Using Specialized Scanning Tools If you prefer not to send a reply, you can simply have the extension send an e-mail notification, perhaps to a system administrator, whenever it detects a virus. Sending reply messages can aid your ability to track virus sources and pinpoint where infectious agents enter your network; copies of these messages sent to system administrators can help them track how infections spread. You can also choose to send a messages to any recipient without replying to the source of the infected attachment. The E-Mail Scan extension can draw recipients directly from your Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Outlook, or other MAPI-compliant address book, or from an equivalent Lotus cc:Mail directory. You can also enter recipient addresses directly. The message you create for a response is a template-the E-Mail Scan extension will send the message you compose automatically to each recipient you designate, so McAfee recommends that you enter a message that all recipients can read and understand. Apart from the steps you take to compose this template message, the extension will not give you an opportunity to edit the message before it sends it. You may send one message to reply to the source of the infected message and a different message to other recipients, but you cannot tailor the same message for different recipients. 3. To compose your template messages, follow these substeps: a. Select the Return reply mail to sender checkbox in the Alert property page, then click Configure to open a standard mail message form. Because the E-Mail Scan extension will send this message directly back to the source of the infected e-mail message, the To: button and text box are unavailable. b. To send a copy of this message to someone else, enter an e-mail address in the text box labeled Cc:, or click Cc: to choose a recipient from your mail system's user directory or address book. Š NOTE: To find an e-mail address in your mail system's user directory, you must store address information in a MAPIcompliant user directory, database, or address book, or in an equivalent Lotus cc:Mail directory. If you have not yet logged onto your e-mail system, the E-Mail Scan extension tries to use your default MAPI profile to log onto MAPI-compliant mail systems, or asks you to supply a user name, password and path to your Lotus cc:Mail mailbox. Enter the information the extension requires, then click OK to continue. 264 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
