Kaspersky Lab kaspersky security 5.5 for microsoft exchange server 2003 Guida Utente

•  scanning e-mail messages received by the Exchange server via SMTP 

protocol for SPAM including the analysis of all attributes and attachments 
of the message. Depending on the settings, the application will deliver the 
message to the Inbox folder, move the message to the Junk E-mail 
folder, block the message or delete it. In addition to the first two actions, 
special markers can be added to the subject line of the message; 

•  saving backup copies of the message's objects before an attempt to 

disinfect or delete such object (during an anti-virus scan) and copies of 
messages before they are blocked or deleted (during an anti-spam scan); 
copies are saved to a special storage for the consequent restoring which 
prevents the loss of data. Configurable filters allow to easily locate the 
original copies of objects; 

•  notifying  the sender, the recipient and the system administrator about 

messages that contain malicious objects or may contain SPAM. 

•  maintaining the event log and creating regular reports about the operation 

of the application, the status of the anti-virus protection and anti-spam 
protection.  The application allows generation of reports using templates 
with a preset level of detail and at a required interval; 

•  detecting virus outbreaks as they emerge and notifying about such events. 

The application identifies attempts of mass-mailing infected messages 
both from the Internet and from the computers within the corporate 
network; 

•  configuring application settings depending on the intensity and the nature 

of the traffic as well as the characteristics of the hardware installed 
(amount of RAM, speed, number of processors, etc.); 

•  updating the anti-virus database and content filtration database 

automatically or manually. The databases can be updated from the 
Kaspersky Lab's FTP and HTTP web servers or from a local/network 
folder that contains the latest set of updates; 

•  scanning old (previously scanned) messages for the presence of new 

viruses each time your anti-virus database is updated or according to the 
schedule. This task is performed as a background scan and does not 
have any considerable effect on the performance of the mail server; 

•  creating the list of protected storage areas, which offers additional 

flexibility in regards with license restrictions on the number of protected 
mailboxes; 

•  managing license keys.
