3 General

3.1 The Architecture of Avira AntiVir Exchange
Avira AntiVir Exchange consists of three main components: AntiVir Exchange Management Console, Avira AntiVir Exchange Server and Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration.
3.1.1 AntiVir Exchange Management Console
The AntiVir Exchange Management Console is the "cockpit" from where Avira AntiVir Exchange is configured and administered. It is a so-called "Snap-In" for the MMC.
The AntiVir Exchange Management Console can be used to administer individual Exchange servers with Avira AntiVir Exchange installed as well as entire "Avira AntiVir Exchange server farms". This simplifies daily administration tasks, in particular in a multi-server environment.
With the AntiVir Exchange Management Console, the Administrator has access to all configuration information needed and to the AntiVir Monitor (Quarantine) of the Avira AntiVir Exchange servers.
Two different access methods are used for configuring the system and for accessing the Quarantine.
1.
Standard Windows file access Here, AntiVir Exchange Management Console is run directly on the Exchange
server on which all components of Avira AntiVir Exchange are installed. This mode is suited for smaller systems and for managing the server locally.
2.
SOAP and SSL The AntiVir Monitor (refer to 3.3.3 AntiVir Monitor ) is accessed through SOAP and
SSL using a permanently assigned communication port.
The AntiVir Exchange Management Console supports two operating modes.
1.
Local Administration Here, the AntiVir Exchange Management Console is run directly on the Exchange
server on which all components of Avira AntiVir Exchange are installed. This mode is suited for smaller systems and for managing the server locally.
2.
Remote Administration In this case, the AntiVir Exchange Management Console is not installed on the
Exchange server, but on a client.
The AntiVir Exchange Management Console can run under the following client operating systems:
•
Windows 2000 Professional
15
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
•
Windows 2003
•
Windows XP Professional
•
Windows 2008
•
Windows Vista
Remote administration is suited for central administration in multi-server environments, with the AntiVir Exchange Management Console accessing one or more Exchange servers to configure and administer Avira AntiVir Exchange.
3.1.2 Avira AntiVir Exchange Server
The term Avira AntiVir Exchange Server refers to the Avira AntiVir Exchange functions and processes that are run on the Exchange server only.
The Avira AntiVir Exchange server can be installed in simple environments as well as more complex front-end/ back-end environments.
Avira AntiVir Exchange Server consists of several elements.
3.1.2.1 Grabber
The Grabber is a process ensuring that all messages, schedule queries, etc. sent, received or routed by the Exchange server are intercepted (grabbed).
The SMTP protocol is used in Microsoft Exchange for transporting e-mail, schedule queries, etc. The entire e-mail traffic is channeled through the SMTP Advanced Queue (a part of the SMTP protocol), regardless of whether the mail is internal (between mailboxes on the same server or mailbox store), inbound or outbound.
All messages must go through the Advanced Queue.The Grabber is “latched in” to this Advanced Queue. As a registered Event Sink, it monitors the mail traffic and routes all relevant information to the Avira AntiVir Exchange service – the second Avira AntiVir Exchange Server component. Each message is held there until Avira AntiVir Exchange Server has finished processing it.
Note: Exchange-internal information, for instance replication messages, are recognized as such by the Grabber and left in the Exchange system unchanged.
3.1.2.2 Avira AntiVir Exchange Service = Enterprise Message Handler (EMH)
As Windows service, the Avira AntiVir Exchange service is started on a permanent basis and uses all information provided by the Grabber. From then on, the subsequent processing through Avira AntiVir Exchange is entirely monitored and controlled by the Avira AntiVir Exchange service. If the Avira AntiVir Exchange service is stopped, the Avira AntiVir Exchange security functions are switched off.
The Avira AntiVir Exchange service has access to all information required, including, for instance:
•
the configured Avira AntiVir Exchange jobs,
•
the installed Avira AntiVir Exchange license,
16
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
•
the Active Directory,
•
the Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine
Using this information, it scans messages for viruses, identifies and quarantines spam and adds legal liability disclaimers.
After processing is complete, the Avira AntiVir Exchange service returns the e-mails to the Exchange server.
3.1.2.3 Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine
Virus-infected or other undesirable messages can optionally be stopped on the server to prevent them from reaching their intended recipients. These messages are instead placed in the Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine. Several default quarantines are set up on each Avira AntiVir Exchange server during installation. The Administrator can set up additional quarantines.
An Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine consists of the following:
•
Quarantine directory on the Exchange server (...\AntiVirData\Quarantine\Default Quarantine),
•
the messages copied into the Quarantine,
•
Quarantine database (LocIdxDB.mdb).
For each quarantined e-mail, Avira AntiVir Exchange automatically creates an entry in the Quarantine database, a Microsoft Access file.
The following information is stored in that database:
- Message Subject line
- Date and time
- Message sender
- Message recipient
- E-mail sender (SMTP)
- E-mail recipient (SMTP)
- Short description of the applicable restriction
- Message size
- Name of the Avira AntiVir Exchange job that quarantined the message
- Name of the Exchange server
- Name of the e-mail file
- Processing history
When you view an Avira AntiVir Exchange Quarantine using AntiVir Exchange Management Console, the information from the Quarantine database is shown first. When you open a Quarantine entry, further information is read from the e-mail file.
