infected messages
both from the Internet and from the computers within the corporate
network;
•
configuring application settings
depending on the intensity and the nature
of the traffic as well as the characteristics of the hardware installed
(amount of RAM, speed, number of processors, etc.);
•
updating the anti-virus database and content filtration database
automatically or manually. The databases can be updated from the
Kaspersky Lab's FTP and HTTP web servers or from a local/network
folder that contains the latest set of updates;
•
scanning old (previously scanned) messages
for the presence of new
viruses each time your anti-virus database is updated or according to the
schedule. This task is performed as a background scan and does not
have any considerable effect on the performance of the mail server;
•
creating the list of protected storage areas
, which offers additional
flexibility in regards with license restrictions on the number of protected
mailboxes;
•
managing license keys
.
