Configuring e-mail scans in The Bat!


	Warning! The E-mail Anti-Virus settings that determine whether incoming and outgoing e-mail is scanned, as well as actions on dangerous e-mail objects and exclusions, are ignored. The only thing that The Bat! takes into account is scanning archived attachments and time limits on scanning one e-mail object.

Select Settings from the Properties menu.

Select Virus protection from the settings tree.

Which e-mails will be subject to anti-virus scans (incoming, outgoing);

When e-mail objects will be scanned for viruses (when opening an e-mail or before saving one to disk);

The actions taken by the mail client when dangerous objects are detected in e-mails. For example, you can select:

Attempt to disinfect infect parts - tries to treat the infected e-mail object, and if the object cannot be disinfected, it stays in the e-mail. Active Virus Shield will always inform you that the e-mail object is infected. But even if you select Delete in the E-mail Anti-Virus notice window, the object will remain in the e-mail, since the action selected in The Bat! takes precedent over the actions of E-mail Anti-Virus.

Delete infected parts - deletes the dangerous object in the e-mail, regardless of whether it is infected or suspected of being infected.

By default, The Bat! places all infected e-mail objects in the Quarantine folder without treating them.
