Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C170 Guia Do Utilizador

Choose which overall action to take on each message type for encrypted, unscannable, or virus positive 
messages: drop the message, deliver the message as an attachment to a new message, deliver the message 
as is, or send the message to the anti-virus quarantine area (

Configuring the appliance to deliver the infected messages as an attachment to a new message allows the 
recipient to choose how to deal with the original, infected attachment. 

If you choose to deliver the message or deliver the message as an attachment to a new message, you can 
additionally: 

Modify message subject

Archive original message

Send generic notification
The following actions are available in the “Advanced” section of the GUI:

Add custom header to message

Modify message recipient

Send message to alternate destination host

Send custom alert notification (to recipient only)

These actions are not mutually exclusive; you can combine some or all of them differently within 
different incoming or outgoing policies for different processing needs for groups of users. See the 
following sections and 

 for more information on 

defining various scanning policies using these options. 

Repaired messages have only two advanced options: Add custom header and Send custom alert 
notification. All other message types have access to all of the advanced options.

When flagged for quarantine, the message continues through the rest of the email pipeline. When the 
message reaches the end of the pipeline, if the message has been flagged for one or more quarantines 
then it enters those queues. Note that if the message does not reach the end of the pipeline, it is not placed 
in a quarantine.

For example, a content filter can cause a message to be dropped or bounced, in which case the message 
will not be quarantined.

You can alter the text of identified messages by prepending or appending certain text strings to help users 
more easily identify and sort identified messages. 

White space is not ignored in the “Modify message subject” field. Add spaces after (if prepending) or 
before (if appending) the text you enter in this field to separate your added text from the original subject 
of the message. For example, add the text 

[WARNING: VIRUS REMOVED]

 with a few trailing spaces if you 

are prepending.
