Mailbox database protection

The mailbox scanning process is triggered and controlled by the Microsoft Exchange Server. Emails in the Microsoft Exchange Server store database are scanned continuously. Depending on the version of Microsoft Exchange Server, the VSAPI interface version and the user-defined settings, the scanning process can be triggered in any of the following situations:

•When the user accesses email, for example, in an email client (email is always scanned with the latest detection engine).

•In the background, when use of the Microsoft Exchange Server is low.

•Proactively (based on the Microsoft Exchange Server’s inner algorithm).

Mailbox database protection is available for the following systems:

This type of scanning can be performed on a single server installation with multiple Exchange Server roles on one computer (as long as it includes the Mailbox or Back-End role).
