When the MailEnable Message Filter branch is selected, the filters are listed in the right hand panel. Configure each of these by right clicking on them. By right clicking the Filters folder and selecting Properties, the system filters can be disabled or enabled for the server as shown in the diagram below.
The configurable properties for the MailEnable Message Filter are outlined in the following table:
Activity Log
Specify the status and location of the activity log file generated by the filter. This log file contains details of the filters that have been executed and their respective status.
Scratch Directory
The Scratch directory is used by the filters to unpack messages for analysis. This occurs when messages are scanned by the integrated Antivirus agents. This is the directory to where MailEnable will decode the email attachments while scanning. Make sure this directory is not subject to real-time scanning by any resident antivirus application.
