Mail Quarantine
One of the basic steps to set up protection in ESET Mail Security is creating the quarantine to safely store infected notes. Only the IBM Domino mail server administrator has access to the quarantine. This quarantine is excluded from additional scanning.
The quarantine has different view options depending on the note type (mail, document), subcategory and reason for storing the file in the quarantine (spam, infected file, user-defined rule). You can recover a quarantined note, and recovered notes will be copied into the original database where they were stored. These notes will be scanned again after recovery. If the reason for quarantine is no longer present, the note will be handled normally. If these reasons persist, the note will be stored in the quarantine again. Notes are not scanned by the antispam module after recovery.
|
Only the administrator has access to the quarantine. For the quarantine to work properly, scripts must be enabled when the administrator opens the quarantine for the first time. |
Automatically create quarantine
By default, this option is enabled. It automatically creates a server database (NSF) where quarantined messages or documents are stored.
Quarantine filename
Choose a name for the quarantine. By default, it is eQuarantine.nsf.
|
The quarantine is created after the first infected file is found. If the Automatically create quarantine option is not selected and the quarantine is not created, the file will be processed. The quarantine is created from the EsetQuarantine.ntf template, which is copied into the IBM Domino data folder during the installation. Each IBM Domino server Partition has its own quarantine. If you uninstall ESET Mail Security, the quarantine database file and quarantine template are not removed. This is because the quarantine contains valid data, and the template is necessary to view the quarantine database. |
Automatically delete notes in quarantine
Deletes notes older than the specified number of days.
Delete notes older than (days)
Automatically deletes quarantined notes after a selected amount of time. The pre-defined value is 30 days.
Enable whitelisting of notes released from quarantine
Use this setting when you want to recover a note (email or attachment) from ESET Quarantine and have an active rule that would automatically put the recovered note back to the quarantine. Whitelisting will ignore rules to prevent this from happening. After you enable whitelisting, ESET Mail Security will start writing a signature into every quarantined note. This signature is then used to whitelist notes.
|
Enabled whitelisting affects rules and antivirus protection. Any note (email or attachment) that contains a signature will never be processed by rules and will never be scanned for viruses or other infiltrations. When whitelisting is disabled, notes will be processed by rules and antivirus protection regardless of the signature. |
|
Enabled whitelisting: •Signature is being written to all newly quarantined notes. Existing notes already present in your quarantine will not have the signature written. •Signatures are considered when recovering a note from the ESET Quarantine to ignore rules and antivirus protection. Disabled whitelisting: •Signature will not be written to notes being quarantined from then on. •Signatures of existing notes already present in your quarantine will not be considered when recovering a note from the ESET Quarantine to ignore rules and antivirus protection. If you are enabling whitelisting again, previously signed notes can be recovered from the ESET Quarantine with the rules being ignored because signatures are being considered again. |
