Avast example:
Sophos example:
No virus scanner purchased example:
Enable External Virus Check:
Check this box to enable command line virus checking. You
can use any virus scanner as long as it offers a command
line interface.
Command Line:
Enter the command line for the virus checker. It should consist of
the path to the executable program to run plus any additional command
line arguments. SMTPMax will add a final command line argument consisting
of the path to the directory where an extracted file attachment (or
attachments) may be found. If the virus program removes any files
from the directory, then the email will be considered virus infected
and will be discarded.
Enable Internal Virus Check:
Check this box to enable either Avast or Sophos.
Recursion Depth (Sophos ONLY):
When encountering MIME email with nested contents, this controls
how deeply into the nesting that the virus scanner will scan.
File Types
Avast! - You may choose to scan the following:
a. Full file - More than 8k of the file is examined for viruses
b. All files - Files other than .exe files and libraries are tested.
NOTE: Only the first 8K of the file tested.
c. Test all fully - Full contents of all files are examined
Sophos - You may choose to scan DOS files, Macintosh files or both.
These are the settings to control how Avast! and
Sophos will handle detected viruses.

to the specified address.
Quarantine
Inbound and/or outbound mail containing viruses will
be sent to the email address specified for later inspection

Notify Recipient
An email alert will be sent to
the recipient of the virus.

updates from
Avast! and
Sophos. You

how often
MailMax checks
for new
definitions daily,

hours, not
every hour.
