Setting Up Real-time Virus Scanning
To set up virus scanning:
- Go to Server > Mail.
- In the Antivirus preferences group, select the Kaspersky Antivirus option. Click OK.
- Go to Modules > Kaspersky Antivirus, and click the Antivirus Engine link.
- From the Use the following set of virus definitions menu, select the Extended item. Compared to the standard set, the extended set contains definitions for different types of malicious code (malware) other than viruses.
- Under the Log Settings group, specify where scanning report should be located and what amount of information should be presented in the report. Click OK.
- Go to Modules > Kaspersky Antivirus > Server-wide Scanning Settings tab.
- To specify what type of mail (incoming, outgoing or both) to scan for viruses, select the respective option from the Server-wide scanning settings menu.
- To allow your users to set individual virus protection settings for their mailboxes, select the check boxes for incoming mail and for outgoing mail next to the Allow personal settings field.
- To specify what to do with infected messages, click Scanning settings, and specify the following:
- Add X-header to e-mail. Leave this selected if you want Kaspersky Antivirus to add headers to scanned e-mail messages. These headers can be used for filtering mail by mail programs.
- Administrator's e-mail. Specify your e-mail if you want to receive scanning reports.
- Quarantine path. If you want antivirus to move infected messages to a quarantine directory after disinfection, specify the path to this directory.
- Actions on scanning completed. Use the items in the Infected row to specify what antivirus should do when an infected message is detected.
- Click OK to save the settings.
Now antivirus scans all mail in accordance with the settings you defined.
If want to set individual settings for a mailbox, refer to the chapter Applying Individual Scanning Settings for Mailboxes.
