Using Specialized Scanning Tools
If you prefernot tosend areply, you can simply have the extension send
an e-mail notification, perhaps to a system administrator, whenever it
detects a virus.
Sending reply messages can aid your ability to track virus sources and
pinpoint where infectious agents enter your network; copies of these
messages sent to system administrators can help them track how
infections spread.
Youcanalsochoosetosendamessagestoanyrecipientwithoutreplying
to the source of the infected attachment. The E-Mail Scan extension can
draw recipients directly from your Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft
Outlook, or other MAPI-compliant address book, or from an equivalent
Lotus cc:Mail directory. You can also enter recipient addresses directly.
The message you create for a response is a template—the E-Mail Scan
extension will send the message you compose automatically to each
recipient you designate, so Dr Solomon’s recommends that you enter a
message that all recipients can read and understand. Apart from the
steps you take to compose this template message, the extension will not
give you an opportunity to edit the message before it sends it.
You may send one messageto replytothe sourceofthe infectedmessage
and a different message to other recipients, but you cannot tailor the
same message for different recipients.
3. To compose your template messages, follow these substeps:
a. Select the Return reply mail to sender checkbox in the Alert
property page, then click Configure to open a standard mail
message form.
Because the E-Mail Scan extension will send this message directly

b. To send a copy of this message to someone else, enter an e-mail
addressinthe text box labeled Cc:, or clickCc: to choosea recipient
from your mail system's user directory or address book.
NOTE: To find an e-mail address in your mail system's user
directory, you must store address information in a MAPI-
compliant user directory, database, or address book, or in an
equivalent Lotus cc:Mail directory. If you have not yet logged
onto youre-mail system, the E-Mail Scan extension triesto use
your default MAPI profile to log onto MAPI-compliant mail
systems,orasksyoutosupplyausername,passwordandpath
to your Lotus cc:Mail mailbox. Enter the information the
extension requires, then click OK to continue.
