your email client program. Default ports are mostly used.
12.3.1.1. Action for concerning files
This configuration section contains settings for actions performed when MailGuard
finds a virus or unwanted program in an email or in an attachment.
Note
These actions are performed both when a virus is detected in incoming emails and when
a virus is detected in outgoing emails.
Action for concerning files
Interactive
If this option is enabled, a dialog window appears when a virus or unwanted program is
detected in an email or attachment in which you can choose what is to be done with the
email or attachment concerned. This option is enabled as the default setting.
Permitted actions
In this display box you can specify those actions that are to be displayed in the dialog box
in the event that a virus or unwanted program is detected. You need to activate the
corresponding options.
Move to quarantine
When this option has been activated, the email including all attachments is moved to
quarantine. It can be mailed by the quarantine manager later. The affected email is
deleted. The body of the text and any attachments of the email are replaced by a
standard text.
Delete
If this option is enabled, the affected email is deleted when a virus or unwanted program
is detected. The body of the text and any attachments of the email are replaced by a
standard text.
Delete attachment
If this option has been activated, the attachment concerned is replaced by a standard
text. If the body of the text of the email is affected, it will be erased and also replaced by
a standard text. The email itself is delivered.
Move attachment to quarantine
If this option has been activated, the attachment affected is moved to quarantine and
subsequently erased (replaced by a standard text). The body of the email is delivered. The
affected attachment can be delivered later by the quarantine manager.
Ignore
If this option is enabled, an affected email is delivered despite detection of a virus or
unwanted program.
Default
This button allows you to select an action that is activated in the dialog box by default
when a virus is detected. Select the action that should be activated by default and click
on the Default button.
