Creating Scheduled Database Scan Rules | Trend Micro Service Central

Views:

Scheduled scan rules define how ScanMail scans Notes databases at a specific time.

To create a scheduled scan rule:

Create or modify a policy (See Creating Rules) or (See Modifying Policies) for more information.
On the working area, click the Scheduled Scan tab.
Click Create New Rule.
On the New Scheduled Scan Rule document, specify the general settings in the General tab:
1. Specify the rule name.
2. Select the scan condition:
  - Enable incremental scan- instructs ScanMail to scan only updated and new documents since the last scan
    
    Incremental scanning can save considerable server time and resources. ScanMail scans only files that have been modified since the last complete scan.
  - Scan all documents if the pattern file has been updated- instructs ScanMail to scan all documents when ScanMail updates to a new pattern file
  - Scan all documents if the scan engine has been updated- instructs ScanMail to scan all documents when ScanMail updates to a new scan engine
    
    Type an integer that corresponds to the minimum number of days before ScanMail should perform scanning. For example, if the minimum number of days is 4, ScanMail will run a scheduled scan on the fourth day after the last scan.
    
    The minimum number of days setting applies to both pattern file and scan engine update condition.
  Note
  
  The conditions Scan all documents if the pattern file / scan engine has been updated follow the incremental scan setting.
3. Under the Apply To group, select All server(s) of the parent policy or selectSpecified server, and click to choose server(s) from the list.
  
  Note
  
  The Apply To option is ONLY available in Scheduled Scan.
Click the Databases to scan tab to set which database(s) to scan:
- All databases- ScanMail scans all databases on the Domino server
- Specified databases- ScanMail performs or excludes from scanning specific mail file(s) or database(s)
  
  Use the Add, Remove, and Remove All buttons to manipulate the database(s) in the list.
Click the Scan Options tab to set the following scan options:
- Security Risk Scan (See Configuring Security Risk Scan)
- APT Prevention Filter (See Configuring APT Prevention Filter)
- Scan Restrictions (See Configuring Scan Restrictions)
- Attachment Filter (See Configuring the Attachment Filter)
- Content Filter (See Create a New Content Filter)
- Data Loss Prevention Filter (See Configuring Data Loss Prevention Filter Options)
- Script Filter (See Configuring Script Filter)
Set the scan notification (See Setting the Scan Notifications).
Set the schedule.
1. Type the time in the Run at time field that corresponds to the time when the schedule scan rule will be run. For example, 06:00 AM.
  
  Note
  
  If the Run at time field is left blank, the scheduled scan rule will be invalid.
2. Type how long the scan will run in the Duration of scan field. 0 (zero) will instruct ScanMail to stop only when scanning is finished completely.
3. Type or click to select the days of the week when the rule will be run.
Click Save & Close.

Note

Whenever creating a new rule, Trend Micro recommends saving a copy of blocked email messages to the Quarantine Database rather than deleting them. Once you have verified that the new rule is free of unintended consequences, modify and change the scan action.
