The Manage section on the Policy tab sidebar
includes links to three pages where you can set the behavior of Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus
filtering:
- The Anti-Virus Options page allows you to set options such as
whether pre-analysis of the message contents is done to save processing time,
whether virus scanning is run as a system service, what the behavior should be when
the anti-virus engine fails, and how the anti-virus engine should handle archive
scanning.
- The Anti-Spam Rules page allows you to set which anti-spam
rules are enabled or disabled and what the relative weight and probability
adjustment percentage is for each rule. You can also create new anti-spam rules.
Note: Sophos does not recommend adjusting anti-spam rules because they are
automatically updated by SophosLabs on a regular basis. It is also advised that
you consult with Sophos support before attempting to create any new anti-spam
rules. If you are receiving false positives or false negatives, Sophos asks that
you forward these messages to SophosLabs for our analysts to investigate. See
"PureMessage Feedback" in the Contacting Sophos section for more
information.
- The Anti-Spam Options page allows you to set how much of a
message should be scanned, whether non-relay checks should be enabled or disabled,
whether network checks are enabled or disabled, and what special language character
sets are enabled.
