McAfee Security for Microsoft Exchange 8.6.0

Configure password-protected file settings

Configure settings in a policy to identify emails with password-protected archives and take necessary actions.

Password-protected files cannot be accessed without a password and cannot be scanned for malware. Password-protected files' policies specify how email messages that contain a password-protected file are handled.

Task
1 From Policy Manager, select a submenu item that has the filter.
The policy page for the submenu item appears.
2 Click Master policy or any subpolicy you want to configure, then click List All Scanners tab.
3 Click Password-Protected Files.
If you add a new filter to the policy, you can specify a time slot when to enable the filter, using What time would you like this to apply drop-down list.
4 In Actions, click Edit to specify the filter actions that must be taken when an email message containing password-protected file is detected.
If you set the action as Allow through, make sure that the Password protected bypass rule under File filtering rules and associated actions in File filtering scanner settings is the first rule in the list. If the rule is already listed at a different level, delete the rule, then select the rule from the Available rules drop-down list.
