Key features of ScanMail for Lotus Notes: Virus elimination and alerts Efficient database and replication scanning High-performance scanning and scalability Flexible configuration and management Trend Micro eManager support - content filtering Trend Micro enterprise protection strategy support E-mail and file type blocking to enforce security policies Principle of spam filtering in ScanMail for Lotus Notes eManager is an optional module that provides spam and content filtering. In ScanMail for Lotus Notes, eManager is integrated in e-mail filter rules. E-mail filter rules let the administrator define policy-based rules for e-mail content filtering and mail and bandwidth management. The spam filtering is based on a spam rule database with filter rules to identify the spam mail. These rules are used by the content filter of eManager and are applied to headers, subject, and content of e-mail. TrendLab has a Web of personal and corporate mailboxes around the world where they collect spam. A team continuously updates the spam database, just like the pattern file for the virus solution. The fingerprints they create are frequently published, and automatically downloaded and deployed in your ScanMail installation, freeing up administrator time from dealing with the time-consuming issue of creating rules. Configuring rules for spam filtering You can create one or more rules that will activate filtering. Figure 6-8 shows the ScanMail view from which you can create filter rules.
