The mail filter can add tags to the subject of the messages that it
has identified as illegitimate or harmful. These tags will be prepended
to the subject of mail passing through the filter so the recipient
can identify or classify the messages easily. You may enable/disable
subject tagging and change the tags.
- Mail Bomb Subject
- The subject tag for mail bombs. The mail filter
will open archive files in attachments (Eg: ZIP files) before scanning
them for viruses. Mail bombs are certain malicious archive files which
expand to a very large size while opening, making it impossible to
scan them. These mail bombs are intended to choke mail filters. The
Secure Mail Suite can detect mail bombs and attach a tag to
the subject of these mails.
- Spam Subject
- Subject tag for mail identified by the filter as bulk
mail (spam). If disabled, no tags will be attached to the mail. To
enabled tagging, select Enabled, and enter the tag in the box.
- Stripped Attachment Subject
- Subject tag for mail from which attachments
were removed by the mail filter. Attachment handling can be configured
in the section below.
- Password Protected Attachment Subject
- Certain viruses come in
attachments that are zipped with a password. The password is usually
mentioned in the body of the mail. Usually, the recipient may be tempted
to open the zip file supplying this password, causing infection. Opening
the password protected attachments from the scanner is almost impossible,
making it very difficult to scan them for viruses. Here you can specify
a subject tag for mail which are unchecked due to a password protected
attachment.
