Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 7.6 for Email Configuration Guide
Chapter 8 Anti-Virus
You enable anti-virus actions on a per-recipient basis using the Email Security Feature: the Mail Policies
> Incoming or Outgoing Mail Policies pages (GUI) or the policyconfig -> antivirus command (CLI).
After you enable anti-virus settings globally, you configure these actions separately for each mail policy
you create. You can configure different actions for different mail policies.
Step 1 Click the link for the anti-virus security service in any row of the Email Security Manager incoming or
outgoing mail policy table.
The Anti-Virus settings page similar to the one shown in Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4 is displayed.
Click the link in the default row to edit the settings for the default policy. Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4
show the settings for an individual policy (not the default).
Step 2 Click Yes or Use Default to enable Anti-Virus Scanning for the policy.
The first setting on the page defines whether the service is enabled for the policy. You can click
Disable to disable the service altogether.
For mail policies other than the default, choosing “Yes” enables the fields in the Repaired,
Encrypted, Unscannable, and Virus Infected Messages areas to become active.
Step 3 Select an Anti-Virus scanning engine. You can select McAfee or Sophos engines.
Step 4 Configure Message Scanning settings.
See Message Scanning Settings, page 8-8 for more information.
Step 5 Configure settings for Repaired, Encrypted, Unscannable, and Virus Infected messages.
Step 6 Click Submit.
Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4 show the Anti-Virus settings for the mail policy named “Engineering”
about to be edited. See Message Handling Settings, page 8-9 and Configuring Settings for Message
Handling Actions, page 8-10.
The Mail Policies > Incoming or Outgoing Mail Policies page is refreshed to reflect the values you
chose in the previous steps.
Step 7 Commit your changes.
