ScanMail for Domino (SMD) works in real time to prevent viruses, malicious code (also
known as malware), and unwanted content from entering your Domino environment through mail, replication,
or infected documents. Malware scanning is performed in memory, which significantly
increases the scanning speed.
ScanMail is designed to operate as a native Domino server application and thus provides
administrators with a familiar, intuitive interface. The configuration interface for
ScanMail is fully integrated with the Domino server and supports remote management
from any Notes workstation, Web browser, or Domino R8 Administration Client. This
version of ScanMail for Domino is designed to run on the IBM™
AIX™ 64-bit platform.
The ScanMail Standard version provides virus scanning in all modes and component update.
The ScanMail Suite version additionally provides content and spam filtering functionality.
ScanMail is fully compatible with Trend Micro Control Manager™, the Trend Micro centralized management console that lets you consolidate your antivirus
and content security protection into a cohesive solution.
Administrators can specify which databases are to be scanned, and users are prevented
from overwriting a clean document with an infected version. Manual database scanning
cleans existing infections.
ScanMail helps administrators enforce company email policies, increase overall server
efficiency, and minimize virus outbreaks. Administrators can create rules to block
certain file types and block, delay, and prioritize messages. A corporate policy can
be implemented to deal with malware incidents in several ways:
-
Isolate the infected file for later cleaning or other action.
-
Send the infected item to the intended recipient along with a notification that the file is infected and has not been cleaned.
-
Delete the infected file.
-
Block the infected file and prevent it from being delivered.
-
Alert the administrator.
By using a multi-threaded scan engine and memory scanning, ScanMail is able to maximize
efficiency and minimize impact on Domino servers. Administrators can identify servers
that don't require scanning, thus eliminating redundant scanning.
