Spam/Virus Scanner Exemptions

All virtual domains and mail routes defined on this server are scanned for viruses and spam by default when virus and spam options are enabled. In this section, you can exclude certain users and domains from spam/virus scanning. If a domain in listed in the Scanner Exemptions, mails addressed to that domain will not get scanned.

To create an exemption, click on the New Scanner Exemption button. A popup window will appear. Enter the email address or the domain name on the Address/Domain field. The Action specifies whether scanning will be enabled or disabled for this address/domain. The Scanners option can be used to define whether the action is taken for virus scanning, spam scanning or for both. For example, if the Action is set to Scanning Disabled and only Virus Scanning is checked in the Scanners, then mail to the corresponding domain will not be scanned for viruses, but will be scanned for spam.

All exemptions are listed on this page. Exemptions for email addresses take precedence over domains. So you may disable scanning for a domain, but enable scanning for certain email addresses in that domain, and vice versa. Addresses and domains listed in the green background gets scanned, and others are exempted from scanning.

In the screenshot example below, all mail to addresses in the domain corp.guardia-ndigital.com gets scanned, but mail to the email address user@corp.guardiandigit-al.com will not be scanned. You may edit an exemption by clicking on the domain name.
