3. Tell the E-Mail Scan module which mail sources it should monitor:
• If you chose Microsoft Exchange (MAPI) as your corporate e-mail
system, the Folders area shows All incoming mail , which means
that the module will look for viruses in files attached to each e-mail
message as it arrives in your MAPI mailbox or via other MAPI
services.
• If you chose Lotus cc:Mail as your corporate e-mail system, you’ll
need to tell the module how often to scan your cc:Mail Inbox ( Figure
4-19 ).
Figure 4-19. Detection page with cc:Mail option chosen
In the Folders area, enter the number of seconds the E-Mail Scan
module should wait before it checks your cc:Mail Inbox for new
mail. By default, the module checks once every minute. Be sure to
set an interval shorter than the interval you set to receive your
e-mail so that module has an opportunity to detect any viruses
before they reach your computer.
4. Specify the types of e-mail attachments you want the E-Mail Scan
module to examine. You can
• Scan compressed files. Select the Compressed files checkbox to
have the module look for viruses in compressed files or in file
archives. This option ensures that viruses do not spread from
compressed files, but because the module uncompresses these files
before it scans them, choosing this option can lengthen the time it
takes to scan a given set of files as you work with your computer.
Š
NOTE: When the E-Mail Scan module examines a file archive,
it will scan only the file archive itself, not the compressed files
within the archive. To learn which files and archives the
module scans, see
“Current list of compressed files scanned”
