    Setting

    Description

    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 process is explained in more detail later in this section). 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.
