Setting Scan Actions for Virtual Analyzer Scanning Exceptions

Procedure

1. Go to Policy → Scanning Exceptions.
2. Click the Quarantine and Notify link for Virtual Analyzer scanning exceptions.
   The screen for configuring actions appears.
3. Under Intercept, click the radio button next to one of the following:
   • Do not intercept messages: IMSS does not process the message.
   • Delete entire message: Deletes the message and all attachments.
   • Quarantine to: IMSS puts the message and its attachments into the quarantine area that you select from the drop-down box. For instructions on creating a new quarantine area, see Configuring Quarantine and Archive Settings.
   • Handoff: IMSS hands off the message to a specific mail server. Select Handoff if you have a secure messaging server on your network that can process or handle the message. Configure the following:
     • Next to Host, specify the FQDN or IP address of the mail server.
     • Next to Port, specify the port number through which the mail server receives email traffic.

   Note IMSS can only track a message before it is handed off. After the handoff, the message is not traceable any more as it is no longer within the control of IMSS.

4. Under Monitor, select the check boxes next to any of the following:
   • Send policy notifications: Send a message to one or more recipients. To select a type of notification, click Send policy notifications. For instructions on creating notifications, see Notifications.
   • Archive to: Archive the message to an archive area. For instructions on creating a new archive area, see Configuring Quarantine and Archive Settings.
   • BCC: Blind carbon copy the message to another recipient. Specify the recipient's email address and separate multiple addresses with a semicolon (;). Select the BCC option to prevent the intended recipients from seeing the new recipient.
5. Click Save.
