Configure a Virus Filter
Email Protection uses multiple virus scanning applications to analyze email to determine
if a virus may be present. In your custom policy, you can configure how Email Protection
handles an email that contains a known virus.
Important Note:
If an email is detected that contains a wide-spread worm or virus (for
example, SoBig or MyDoom), Email Protection may automatically block that email,
regardless of the settings in your custom policy.
