Configuring anti-virus processing of objects: Anti-Virus for the Mailbox role

You can configure anti-virus processing of objects by selecting the action to be taken by Anti-Virus for the Mailbox role on each type of objects.

To configure object processing settings:

1. Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
   • To configure the settings of anti-virus processing of objects for an unassigned Security Server, maximize the node of the relevant Security Server;
   • To configure the settings of anti-virus processing of objects for Security Servers belonging to a profile, maximize the Profiles node and inside it maximize the node of the profile for whose Security Servers you want to configure the settings of anti-virus processing of objects.
2. Select the Server protection node.
3. On the Protection for the Mailbox role tab, expand the Virus scan settings configuration section.
4. In the Object processing settings section, define the following settings:
   • Infected object

     The drop-down list Infected object lets you select the action to be taken by the application upon detecting an infected object.

     The following options are available:

     • Allow. The application delivers the message with the infected object to the recipient unchanged.
     • Delete object. The application attempts to disinfect the infected object. If disinfection has failed, the application deletes the infected object and delivers the message to the recipient.
     • Delete message. The application completely deletes the message containing the infected object.
   • Protected object

     In the Protected object dropdown list, you can select the action to be performed by the application on detecting a password-protected object.

     The following options are available:

     • Allow. The application delivers the message with the password-protected object to the recipient unchanged.
     • Delete message. The application completely deletes the message containing the password-protected object.
5. To have the application save a copy of the object in Backup before processing it, select the Save a copy of the object in Backup.

If the application is running in a configuration with a DAG of Microsoft Exchange servers, the object processing settings defined for the Mailbox role on this server are automatically applied to other servers in this DAG. You do not have to configure anti-virus object processing for the Mailbox role on other servers in the DAG.
