Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers MR 6

About the script for sending spam for analysis

The Anti-Spam modules blocks spam messages using the currently known signatures of spam mailings. On receiving spam messages unknown to the Anti-Spam module, the user can send these unfiltered spam samples to Kaspersky specialists for processing. This makes it possible to quickly add new signatures to the databases of the Anti-Spam module, block the spam mailing, thereby preventing any further deliveries of spam.

Users can send spam samples to Kaspersky by placing them into the Junk Email folder. Spam messages can be located in the Junk Email folder of the mailboxes of specified users and sent to a specified address by means of a script for sending spam for analysis. The script sends only messages that were added to the Junk Email folder no sooner than the specified number of days back, provided that such messages have not been detected by other anti-spam mail protection systems.

The script sends messages from the Junk Email folder with their entire contents to Kaspersky. You have to notify the users of mailboxes that moving messages to the Junk Email folder means confirming that those messages contain no confidential data.

The script is executed under an account that has an email address within the organization's Microsoft Exchange infrastructure and has access to Exchange Web Services. This account should have rights to edit the Junk Email folders in all mailboxes that are processed.

For purposes of keeping the log operation script and managing the configuration file with script settings, the account under which the script is executed should have privileges to write to the folder where the script is stored (<Application setup folder\SpamForwarder>).

To open the folder with the script,

in the Start menu, select Programs → Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers → Script for sending spam to research.

The Microsoft Exchange Web Services Managed API 2.0 program interface is required to run the script intended for sending spam for research. Download the software module of this interface by clicking the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35371 and store it in the bin subfolder of the folder containing the script.
