4.1.2.2.1 Appending tag messages to email body
Each email scanned by ESET Mail Security can be marked by appending a tag message to the subject or email body.
This feature increases the level of credibility for the recipient and if an infiltration is detected, it provides valuable
information about the threat level of a given email or sender.
The options for this functionality are available through Advanced setup > Antivirus and antispyware > Email
client protection. You can select to Append tag messages to received and read mail, as well as Append tag
messages to sent mail. You also have the ability to decide whether tag messages are appended to all scanned
email, to infected email only, or not at all.
ESET Mail Security also allows you to append messages to the original subject of infected messages. To enable
appending to the subject, select both the Append note to the subject of received and read infected email and
Append note to the subject of sent infected email options.
The content of notifications can be modified in the Template added to the subject of infected email field. The
previously mentioned modifications can help automate the process of filtering infected email, as it allows you to
filter email with a specific subject (if supported in your email client) to a separate folder.
4.1.2.3 Removing infiltrations
If an infected email message is received, an alert window will display. The alert window shows the sender name,
email and the name of the infiltration. In the lower part of the window the options Clean, Delete or Leave are
available for the detected object. In almost all cases, we recommend that you select either Clean or Delete. In
certain situations, if you wish to receive the infected file, select Leave.
If Strict cleaning is enabled, an information window with no options available for infected objects will displayed.
