Attachment Scanning

Overview

The emailAI Pro engine can remove dangerous attachments automatically from incoming emails that match particular file name extensions. Typically virus come as .pif, .lnk, .bat, .com, .exe, .vbs, .scr type attachments. When both scanning and deletion options are enabled under attachment scanning the emailAI Pro engine will automatically remove and delete these attachments from incoming emails but still allow delivery of the email without the attachments. The attachment is replaced with a text message explaining that the attachment was removed.

Options

General

Scan Email Attachments

When enabled the emailAI Pro engine will scan attachments.

Delete Attachments that match entries below

When enabled the emailAI Pro engine will delete any attachments that match any entries in the attachment list. The original attachment is replaced with a text based attachment explaining that it was removed. Attachment scanning must also be enabled for this feature to function.

Attachment list

Attachments in emails are matched to what is in this list. It is a simple match in that it simply compares the last characters of the file name of the attachment to items listed. If a filename ends with an entry then a positive result is made. Do not use wildcards in this list, simply add the extensions (last part of the filenames).

Eg: .bat, .com, .exe, .lnk, .pif, .vbs
