Configuring KATA protection

Before configuring KATA protection settings in a message processing rule, make sure that KATA integration has been configured in the general protection settings.

To configure KATA protection in a message processing rule:

1. In the application web interface window, select the Rules section.
2. In the rules table, select the rule for which you want to configure KATA protection.

   This opens the View rule window.

3. Click Edit.

   Rule settings become editable.

4. In the left pane, select the KATA Protection section.
5. Use the toggle switch on the right of the section title to enable or disable KATA protection for messages that match the rule criteria.

   KATA protection is disabled by default.

6. If you enabled KATA protection at the previous step, use the In case of detection drop-down list to select the action to take on messages:
   • Skip.
     

     Deliver message to recipient

   • Reject.
     

     Do not deliver message to recipient. Send SMTP session error code to the sender server if possible. If error code cannot be sent, send SMTP session success code to the sender server, and a non-delivery report might be sent to the sender of the original message

   • Delete message.
     

     Do not deliver message to recipient. Send SMTP session success code to the sender server. No non-delivery report is sent to the sender of the original message

   The Delete message action is selected by default.

7. If you want messages with detected objects to be automatically placed in Backup based on the results of a scan on the KATA server, select the Place original message in Backup check box.

   This check box is selected by default.

8. If you want the application to add a tag to the beginning of the subject of messages in which objects are detected by KATA scans, type the text of the tag in the text box under the Place original message in Backup check box.

   The [KATA detect] tag is added by default.

9. If you want notifications to be sent based on the results of the scan, under Notifications, click Add and configure the following:
   1. In the Template drop-down list, select a notification template.
   2. Under Recipients, select check boxes next to the recipients of the notification. Recipients may be:
      • Recipients from the general list.

        This option is available if the general list of recipients contains at least one email address.

      • Message recipients.
      • Message sender.
      • Custom addresses.
   3. If you selected the Custom addresses option, in the Custom addresses field, specify other email addresses of notification recipients.

      Use a semicolon or a new line to separate email addresses.

   4. Under Notification contents, select one of the following values:
      • Notification only.
      • Notification with the original message attached.
      • If necessary, repeat the steps to configure as many notifications as you need.
10. Click Save.

KATA protection is now configured. The specified settings are applied to messages that match the rule criteria.

To ensure that the configured settings are applied by KSMG, make sure that KATA protection is enabled for the rule and the configured rule is enabled.
