NOTE
E-mail scanning is not supported for these e-mail clients:
Web-based, IMAP, AOL, POP3 SSL, and Lotus Notes.
However, ActiveShield scans e-mail attachments when they
are opened.
If you disable the
Scan e-mail and attachments
option, the
E-mail Scan options (
Figure 2-2 on page 17
) and the
WormStopper options (
Figure 2-5 on page 22
) are
automatically disabled. If you disable outbound e-mail
scanning, the WormStopper options are automatically
disabled.
If you change your e-mail scanning options, you must restart
your e-mail program to complete the changes.
