Note By default background scanning is disabled. Y ou should enable it only as a second layer of protection when you want to check all your databases and make sure they are clean. ● Proactive scanning allows scanning messages before they are actually accessed.
Different filtering policies can be defined for users and user groups. The rules are those that specify which filters to use to analyze the message and the actions to take on spam, based on the groups to which the sender and the recipients belong.
address of the sender matches one of the IP addresses provided for the specified domain. If the domain address of the sender matches an associated IP address, the message is considered legitimate and antispam filtering stops. Otherwise, the message is considered SP AM and the connection is dropped.
Note These filters can be enabled and configured by the administrator separately for each rule. In order to configure them, go to the Antispam module, Policies section and set the appropriate rules. For more details, please refer to “ Creating Rules ” (p.
BitDefender maintains a database of such links. The URL filter checks every URL link in a message against its database. If a match is made, the message is tagged as SP AM. Image Filter Since avoiding heuristic filter detection has become quite a challenge, images are increasingly used in spam messages.
5.3. Content Filtering Content Filtering checks messages to see if the subject, the sender ’s or the recipient(s)’ address contain certain specified strings. If a defined string matches one of these mail headers, the message is detected and the specified action is taken.
6. How Does It W ork? BitDefender Security for Exchange scans e-mail messages both at SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) level and at mailbox, or VSAPI (Virus Scanning Application Program), level. E-mail messages entering or leaving the Exchange server are scanned at SMTP level.
Connection Level When an attempt is made to establish a connection, the message is checked against the Allow / Deny IP List . If there is a match, the connection is dropped. Otherwise, the message is checked against the global Sender Black List . If the filter finds a match, the connection is dropped.
4. "Block sexually explicit content" Filter . If the message matches the filtering rule, it is considered SP AM, the antispam filtering stops and the specified action is taken on the message.
6.1.3. Attachment Filtering If the message is not deleted during content filtering, then the mail attachments, if any , are verified according to a specific attachment filtering group policy . The message is checked against the attachment filtering rules, by order of priority , until the sender and the recipients of the message match a rule.
by BitDefender . The scanning is performed according to the options specified by the default antivirus rule. Real-time VSAPI scanning can also be done through three additional methods, intended to optimize the overall scanning process: background, proactive or transport scanning.
