Notification Settings
Insert Warning into Email
Subject (SMTP)
For SMTP e-mail messages, select this checkbox to insert a warning into
the e-mail subject line:
•
Malware Found
. If malware is found, a “[MALWARE INFECTED]”
message is inserted. You can change this default message.
•
No Malware Found
. If no malware is found, a “[MALWARE FREE]”
message is inserted. You can change this default message.
By default, this checkbox is deselected and no warnings are inserted.
Append Safe Stamp
(SMTP and POP3)
For SMTP and POP3 e-mail messages, select this checkbox to insert a
default safe stamp message at the end of an e-mail. The safe stamp
insertion serves as a security confirmation to the end user. You can change
the default message. By default, this checkbox is deselected and no safe
stamp is inserted.
Append Warning if
Attachment Exceeds
Scan Size Limit (SMTP
and POP3)
For SMTP and POP3 e-mail messages, select this checkbox to append a
default warning message to an e-mail if the message or an attachment to
the message exceeds the scan size limit. The warning message informs
the end user that the attachment was skipped and might not be safe to
open. You can change the default message. By default, this checkbox is
selected and a warning message is appended to the e-mail.
Replace Infected
Attachments with the
Following Warning
Message
Select this checkbox to replace an e-mail that is infected with a default
warning message. The warning message informs the end user about the
name of the malware. You can change the default message to include the
action that the STM has taken (see example below). By default, this
checkbox is selected and a warning message replaces an infected
e-mail.
Note
: Make sure that you keep the %VIRUSINFO% meta word in a
message to enable the STM to insert the proper malware information. The
following is an example message where the %VIRUSINFO% meta word is
replaced with the EICAR test virus:
“This attachment contains malware: File 1.exe contains malware EICAR.
Action: Delete.”
