1.1Overview
CHAPTER 115
Introduction
Malicious code, such as computer viruses, is one of the main threats for
companies today. In the past, malicious code spread mainly via disks and
the most common viruses were the ones that infected disk boot sectors.
When users began to use office applications with macro capabilities such as Microsoft Office - to write documen t s and distribu te them via mail
and groupware servers, macro viruses started spreading rapidly.
After the millennium, the most common spreading mechanism has been
the e-mail. Today about 90% of viruses arrive via e-mail. E-mails provide
a very fast and efficient way for viruses to spread themselves without any
user intervention and that is why e-mail worm outbreaks, like Sober,
Netsky and Bagle, have caused a lot of damage around the world.
F-Secure Anti-Virus Mail Server and Gateway products are designed to
protect your company's mail and groupware servers and to shield the
company network from any malicious code that travels in HTTP or SMTP
traffic. In addition, they protect your company network against spam. The
protection can be implemented on the gateway level to screen all
incoming and outgoing e-mail (SMTP), web surfing (HTTP and
FTP-over-HTTP) and file transfer (FTP) traffic. Furthermore, it can be
implemented on the mail server level so that it does not only protect
inbound and outbound traffic but also internal mail traffic and public
sources, such as public folders on Microsoft Exchange servers.
Providing the protection already on the gateway level has plenty of
advantages. The protection is easy and fast to set up and install,
compared to rolling out antivirus protection on hundreds or thousands of
workstations. The protection is also invisible to the end users which
ensures that the system cannot be by-passed and makes it easy to
maintain. Of course, protecting the gateway level alone is not enough to
provide a complete antivirus solution; file server and workstation level
protection is needed, also.
Why clean 1000 workstations when you can clean one attachment at the
gateway level?

1.2How F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange
Works
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is designed to detect and
disinfect viruses and other malicious code from e-mail transmissions
through Microsoft Exchange Server. Scanning is done in real time as the
mail passes through Microsoft Exchange Server. On-demand scanning of
user mailboxes and public folders is also available.

Powerful and Always
Up-to-date
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange scans attachments and
message bodies for malicious code. It can also be instructed to remove
particular attachments according to the file name or the file extension.
If the intercepted mail contains malicious code, F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange can be configured to disinfect or drop the content.
Any malicious code found during the scan process can be placed in the
Quarantine, where it can be further examined. Stripped attachments can
also be placed in the Quarantine for further examination.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is installed on Microsoft
Exchange Server and it intercepts mail traveling to and from mailboxes
and public folders. The messages and documents are scanned with the
scanning component, F-Secure Content Scanner Server, which also
disinfects the infected messages.
functions, which means that the system administrator can specify a
recipient, such as the network administrator, to be notified about the
infection found in the data content.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange uses the award-winning
F-Secure Anti-Virus techniques and scanning engines to ensure the
highest possible detection rate and disinfection capability. The F-Secure
Anti-Virus definition databases are upda ted typically multiple times a day
and they provide F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange an always
up-to-date protection capability.

Administration Modes
Scalability and
Reliability
Easy to
Administer
Massive spam and virus outbreaks consist of millions of messages which
share at least one identifiable pattern that can be used to distinguish the
outbreak. Any message that contains one or more of these patterns can
be assumed to be a part of the same spam or virus outbreak.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can identify these patterns
from the message envelope, headers and body, in any language,
message format and encoding type. It can detect spam messages and
new viruses during the first minutes of the outbreak.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be installed either in
stand-alone or centrally administered mode. Depending on how it has
been installed, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is managed
either with the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console
or F-Secure Policy Manager.
F-Secure Policy Manager provides a scalable way to manage the security
of multiple applications on multiple operating systems, from one central
location.F-Secure Policy Manager is comprised of two components,
F-Secure Policy Manager Console and F-Secure Policy Manager Server,
which are used to administer applications. They are seamlessly
integrated with the F-Secure Management Agents that handle all
management functions on local hosts.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is installed in stand-alone
mode it can be managed with the web-based user interface.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has been installed in
centrally administered configuration, it is managed with F-Secure Policy
Manager. With its graphical user interface, F-Secure Policy Manager
Console provides a centralized view of the domains and hosts in your
network, lets you configure the security policies for all F-Secure

components and set up scheduled scans and run manual scanning
operations. F-Secure Policy Manager receives status information from
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
F-Secure Policy Manager Server is the server side component that
handles communication between F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange and F-Secure Policy Manager Console. It exchanges security
policies, software updates, status information, statistics, alerts, and other
information between F-Secure Policy Manager Console and all managed
systems.

