User manual

A job is not mission-critical when any processing errors are to be ignored for the

corresponding e-mail, in which case it is passed to the next job for further processing. All

processing errors are recorded in the Windows Event Log. If the same processing error

occurs five times in succession, the job is disabled and automatically restarted after 15

minutes. Do not enable this option for company-critical jobs.

For most of the jobs, the default setting is not mission-critical. The jobs to be

considered mission-critical should be defined through corporate policies.

Write processing log

The Processing Log provides information on how e-mails were processed by the job.

Enable this function if you need some sort of evidence or if you wish to test the job.

With this option enabled, information on whether and how the job has processed the mail

is written into a text file for each mail. This log text file is stored in the Avira AntiVir

Exchange installation directory in the Log folder. Logging is defined for each job, but the

text file contains the information for all jobs for which Write processing log is enabled. A

separate text file is created for each day.

Name of the text file: Audit_all_<date of last modification>.log, e.g.

Audit_all_20050909.log

Individual pieces of information on the e-mail processed are separated by semicolon and

can be evaluated manually or automatically:

1. Date and time when the e-mail was processed

2. Job ID

3. Job name

4. Message ID

5. SMTP sender

6. SMTP recipient

Avira AntiVir Exchange filtering result

a. Restricted - e-mail matches the restrictions defined

b. Unrestricted - e-mail does not match the restrictions defined

Recipient groups are resolved, with a separate line written for each recipient.
