User manual

The result of this scan is compared with the denied/ allowed fingerprints under
Fingerprint conditions (set in the job properties) and blocked or delivered accordingly.
For denied files, the job actions are performed, for instance for a mail with a denied
attachment:
• The denied attachment is copied to the Quarantine folder.