Viruses are intercepted before they can enter the network and
spread out on workstations and servers.
Real-time scanning of internal, inbound and outbound mail
messages and public folder notes.
Automatic protection of new mailboxes and public folders.
Total transparency to end-users. Users cannot bypass the
system, which means that messages and documents cannot be
exchanged without scanning.
ManagementControlling and monitoring the behavior of the products remotely.
Starting predefined operations remotely.
Monitoring statistics provided by the products remotely with
F-Secure Policy Manager or F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange Web Console.
Possibility to configure and manage stand-alone installations with
the convenient F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web
Console.
You can manage and search quarantined content with the
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console.
Protection against
Spam
Possible spam messages are transparently detected before they
become widespread.
Efficient spam detection based on different analyses on the
e-mail content.
Multiple filtering mechanisms guarantee the high accuracy of
spam detection.
Spam m essages can be separated from legitimate messages and
processed using the Spam Confidence Levels.
Spam detection works in every language and message format.
Page 21
1.4Scanning Methods
Virus Scanning
The virus scan uses virus definition databases to detect and disinfect
viruses. Virus definition databases are updated typically multiple times a
day and they provide an always up-to-date protection capability.
Heuristic Scanning
The heuristic scan analyzes files for suspicious code behavior so that the
product can detect unknown malware.
Proactive Virus Threat Detection
The proactive virus threat detection analyzes e-mail messages for
possible virus patterns and security threats. All possibly harmful
messages are quarantined as unsafe. The proactive virus thr eat detection
can detect new viruses during the first minutes of the outbr ea k.
Grayware Scanning
The grayware scan detects applications that have annoying or
undesirable behavior that can reduce the performance of computers on
the network and introduce significant security risks to your organization.
Grayware includes spyware, adware, dialers, joke programs, remote
access tools, and any other unwelcome files and programs that can
perform a variety of undesired and threatening actions, such as irritating
users with pop-up windows, logging user key strokes, and exposing the
computer to vulnerabilities.

