For each job type, you can define individual conditions, all of which must apply for the

specified action to be executed. Address filtering can be performed by all job types. You

can, for example, create a job that quarantines and deletes all messages (without

forwarding them to their recipient) that were sent from the domains *@gmx.net and

*@hotmail.com, are larger than 500 KB, contain the word "Look" in the subject field and

belong to the fingerprint category Sound. This would be an AntiVir Attachment/Size

Filtering Job.

Avira AntiVir Exchange is delivered with a number of standard jobs, which can be

adapted to your requirements. Of course, you can also create your own jobs.

Preconfigured jobs are available under Policy Configuration - Job Templates. With the

mouse, drag the desired job to Mail Transport Jobs. There is no limit to the number of

jobs you can create. The order in which the jobs will be processed is shown in the job list

in Mail Transport Jobs. For additional information refer to Job Processing Sequence .

A job can be enabled or disabled. To prevent a job being run, you can simply disable it:

you do not have to permanently delete it from your configuration.

For each job, on the Actions tab, you can specify the actions to be executed when a

message meets the defined criteria or is virus-infected.

3.3.2.4 Actions

Quarantine folder, where it can be viewed any

time.

deleted from the server. If selected, a copy is first