For communicating with the Quarantine, Avira AntiVir Exchange uses SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This applies both to local access directly on the server and to access from remote Windows workstations. By default, port 8008 is used for communications. You can change this port in AntiVir Exchange Management Console (Basic Configuration - AntiVir Server node), but you must then also make this change in all other Avira AntiVir Exchange consoles that access the server. All stations must use the same port. SSL is used to encrypt the SOAP communications channel. The required components are included in the installation
17
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
package.
3.1.2.4 Active Directory / LDIF
Avira AntiVir Exchange does not make any changes or additions to the Active Directory. However, Avira AntiVir Exchange does read various information from the Active Directory.
When started, the Avira AntiVir Exchange service determines the available Global Catalog server, which is used, for example, for resolving addresses in distribution lists during e-mail processing.
The AntiVir Exchange Management Console uses the Active Directory to select sender/recipient conditions.
If an Active Directory is not available – for example because the corresponding ports are not open – an LDIF file can be used. This can, for example, be created through an LDAP export from an Active Directory, an Exchange 5.5 user directory or a Notes Name and Address Book (NAB).
3.1.2.5 Compressed Files and Archives: Avira AntiVir Exchange Unpacker
Files are often compressed (zipped) before being sent by e-mail. To allow compressed files to be scanned for viruses, Avira AntiVir Exchange unpacks the files before running the scan. An unpacker is automatically installed with Avira AntiVir Exchange.
The unpacker supports the following archive formats:
- ACE
- CAB
- ZIP
- Selfextracting ZIP
- ARJ
- Selfextracting ARJ
- TAR
- GZIP
- TGZ (Tape archive)
- UUE (Executable compressed ASCII archive)
- LZH (LH ARC)
- RAR
- Selfextracting RAR
- Java Archive (.jar)
- BZIP2
Note: Archives can themselves contain further archives. By default, such recursively compressed files are decompressed to a nesting depth of five levels. All archives exceeding this nesting depth are moved to the badmail folder.
The standard upper limit for an e-mail including unpacked files is 500 MB. Such a limit is particularly important to handle so-called ZIP of Death attacks.
The recursion depth and the space restriction can be changed in the console under
General Settings - AntiVir Servers Settings - Properties - General tab.
3.1.3 Avira AntiVir Exchange Configuration
18
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
All information required to run Avira AntiVir Exchange is saved in the Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration file, an XML file named ConfigData.xml.
The structure of the ConfigData.xml file is similar to that of a database: various entries exist for each configuration area. Since all configuration settings are stored in a single file, the configuration can be easily distributed and backed up. If you have a problem with the configuration, you can simply send the ConfigData.xml file to the Avira Support team for assistance.
The configuration settings are needed by both the Avira AntiVir Exchange Server and the AntiVir Exchange Management Console. The Avira AntiVir Exchange server needs it, for example, to be informed of the Avira AntiVir Exchange jobs to be carried out. To make changes to the configuration with the console, the console must be able to access the ConfigData.xml file. The configuration file can be placed both in a local directory and on a shared network path. The Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration used by the AntiVir Exchange Management Console and the Avira AntiVir Exchange Server is specified through an entry in the Registry. The path to the configuration file can be entered in the
format C:\..... or as UNC path (\\Servername\Share\ConfigData.xml). If the
Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration file specified is not available, Avira AntiVir Exchange uses the "last known good" configuration, which is logged in the Windows Events Log.
The last known good configuration is saved locally for each server and is updated whenever the Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration is changed and access from the Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration file to the last know good configuration is possible.
Tip: To open a non-standard configuration with the Management Console, you must specify the file with a special parameter. Run the Avira.msc file with the parameter config and the desired configuration file, e.g.:
"C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir Exchange\Avira.msc" config "C:\OtherFolder\Directory\ConfigData.xml"
You can also specify a UNC path here.
For detailed instructions for customizing the Avira AntiVir Exchange configuration, refer to
1.3 Configuration in AntiVir Exchange Management Console .
The sequence is as follows:
1. An e-mail message arrives at the mail server.
2. The e-mail is intercepted from the SMTP Advanced Queue by the Grabber.
3. The Enterprise Message Handler (EMH) [= Avira AntiVir Exchange Service] fetches the mail for processing.
4. According to the configuration settings, the EMH checks whether or not the e-mail is to be processed by Avira AntiVir Exchange.
5. Messages to be processed are dealt with as specified in the configuration settings (jobs by priority).
6. When processing is complete, the EMH releases the e-mail and, if applicable, modifies the e-mail as configured.

The AntiVir Exchange Management Console window consists of three sections: Basic
22
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
Configuration, Policy Configuration and Avira AntiVir Exchange Monitor.
3.3.1 Basic Configuration
The Basic Configuration is used for general settings and the essential basic settings of the modules.
