Archive Handling
The Archive Handling section looks like this:
Using this section, you can configure blocking and other actions for encrypted,
corrupted, multi-part archives, archives containing mail bombs (an archive is
a mail bomb if its content size exceeds the limit set by the user), and archiv
es
exceeding the maximum recursion level, i. e. how deep archives are nested
within each other.
The size and recursion level limits are configured in the Archive Handl
ing
Options section, which is also provided on this tab.
If a virus is contained within an archive that is compressed, the virus cannot
be detected and prevented from downloading.
The Archive Handler decompresses the members of an archive one-by-one,
and passes them on to the virus scanner. When the archive member containing
the v irus is decompressed, virus scanner detects t
he virus, so the archive can
be blocked.
You can configure different actions for archives in Web and e-mail traffic.
After selecting these actions from the drop-down
lists provided here, click on
Apply Changes to make your settings effective.
