Configure spamBlocker

You set actions for spamBlocker to take with POP3 email and SMTP email in similar ways. To set actions for
POP3 email, use the POP3 tab; to set actions for SMTP email, use the SMTP tab.
1. At the top of the page, make sure that the Enable spamBlocker for POP3/SMTP proxy policies check
boxes are selected.
2. To scan incoming and outgoing email for new viruses that may not be in the Gateway AntiVirus
database, select the Enable Virus Outbreak Detection (VOD) for POP3 and SMTP check box.
For more information about Virus Outbreak Detection, see About Virus Outbreak Detection (VOD).
3. By default, VOD scans inbound email messages up to a 40 kilobyte limit. You can increase or decrease
this limit with the Limit VOD scanning to first text box. If you configure a larger limit for spamBlocker
as described in step 5, the larger limit is used.
If you type a very large number in this text box, your network throughput may be slow. We recommend that you
keep the scan limit under 50 kilobytes (KB).
4. If spamBlocker VOD detects a virus in a POP3 message, the virus is automatically stripped. Use the
Virus is detected (SMTP only) drop-down list to select the action you want spamBlocker to take if a
virus is detected in an SMTP message.
