Testing mail protection

To check detection of viruses in email messages, you can use any mail system deployed on a protected Lotus Domino server. We recommend checking the ability of Kaspersky Anti-Virus to detect viruses in the message body, in attachments, and in embedded OLE objects.

To verify that email messages are scanned for viruses:

1. Create a message in Normal text format.
2. Place the text of the standard or modified file at the top of the message and combine it with the file and OLE object containing the test file.
3. Send the message to any address, for example, the address of the server administrator or the administrator of the profile which includes the server.
4. Read the message received at this address.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects the object and identifies it as infected, and when a modified test file is used – identifies it according to the prefix used. The application then performs the action selected in the mail protection settings for this object. By default, the infected object that cannot be disinfected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus is removed from the email message.
