Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the symantec product suite and I was wondering how I would come about scanning email attachments effectively.
Currently both Symantec Mail Security for Exchange 6.5.5.255 is scanning emails and their attachments, but our Symantec Endpoint Clients 11.0.5002.333 are also scanning emails and their attachments on the client side of things.
To me that doesn't sound logical. How would I go about making this more productive ?
I tried searching for white papers or best practise documents through google but all I get are Knowledge Bases that explain problems with attachment scanning and so on. I'm trying to gather usefull information concerning this topic but either I use the wrong search strings or I'm looking in the wrong place, hence this post here.
Would it be as easy as leaving Mail Security to scan all and excempting .OLK files through the Enpoint Clients ? I reckon this would effectivly disable scanning attachments?
Can I just disable "Enable Microsoft Outlook Auto-protect" in the Endpoint antivirus/antispyware policies that apply to my clients ? Would that be wise ?
The goal is to give the end users both on LAN and REMOTE (RAS/VPN) the best outlook experience possible. So if we could SAFELY remove unnecessary tasks such as attachment scanning (since mail security scanned them on exchange server already) that that would be GREAT.
I hope I post this in the correct section/forum.
Kind regards
Steve
