Forwarding infected files to the Central Quarantine
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP can forward messages that contain infected
attachments and files within attachments to a separately installed Central
Quarantine server. The Central Quarantine must be installed on a Windows
2000 Server computer. Typically, heuristically detected viruses that cannot be
repaired by the current set of virus definitions are forwarded to the Central
Quarantine and isolated so that the viruses cannot spread.
A copy of each message that contains a virus is forwarded to the Quarantine
server. If more than one virus is found within one message, two copies of the
message are forwarded (one containing the first virus, the other with the
second).
From the Central Quarantine, these items are submitted to Symantec Security
Response for analysis. If a new virus is identified, updated virus definitions are
returned using LiveUpdate.
See
“Updating virus and spam definitions files”
on page 84.
Warning:
If you configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to forward infected
messages
to the Central Quarantine, and the Central Quarantine is not running,
files accumulate in the quarantine directory and may severely degrade
performance.
