ScanInArchive

Scan in archives:

If the setting is YES, all files in archives are unpacked and scanned, depending on

the settings for ArchiveMaxSize, ArchiveMaxRecursion and

ArchiveMaxRatio.

ScanInArchive YES

Archive

MaxSize

Maximum unpacked size of archived files:

There are some archived files that have useless content but intentionally expand to an

"irrational size" when unpacked in order to slow down the computer. This parameter

avoids unpacking such archive files.

If the setting is 0, all archived files are unpacked, whatever their size.

If the set value is >0, all archives that do not exceed the given value (in bytes) are

unpacked and scanned.

e.g.: 2KB (2 Kilobytes), 3MB (3 Megabytes).

ArchiveMaxSize 0

ArchiveMax

Ratio

Blocking "mail bombs":

Blocks so-called "mail bombs" with a very high compression ratio. You can set the

maximum difference between packed and unpacked file size.

The zero value deactivates this option (not recommended). The default is 150.

ArchiveMaxRatio 150

ArchiveMax

Recursion

Maximum archive recursion:

If the setting is 0, recursive (nested) archives are unpacked, whatever their

recursion depth.

If the set value is >0, all archives that do not exceed the given recursion depth are

unpacked. This saves processing time.

ArchiveMaxRecursion 20
