Q: Users download messages to their email clients via POP3 (bypassing Microsoft Exchange server), but the
mailboxes are stored on Microsoft Exchange Server. Will these emails be subject to antivirus and antispam
scanning by ESET Mail Security?
A: In this type of configuration ESET Mail Security will scan the emails stored on the Microsoft Exchange Server only
for the presence of viruses (via VSAPI). Antispam scanning will not be realized as this requires an SMTP server.
Q: Can I define the level of spam score the message has to attain to be classified as SPAM?
A: Yes you can set this limit in ESET Mail Security version 4.3 and higher (see chapter Antispam engine parameter
setup ).
Q: Does the ESET Mail Security Antispam Protection module scan also messages that are downloaded via POP3
Connector?
A: Messages downloaded via POP3 Connector are scanned for the presence of spam only on SBS 2008.
