To configure exclusions from attachment filtering:

1. Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
   • To configure exclusions from attachment filtering on an unassigned Security Server, select the node of the relevant Security Server.
   • To configure exclusions from attachment filtering on Security Servers belonging to a profile, expand the Profiles node and select the node of the profile for whose Security Servers you want to configure exclusions from attachment filtering.
2. Select the Server protection node.
3. In the workspace, select the Protection for the Transport Hub role tab.
4. In the Exclusions from filtering section that opens, define the following settings:
   • Do not scan messages from the following senders

     Excluding messages from filtering by senders.

     If this check box is selected, you can specify senders that will be added to the list of exclusions during attachment filtering. The application does not scan attachments that were sent from email addresses specified in the list of exclusions. You can create a list of email addresses of senders, using the entry field and the buttons listed below.

     You can add both individual e-mail addresses (for example, user@mail.com) and address masks (for example, *@domain.net) to the list.

     The following buttons are designed for creating a list:

     •  - add the record from the entry field to the list.
     •  – remove the selected record from the list.
     •  – export the list to a file.
     •  – import the list from a file.

     If the check box is cleared, the entry field, buttons, and the list are unavailable.

     The check box is cleared by default.

     The file with the list you are importing must contain xml tags used by Kaspersky Security. You can copy tags from the list of email addresses that has been exported to file.

   • Do not scan messages for the following recipients

     Excluding messages from filtering by recipients.

     If this check box is selected, you can specify recipients that will be added to the list of exclusions during attachment filtering.

     Filtering of attachments that are containers or archives takes into account exclusions by names and name masks specified in the Anti-Virus settings, on the Advanced Anti-Virus settings tab. Containers and archives that have been excluded from Anti-Virus scanning by file names and file name masks, will also be excluded from attachment filtering as follows:

     • The application does not check files from these containers / archives for matching the filtering criteria.
     • The application checks containers / archives themselves for matching the filtering criteria.
5. Click the Save button.

The settings of filtering exclusions are saved.
