4. ESET Mail Security - Microsoft Exchange Server protection

This section describes how to administer rules, log files, message quarantine and performance parameters.

4.1.1

The Rules menu item allows administrators to manually define email filtering conditions and actions to take with

filtered emails. The rules are applied according to a set of combined conditions. Multiple conditions are combined with

the logical operator AND, applying the rule only if all the conditions are met. The column Number (next to each rule

name) displays the number of times the rule was successfully applied.

The rules are checked against a message when it is processed by transport agent (TA) or VSAPI. When both TA and

VSAPI are enabled and the message matches the rule conditions, the rule counter may increase by 2 or more. This is

because VSAPI accesses each part of the message individually (body, attachment) meaning the rules are consequently

applied to each part individually. Furthermore, rules are also applied during background scanning (e.g. repeated

mailbox-store scan after virus signature database update), which can increase the rule counter.

NOTE: You can also use system variables to apply Rules (for example: %PATHEXT%).