Page 41
Which SQL Server to Use for the Quarantine Database?
As a minimum requirement, the Quarantine database should have the
capacity to store information about all inbound and outbound mail to and
from your organization that would normally be sent during 2-3 days.
The upgrade installation does not upgrade the SQL server if you
choose to use the existing database.
If you want to upgrade MSDE 2000 to SQL Server 2005 Express,
follow the instructions on the Microsoft web page:
Take the following SQL server specific considerations into account when
deciding which SQL server to use:
CHAPTER 341
Installation
Microsoft SQL Server
2005 Express Edition
When using Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Edition,
the Quarantine database size is limited to 4 GB.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Edition supports
Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
It is not recommended to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Express Edition if you are planning to use centralized quarantine
management with multiple F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange installations.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is delivered
together with F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange, and
you can install it during the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange Setup.
Page 42
42
Microsoft SQL
Server 2000, 2005
and 2008
If your organization sends a large amount of e-mails, it is
recommended to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008.
It is recommended to use Microsoft SQL Server if you are
planning to use centralized quarantine management with multiple
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange installations.
Note that the product does not support Windows Authentication
when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server. The Microsoft SQL
Server that the product will use for the Quarantine database
should be configured to use Mixed Mode authentication.
If you plan to use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008,
you must purchase it and obtain your own license before you
start to deploy F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange. To
purchase Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008, contact your
Microsoft reseller.
3.2.2Additional Windows Components
Depending on how you deploy the product to your network system, the
following Windows components may be required:
Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 is required to install
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, and Microsoft .NET
Framework version 3.5 is required with Microsoft SQL Server
2008 Express Edition.
If you plan to have Microsoft SQL Server on the same server,
Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed before installing
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft .NET
Framework can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download
Center.
If you plan to install the product on Microsoft Windows 2000
platform, the latest Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC,
version 2.8 or newer) have to be installed to the system before
installing the product. The latest version of MDAC can be
downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
Page 43
3.2.3Web Browser Software Requirements
In order to administer the product with F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange Web Console, one of the following web browsers is required:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later
Opera 9.00 or later
Any other web browser supporting HTTP 1.0, SSL, javascripts and
cookies may be used as well. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or earlier
cannot be used to administer the product.
3.3Improving Reliability and Performance
You can improve the system reliability and overall performance by
upgrading the following components.
ProcessorIf the system load is high, a fast processor on the Microsoft Exchange
Server speeds up the e-mail message processing. As Microsoft
Exchange Server handles a large amount of data, a fast processor alone
is not enough to guarantee a fast operation of F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange.
CHAPTER 343
Installation
MemoryMemory consumption is directly proportional to the size of processed
mails - scanning a single mail may use memory in amounts up to three
times the size of the mail concerned. If the average size of mail messages
is big, or Microsoft Exchange Server has to process large messages
regularly , increasing the amo unt of physical memory increa ses the overall
performance.
If large messages are processed only now and then, it might be enough
to increase the size of the virtual memory. In this case, large messages
will slow the system down.
Page 44
44
Hard DriveHard drive size is an important reliability factor. Hard drive performance is
crucial for Microsoft Exchange Server to perform well. For best
performance, a RAID system is recommended; for servers with only
moderate load, SCSI hard disks are adequate. If your server has an IDE
hard disk, DMA access support is recommended.
Operating
System
It is highly recommended to have the latest service packs for the
operating system being used. These fixes make the platform more stable
and thus increase the reliability of the system.
3.4Centrally Administered or Stand-alone
Installation?
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange can be managed either with
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Web Console or F-Secure
Policy Manager Console. You can select the management method when
you install the product.
If you already use F-Secure Policy Manager to administer oth er F-Secure
products, it is recommended to install F-Secure An ti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange in centralized administration mode.
The quarantined mails are managed using the F-Secure Anti-Virus for
Microsoft Exchange Web Console in both centrally administered and
stand-alone installations. In centrally managed environments all other
features are managed with F-Secure Policy Manager.
Page 45

3. Modify settings by assigning new values to the basic leaf node
variables (marked by the leaf icons) shown in the Policy tab of the
Properties pane. For detailed explan ations of all variables, see
“F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange Settings”, 76
Initially , every variable has a default value, which is displayed in gray.
Select the variable from the Properties pane and enter the new value
in the Editor pane to change it. You can either type the new value or
select it from a list box.
Click Clear to revert to the default value or Undo to cancel the most
recent change that has not been distributed.
Settings that are configured during the installation and the
initial setup require that you select the Final check box from the
Product View pane. For more information, see “Changing
Settings That Have Been Modified During Installation or
Upgrade”, 74.
4. After you have modified settings and cretated a new policy, it must be
distributed to hosts. Choose Distribute from the File menu.
5. After distributing the policy, you have to wait for F-Secure Anti-Virus
for Microsoft Exchange to poll the new policy file.
For testing purposes you may also want to change the polling
intervals. To do that, select the domain in F-Secure Policy
Manager console and set the Incoming Packages Polling
Interval and Outgoing Packages Update Interval variables to
30-45 seconds. The variables are located under each of the
two trees in the F-Secure Management Agent / Settings /
Communications branch. Note that since the default polling
interval is 10 minutes, it might take up to 10 minutes for the
new setting to take effect.
Alternatively, you can click Poll the server now in F-Secure
Management Agent.
To view statistics, select the Status tab of the Properties pane. Statistics
are updated periodically and can be reset by ch oosing Reset Statistics on

