Mail Anti-Virus
101
Warning!
If you use Microsoft Office Outlook to connect to your email service on IMAP, you
are advised not to use
Scan upon receiving
mode. Enabling this mode will lead
to emails being copied to the local computer when delivered to the server, and
consequently the main advantage of IMAP is lost – creating less traffic and
dealing with unwanted email on the server without copying them to the user’s
computer.
The Mail Anti-Virus plug-in version for the 64-bit version of The Bat! is not
available in this version of Kaspersky Internet Security.
The action that will be taken on dangerous email objects is set in the Mail Anti-
Virus settings, which can be configured by following the click here link in the
Status section.
8.2.3. Configuring email scans in The Bat!
Actions taken on infected email objects in The Bat! are defined with the
program's own tools.
Warning!
The Mail Anti-Virus settings that determine whether incoming and
outgoing email is scanned, as well as actions on dangerous email
objects and exclusions, are ignored. The only settings that The Bat!
takes into account relate to
scanning archived attachments and time
limits on scanning emails
(see 8.2.1 on pg. 97).
This version of Kaspersky Internet Security does not provide Mail Anti-
Virus plug-ins for 64-bit The Bat!
To set up email protection rules in The Bat!:
1. Select
Preferences
from the email client’s
Options
menu.
2. Select
Protection
from the settings tree.
The protection settings displayed (see fig. Figure 27) extend to all anti-virus
