The following virus-handling options are available:
- Clean the Message: When the anti-virus engine detects a virus in a message,
PureMessage can attempt remove the virus
from the message. If the virus cannot be cleaned from the message, PureMessage removes the infected attachment and
generates and generates a notification message for the recipient, based on a
template. This is the default behavior in the policy for messages that originate
from external hosts.
- Reject or Discard the Message: PureMessage can either reject or discard messages
containing viruses. By default, messages originating from internal hosts are
rejected.
- Scanfailed Action: When a message contains content that cannot be scanned,
such as an encrypted attachment, PureMessage
can take specific action, based on the virus engine's response to the failed
scan.