Changing Settings That Have Been Modified During Installation
or Upgrade
If you want to change a setting that has been modified locally du ring
installation or upgrade, you need to mark the setting as Final in the
restriction editor. The settings descriptions in this manual indicate the
settings for which you need to use the Final restriction. You can also
check in F-Secure Policy Manager Console whether you need to use the
Final restriction for a setting. Do the following:
1. Select the Policy tab and then select the setting you want to check.
2. Select the Status tab to see if the setting has been modified locally.
If the setting is not shown in grayed font in the Status view, then
the product uses the setting from the base po licy an d th er ef or e
the Final restriction is not needed.
If the setting is shown in normal black font, then the setting has
been modified locally. You must mark the setting as Final when
you change it.
If F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is installed in the centrally
administered mode, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange is
managed centrally with F-Secure Policy Manager. In the centralized
administration mode, you can use the F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange Web Console for the quarantine man agement and to check the
current status of F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange, but you
cannot change any settings with it.

5.2.1General Settings
Notifications
Specify Notification Sender Address that is used by F-Secure Anti-Virus
for Microsoft Exchange for sending warning and informational messages
to the end-users (for example, recipients, senders and mailbox owners).
Make sure that the notification sender address is a valid SMTP
address. A public folder cannot be used as the notification sender
address.
Page 77
Network Configuration
The mail direction is based on the Internal Domains and Internal SMTP senders settings and it is determined as follows:
1. E-mail messages ar e con sid e re d internal if they come from internal
SMTP sender hosts and mail recipients belong to one o f the specified
internal domains (internal recipients).
2. E-mail messages are considered outbound if they come from
internal SMTP sender hosts and mail recipients do not belong to the
specified internal domains (external recipients).
3. E-mail messages that come from hosts that are not defined as
internal SMTP sender hosts are conside red inbound.
4. E-mail messages submitted via MAPI or Pickup Folder are treated as
if they are sent from the internal SMTP sender host.
If e-mail messages come from internal SMTP sender hosts and
contain both internal and external recipients, message s are split
and processed as internal and outbound respectively.
Internal DomainsSpecify internal domains. Messages coming to

Separate each IP address with a space. An IP
address range can be defined as:
a network/netmask pair (for example,
10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0), or
a network/nnn CIDR specification (for
example, 10.1.0.0/16).
Y ou can use an asterisk (* ) to match any number
or dash (-) to define a range of numbers. For
example,
172.16.4.4 172.16.*.1 172.16.4.0-16
172.16.250-255.*
If end-users in the organization use other than
Microsoft Outlook e-mail client to send and
receive e-mail, it is recommended to specify all
end-user workstations as Internal SMTP
Senders.
If the organization has Exchange Edge and Hub
servers, the server with the Hub role installed
should be added to the Internal SMTP Sender
on the server where the Edge role is installed.
IMPORTANT: Do not specify the server where
the Edge role is installed as Internal SMTP

Using Keywords in Content Filtering
When the content filtering is enabled, all messages are checked against
every keyword sequence that is specified in the selected list of keywords.
A keyword may contain any characters, including pu nctuation symbols,
spaces, and other word separators. Keywords are case insensitive.
Page 96
96
You can use ‘?’ character in a keyword to match any character in that
position in the keyword and ‘*’ to match any number of characters.
Keyword examples:
exampleMatches any message text or subject that
contains the word ‘example’.
another exampleMatches any message text or subject that
contains the ‘another example’ text. Words
‘another’ and ‘example’ have to be separated
with exactly one space character.
co?p?rateMatches any message text or subject that
contains - for example - words ‘corporate’ or
‘cooperate’.
another*exampleMatches any message text or subject that
contains words ‘another’ and ‘example’
separated with any number of characters. For
example, ‘another example’ or ‘another keyword
example’.
To represent ‘?’ or ‘*’ characters themselves in keywords, use ‘\?’ and ‘\*’
sequences correspondingly. To represent ‘\’ character, use ‘\\’.
For example, to match the '*** SPAM ***' string, enter '\*\*\* spam \*\*\*'.
S pam Control
To change settings used when inbound messages are scanned for spam,
see “Administering F-Secure Spam Control”, 278.
The threat detection engine of F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft
Exchange can identify spam and virus patterns from the message
