8 Using Email Server Protection Email server protection features • Filters files - Scans an email attachment based on its file name, file type, and file size. Also filters files with encrypted, corrupted, banned, password-protected, and digitally signed content. • Scans at scheduled times - Allows you to schedule regular scan operations to occur at specific times. • Scans MIME messages - Allows you to specify how Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) messages are handled. • Detects denial-of-service attacks - Detects additional requests or attacks flooding and interrupting the regular traffic on a network. A denial-of-service attack overwhelms its target with false connection requests, so that the target ignores legitimate requests. Management features • Management console - Provides a user-friendly, web-based (if the software is installed with the default options) or standalone interface on the email server, used for configuring features and viewing reports. If the software is installed with the default options, the management console is accessible through links in the SecurityCenter. • Policy management - Allows you to set up policies that determine how different types of threats are treated when detected. • Centralized scanner, filter rules, and enhanced alert settings - Allows you to configure scanner settings that a policy can apply when scanning items. You can set up rules that apply to a file name, file type, and file size. You can use the alert editor to customize the text of an alert message. • Quarantine management - Allows you to specify a local database to be used as a repository for quarantining infected email messages and configure maintenance settings for it. Also allows you to specify McAfee Quarantine Manager 6.0, located on a different server, as a repository for quarantining infected email messages. • Allows or prohibits users based on email account - Supports lists of authorized and prohibited users at the global, group, and user level. • Automatic updates - Checks for and downloads updates to the DAT files and components to ensure protection against the latest threats. You can specify the location for retrieving updates. • Detection reports - Creates status reports and graphical reports that enable you to view information about the detected items. • Configuration reports - Creates configuration reports that contain a summary of product configurations, such as server information, version information, license status and type, product information, debug logging information, on-access settings, on-access policies, and gateway policies. Allows you to specify when a server should send the configuration reports to an administrator or other recipient via email. • Customized notification emails and disclaimers - Allows you to customize the email notification settings and disclaimers for external email messages. 138 McAfee Total Protection Service 5.1.5 Product Guide
