Reject Malware during SMTP transaction
System-Z
over 9 years ago
What are the advantages and disadvantages of having this checked under SMTP Antivirus?
We seem to have gotten quite a bit of trojan's through email as of this past week.

Hi,
advantage:
not having to have the malware in your quarantine, etc.
disadvantage:
possibly rejecting legitimate mail due to potential false positives
If the trojans you mention aren't getting quarantined then I don't think this setting will make a difference.
Are you doing dual A/V scan?
