the Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine
Using this information, it scans messages for viruses, identifies and quarantines spam
and adds legal liability disclaimers.
After processing is complete, the Avira AntiVir Exchange service returns the e-mails to
the Exchange server.
3.1.2.3 Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine
Virus-infected or other undesirable messages can optionally be stopped on the server to
prevent them from reaching their intended recipients. These messages are instead
placed in the Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine. Several default quarantines are set up
on each Avira AntiVir Exchange server during installation. The Administrator can set up
additional quarantines.
An Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine consists of the following:
•
Quarantine directory on the Exchange server
(...\AntiVirData\Quarantine\Default Quarantine),
•
the messages copied into the Quarantine,
•
Quarantine database (LocIdxDB.mdb).
For each quarantined e-mail, Avira AntiVir Exchange automatically creates an entry in the
Quarantine database, a Microsoft Access file.
The following information is stored in that database:
- Message Subject line
- Date and time
- Message sender
- Message recipient
- E-mail sender (SMTP)
- E-mail recipient (SMTP)
- Short description of the applicable restriction
- Message size
- Name of the Avira AntiVir Exchange job that quarantined the message
- Name of the Exchange server
- Name of the e-mail file
- Processing history
When you view an Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine using AntiVir Exchange
Management Console, the information from the Quarantine database is shown first.
When you open a Quarantine entry, further information is read from the e-mail file.
For communicating with the Quarantine, Avira AntiVir Exchange uses SOAP (Simple
Object Access Protocol) and SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This applies both to local
access directly on the server and to access from remote Windows workstations. By
default, port 8008 is used for communications. You can change this port in AntiVir
Exchange Management Console (Basic Configuration - AntiVir Server node), but you
must then also make this change in all other Avira AntiVir Exchange consoles that access
the server. All stations must use the same port. SSL is used to encrypt the SOAP
communications channel. The required components are included in the installation
