Multiple Actions - Symantec 10490452 - Mail Security 8220 Administration Manual

Multiple actions

in Suspect Virus Quarantine, are available only for the suspicious
attachment verdict.
All Spam verdicts share the same available actions.
■
All Content Compliance verdicts share the same available actions.
■
Messages from senders in the Allowed Senders Lists are always delivered
■
directly to end-user mailboxes, bypassing spam filtering.
When using the Modify the subject action, you can specify the character set
■
encoding to use. If the encoding you choose is different than the encoding
used by the original message, either the message or the modified subject
line will not be displayed correctly.
When using the Save to disk action on Solaris or Linux, you must specify a
■
writeable directory.
By default, inbound and outbound messages containing a virus or mass-
■
mailing worm, and unscannable messages, including malformed MIME
messages, will be deleted. You may want to change the default setting for
unscannable messages if you are concerned about losing important
messages. See Table 4-5, "Virus categories and default actions,"
You can create compound actions, performing multiple actions for a particular
verdict. An example follows:
1 Defining a virus policy, the administrator selects the Virus verdict and then
assigns the actions, Clean, Add annotation, and Send notification to the
policy.
2 Defining a Group Policy, the administrator assigns members then selects the
new virus policy.
3 An email message is received whose recipients include someone in the new
Group Policy.
4
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP cleans the message, annotates it, then
sends a notification to its intended recipients.
