Choosing Alert options
Once you configure it with the response optionsyou want inthe Action page,
you can let the E-Mail Scan module look for and remove viruses from your
system automatically, as it finds them, with almost no further intervention.
But if you want the module to tell you as soon as it finds a virus so you can
take appropriate action, configure it to send an alert message to you or to
others.
Follow these steps:
1. Click the Alert tab in the E-mail Scan module to display the correct
property page (Figure 4-23).
Figure 4-23. E-mail Scan Properties dialog box - Alert page
2. Selectthe Notify Alert Manager checkbox to havethe module send alert
messages to Alert Manager for distribution.
Alert Manager is a separate Dr Solomon’s software component that
collects alert messages and uses a variety of methods to send them to
recipients that you specify. To have the E-Mail Scan module send these
alert messages successfully, you must also set up the Alert Manager
Client Configuration utility. See “Using the Alert Manager Client
Configuration utility” on page 306 for details.
