# Anti-Virus Administration

Use the Anti Virus Administration page to enable IMail Anti-Virus and to specify what to do with infected files. You can also view the Virus Definition File Date to verify that you have current virus files.

## To enable the anti-virus, complete the following steps:

1. Select Enable Virus Scanning to begin scanning mail for viruses. If it is cleared, infected files WILL be delivered as normal.

2. Optionally, enable Repair Infected Files if you want IMail Anti-Virus to attempt to repair an infected message by removing the infected portion and creating a new file containing the repaired message. The initial infected file is deleted.

3. Select one of the following Infected File Actions that determines what occurs when a file is infected.

Delete. The infected message in not delivered and is deleted from the spool directory.

Redirect to. If a message cannot be repaired, and this option is selected, it will be redirected to the address entered in the text box. The e-mail address does not have to be an IMail Server account.

Bounce. Sends a bounce message to the sender, informing them that the message could not be delivered.

4. Configure notifications for infected messages:

Alert Recipients. Sends an e-mail to the intended recipients informing them that the message was redirected, or bounced due to virus infection.

Alert Administrator. Sends an e-mail alert to the address entered in the text box, alerting them to an infected file. One e-mail is sent for each infected file and contains the following information: the sender, the recipient, the message ID, Subject, Virus Detected, and the Action taken.
