Using Specialized Scanning Tools Follow these steps: 1. Click the Alert tab in the E-Mail Scan Properties dialog box to display the correct property page (Figure 8-5). Figure 8-5. E-Mail Scan Properties dialog box - Alert page 2. Select the Notify Alert Manager checkbox to have the E-Mail Scan extension send alert messages to Alert Manager for distribution. Alert Manager is a separate McAfee software component that collects alert messages and uses a variety of methods to send them to recipients that you specify. To have the extension send these alert messages successfully, you must also set up the Alert Manager Client Configuration utility. See "Using the Alert Manager Client Configuration utility" on page 281 for details. You can pass alert messages directly to an Alert Manager server, or you can send alert messages as text (.ALR) files to a Centralized Alerting directory that the Alert Manager server checks periodically. Š NOTE: Clearing this checkbox tells the E-Mail Scan extension not to send an alert message via Alert Manager, but does not affect other alert messages that you configure in this property page. As part of your anti-virus warning system, the E-Mail Scan extension can reply directly with an alert message to anybody who sends you an infected message or attachment. You can copy that message to any other recipient in your organization, or any number of other recipients. User's Guide 263
