Global Virus Filtering Settings
Go to Content Filtering > Viruses > Virus Filtering to enable virus filtering (default: enabled) and specify virus notification settings. When virus filtering is enabled, all email is screened for unwanted content such as viruses and trojan horses. See the table below for a description of the global filtering options.
SpamTitan Gateway contains two integrated virus scanning engines, Clam AV and Bitdefender (default: both enabled). See Configuring Clam AV Settings and Configuring Bitdefender Settings for information on each.
Email Headers
If a message is identified as containing a virus, the following header is added to the email:
X-Amavis-Alert: This header indicates that the message is infected and lists the name of the virus. If you select the viruses are Passed (tagged) in your Anti-Spam Engine policy settings, this header can be used to filter out spam on end-user machines.
