Application Filter

Application filter allows to configure manual interception of mail traffic. In this mode, SpIDer Mail serves as a proxy between mail clients and mail servers and intercepts only those connections that are explicitly defined in the settings. To use this mode, you need also to configure mail clients on stations.

The list of intercepted addresses includes records each one of which establishes a correspondence between settings of SpIDer Mail and a mail server.

By default, the interception list is empty. You can add necessary records.

Configuring Mail Interception

1.Make a list of all mail servers whose connections you want to intercept and assign port numbers for these servers in arbitrary order. At this, use only unused non-system ports. The assigned numbers are called SpIDer Mail ports.

2.Select the Anti-virus network item in the main menu of the Control Center.

3.Click the name of the station or group in the hierarchical list of the opened window.

4.Click the Configuration > Windows > SpIDer Mail item in the opened control menu. Open the Application filter tab.

5.In the SpIDer Mail connections settings section, specify the following parameters:

•SpIDer Mail port—SpIDer Mail port that you assigned for the mail server at step 1;

•Server—the domain name or IP address of the mail server;

•Port—the port number that the mail server uses.

6.If necessary, repeat the step 5 for other servers. To add one more mail server to the list, click .

7.To stop intercepting connections to a certain mail server, click next to the item of the list that corresponds to this server.

8.In the Excluded applications list, you can specify the list of applications whose mail traffic will not be intercepted and checked by SpIDer Mail:

a)To exclude the application from the check, specify the path to the executable file of this application.

b)Only one excluded application is specified in each field. To add one more element to the list, click .

c)To remove an application from the exclusions list, click next to the item of the list that corresponds to this application.

9.After you configure all necessary settings, click Save to apply the changes on the station.

10.Configure the mail client at the station to support the manual interception mode by the SpIDer Mail component.

Configuring Mail Clients

If the SpIDer Mail configured to manual intercept connections with mail servers, change the settings of a mail client on the station as the following:

1.Set the addresses of the incoming and outgoing mail servers as localhost.

2.Set the mail server port to the SpIDer Mail port number that you assigned to the corresponding mail server.

Usually, you need to specify the following in the mail server settings:

localhost:<SpIDer_Mail_port>

where <SpIDer_Mail_port> is the number that you assigned to the mail server.
