End Point Sec and Protection - Email / pop3 protection?

We've moved from KAV Business Space Security to EPSC 9.7 deployed via EC 4.7.

As a test i've received several eicar laced emails and all came through ok to the EPSC clients and it wasn't until we saved then executed the files (.com .exe) that an alert came up. On the KAV clients the emails were removed from Outlook and replaced with a virus found message, even on the odd client we have with Avast we were denied access to the virus emails.

I've searched and searched within the EC polices in relation to email / pop3 (Outlook clients) protection and can find nothing to configure for email protection. Am i missing something?

Thanks.

Hello Buddy,
it might be unfamiliar that access to an email is not intercepted when it contains a mailcious attachment. The important thing is that the content is blocked when you're actually about to "use" it. It is not necessary to decode and scan the attachments "in advance". Usually the gateway should scan and remove such messages in the first place but if it doesn't on-access will intercept the open of a decoded attachment.