• General settings, such as:
• address lists
• templates
• Avira AntiVir Exchange servers
• Folders (such as Quarantines)
• Utilities:
• dictionaries for content checking
• fingerprints for blocking attachments

3.3.1.1 Configuration Reports
The configuration reports provide an overview of the current configuration:
1. Right-click on Basic Configuration and select All tasks - Show Configuration Reports.
2. Click on the desired report:
23
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
3. Click on Display report:
The report is opened as HTML file in the browser.
4. Click Preview Report for a preview of the printed report.
5. Click Save Report to save the selected report as HTML file.
3.3.1.2 Import Configuration
Attention: Before you update a Basic Configuration object, make a backup copy of the existing object. The new version replaces the old one, overwriting any user-defined settings.
To update any elements and items (such as dictionaries and fingerprints) with a new version:
1. Select Basic Configuration - All Tasks - Import Configuration
2. Select the appropriate XML file provided by Avira for update purposes
Attention: This function updates only individual jobs, not the complete configuration (ConfigData.xml).
3.3.1.3 AntiVir Servers Settings
The AntiVir Servers Settings option is used to configure the standard settings for all Avira
24
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
AntiVir Exchange servers. Additionally, each server can be configured individually; for details refer to 3.3.1.4 Settings for an Individual AntiVir Server .
1. Select Basic Configuration - General Settings
2. To open the Properties:
a. In the right window, right-click on AntiVir Servers Settings and select
Properties. b. Or open the Properties with a double-click on AntiVir Servers Settings. c. Or in the left window section under Basic Configuration, right-click on
AntiVir Server and select Properties.
Packed Files and AntiVir Monitor
The settings on the General tab set the maximum size of unpacked files on the hard disk and the maximum recursion depth for archives. Whenever an e-mail exceeds one of these values, it is moved to the BADMAIL area.
Attention: Be sure to use a correct setting for the communication port for AntiVir Monitor. Otherwise, communication with the servers will be impossible.
Usually, port 8008 is used (also entered as default port during installation). The values specified here apply to all servers.
25
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
In this context, also read the description on allocating rights and security settings under
3.3.3 AntiVir Monitor .
Collective Notification
As a general rule, each job can be configured so that when a specific event occurs, the recipients, senders and/or administrators are informed of this event (Actions tab).
If several events occur for an e-mail, the Avira AntiVir Exchange servers are not configured (by default) to send separate notifications for each event. Instead, all notifications are combined to a single collective notification, i.e. the recipients receive a single notification mail with a list of all events that have occurred.
The template used is under Collective Notifications Templates. You can change this template or create new templates.
Note: If you prefer to send individual e-mail notifications for each event, select General Settings - AntiVir Servers Settings - Properties - General tab and
26
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
disable the Create collective notifications option.
Central Whitelists
In multi-server environments each server involved creates its own user whitelists. Thus, without server synchronization, each user is provided with a separate whitelist for each of the servers, which all need to be maintained individually. In order to manage these whitelists centrally and simplify administration, you can set up a Microsoft SQL server instead of the standard local database based on the Microsoft Jet Engine. This Microsoft SQL server will write the information for all Avira AntiVir Exchange servers involved to a central SQL database.
To create a central user whitelist, you need to configure a database connection between the SQL server and the Avira AntiVir Exchange Server (Basic Configuration - Database Connections). Once the connection has been established, select the appropriate configuration in the Select database connection for Whitelist entries field, under
AntiVir Servers Settings - General tab.
Definition of e-mail addresses and internal domains
Avira AntiVir Exchange requires a number of basic settings concerning the mail domain of the mails processed. During installation, the e-mail address of the Avira AntiVir Exchange Administrator specified is used for the following Avira AntiVir Exchange basic settings:
27
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
•
Administrator(s): The Avira AntiVir Exchange Administrator addresses entered in this field will receive important status notifications on the installation as well as the configured Administrator notifications. As default, the installation enters the Administrator address prompted for.
•
Notification sender: The sender shown in the Avira AntiVir Exchange notifications. As default, the installation enters Avira AntiVir Exchange with the mail domain of the Administrator address prompted for.
•
Reply address: The recipient stored in the Avira AntiVir Exchange notifications of replies to these notifications. As default value, the installation program enters the Administrator address prompted for.
•
Internal domains: The mail domains entered in this field are considered as internal mail domains, all others as external ones. This setting is used to enable the Avira AntiVir Exchange rule engine to identify incoming and outgoing mails through the sender and recipient addresses. For instance, a spam filter job will only apply to incoming mails, while a trailer is not to be added to an incoming mail.
28
Avira AntiVir Exchange 7
Multiple domains are separated by Carriage Return. Subdomains are automatically included, when the main domain is preceded by a "*" wildcard, e.g. *.domain.com. As default, the installation enters the mail domain of the Administrator address prompted for.
These entries apply to all Avira AntiVir Exchange servers. The settings can be changed at any time in the same window.
3.3.1.4 Settings for an Individual AntiVir Server
Select Basic Configuration - AntiVir Server and in the right window double-click the required server to view its properties.
To define a new server, right-click AntiVir Servers - New - AntiVir Server and edit its
