How to enforce actions based on the results returned by AntiVirus and AntiSpam filters enabled in AXIGEN

Solution

Based on the results returned by AntiVirus & AntiSpam filters, the AXIGEN Mail Server can be configured to enforce different policies on the e-mail traffic such as Deliver/Move to Trash/Discard.

Enforcing AntiVirus actions can be done at the server level from the WebAdmin interface -> by accessing the Security & Filtering context -> AntiVirus and AntiSpam -> AntiVirus Actions section.
From this new section two types of policies ca be enabled based: for messages that are not cleanable and also for suspicious messages. You can for example ensure that malicious data will not be delivered to the hosted accounts by setting a Discard action for infected e-mails while deferring suspicious e-mails to let's say the Trash folder by a Move to Trash action or even Discard such messages if required.

In order to adjust the AntiSpam configuration in AXIGEN you should access from the WebAdmin interface -> the Security & Filtering context -> AntiVirus and AntiSpam -> AntiSpam Configuration section. In this section you can set two the thresholds based on the spam score contained by each e-mail: for moving the messages into the SPAM folder and for deleting the message (Move to Trash). You can also configure a whitelist that contains e-mail addresses that should be excluded from these AntiSpam policies and thus ensuring that the e-mails from those senders will always be delivered into the INBOX folder of the intended recipient(s).
