spamBlocker
216 Firebox X Edge e-Series
3. By default, VOD scans inbound email messages up to a 40 kilobyte limit. You can increase or decrease
this limit with the Limit VOD scanning to first text box. If you configure a larger limit for spamBlocker
as described in step 5, the larger limit is used.
If you type a very large number in this text box, your network throughput may be slow. We recommend that you
keep the scan limit under 50 kilobytes (KB).
4. If spamBlocker VOD detects a virus in a POP3 message, the virus is automatically stripped. Use the
Virus is detected (SMTP only) drop-down list to select the action you want spamBlocker to take if a
virus is detected in an SMTP message.
5. At the bottom of the page, you can set the number of bytes of an email message that spamBlocker
checks with the Limit scanning to first text box.
If you type a very large number in this text box, your network throughput may be slow. We recommend that you
keep the scan limit under 50 kilobytes (KB).
