E-mail Scanning can be used to keep both inbound and outbound e-mails
protected against viruses. Enabling it for outbound e-mails also ensures
that you do not accidentally send out infected e-mail attachments. This
section describes the e-mail scanning settings and also presents a
practical configuration example.
E-mail Scanning scans all POP, IMAP and SMTP traffic. If SSL protocol is
used, all attachments received through SSL are also scanned as they are
stored to the local e-mail cache. All files sent out are also scanned by
Real-time Scanning.
To enable the scanning of incoming e-mail messages and attachments
(POP3 traffic), select the Enable incoming e-mail scanning check box.
To enable the scanning of outgoing e-mail messages and attachments
(SMTP traffic), select the Enable outgoing e-mail scanning check box.
