Scanning on existing folders - 2.Oct.2003 11:34:00 AM

I just started evaluating MailSecurity yesterday,
along with MailEssentials. Generally, the tests
have been going very well. We're at:

GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP v8.0
GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP v9.0

One thing I don't understand. The content and
attachment filtering started processing existing
mail and public folders. I had set the
properties to catch inbound traffic only.

Lots of existing material got quarantined
because of the content filter. I turned that
off, but left Attachment filter on. I got
in this morning and found that it had gone
through some of our large public folders
(historical entries), and quarantined LOTS
of attached word documents, etc.

Is there a way to stop MSEC from scanning
existing mailboxes/folders?

Thanks,
Don

Found this in another post:

"MailSecurity in VS-API mode will scann everything that is stored in the Exchange Information Store."

Yikes! I'm not sure that is a very good
idea for a default.
