Configuring Bitdefender Settings
SpamTitan Gateway uses the BitDefender antivirus engine as an additional virus checker that can be enabled to run in parallel with ClamAV and provide dual-layer virus protection.
Go to Content Filtering > Viruses > Bitdefender AntiVirus to view and manage settings. See the table below for information on each setting:
How the licensing works
The SpamTitan Gateway license includes an embedded Bitdefender license which is valid for the same period as the SpamTitan license. When the license expires, updates will be discontinued automatically. In this case, Bitdefender antivirus continues scanning mail but it only uses the antivirus database that was current when the license expired. This is because the updating function has become unavailable. It is important therefore to regularly review information in the license key and renew the license in a timely fashion.
