Installation manual

Add to the body of scanned messages: offers three options:

Do not append to messages

Append to infected messages only

Append to all scanned messages

By enabling Add to the subject of infected messages, ESET Mail Security will append a notification tag to the

email subject with the value defined in the Template added to the subject of infected messages text field (by

default [virus %VIRUSNAME%]). The above-mentioned modifications can automate infected-email filtering by

filtering email with a specific subject (if supported in your email client) to a separate folder.

NOTE: You can also use system variables when adding a template to the message subject.

3.2.4 Automatic exclusions

The developers of server applications and operating systems recommend excluding sets of critical working files and

folders from antivirus scans for most of their products. Antivirus scans may have a negative influence on a server's

performance, lead to conflicts and even prevent some applications from running on the server. Exclusions help

minimize the risk of potential conflicts and increase the overall performance of the server when running antivirus

software.

ESET Mail Security identifies critical server applications and server operating system files and automatically adds

them to the list of Exclusions. Once added to the list, the server process/application can be enabled (by default) by

checking the appropriate box or disabled by unchecking it, with the following result:

1) If an application/operating system exclusion remains enabled, any of its critical files and folders will be added to

the list of files excluded from scanning (Advanced setup > Computer protection > Antivirus and antispyware

> Exclusions). Every time the server is restarted, the system performs an automatic check of exclusions and

restores any exclusions that may have been deleted from the list. This is the recommended setting, if you wish to

make sure the recommended Automatic exclusions are always applied.

2) If the user disables an application/operating system exclusion, its critical files and folders remain on the list of

files excluded from scanning (Advanced setup > Computer protection > Antivirus and antispyware >

Exclusions). However, they will not be automatically checked and renewed on the Exclusions list every time the

server is restarted (see point 1 above). We recommend this setting for advanced users, who wish to remove or

modify some of the standard exclusions. If you wish to have removed the exclusions from the list without

restarting the server, you will need to remove them manually from the list (Advanced setup > Computer

protection > Antivirus and antispyware > Exclusions).

Any user-defined exclusions entered manually under Advanced setup > Computer protection > Antivirus and

antispyware > Exclusions will not be affected by the settings described above.

The Automatic exclusions of server applications/operating systems are selected based on Microsoft's

recommendations. For details, please see the following links:
