Use this screen to designate those who should receive notification messages when a virus or restricted attachment is detected, or when the antivirus or Spam Filter files are updated.

Notification Messages

All messages sent From:

Use this box for specifying the address from which you wish the notification messages to be sent.

Send virus notification message to...

When a message arrives with a file attachment containing a virus, a warning message will be sent to the individuals designated in this section. A customized warning message can be sent to the sender, recipient, and the administrators that you have designated on the Recipients screen. To customize the message for any of the three entries, select one of them from the list and then edit the message that appears on the bottom half of this screen. Each entry has its own message, though by default this isn't obvious since some are identical.

Send restricted attachment notification message to...

When a message arrives with a file attachment matching a restricted attachment entry (listed on the Attachments tab) a warning message will be sent to the individuals designated in this section. A customized warning message can be sent to the sender, recipient, and the administrators that you have designated on the Recipients tab. To customize the message for any of the three entries, select one of them from the list and then edit the message that appears on the bottom half of this tab. Each entry has its own message, though by default this isn't obvious since all three are identical.

Send Spam Filter update notification to Administrators

Use this option if you wish to send an email to the administrators whenever the Spam Filter is updated, containing the results of the update. This option is the same as the "Send notification email with results of update" option located at: Spam Filter » Updates.

Message Subject:

This text will be displayed in the "Subject:" header of the notification message that is sent.

Message

This is the message that will be sent to the entry selected in the list above when the checkbox corresponding to that entry is enabled. You can directly edit this message from the box in which it is displayed.

| The actual files containing this text are located in the MDaemon\app\ directory. They are: cfattrem[adm].dat - Restricted attachment message – Admins cfattrem[rec].dat - Restricted attachment message – Recipient cfattrem[snd].dat - Restricted attachment message – Sender cfvirfnd[adm].dat - Virus found message – Admins cfvirfnd[rec].dat - Virus found message – Recipient cfvirfnd[snd].dat - Virus found message – Sender Should you desire to restore one of these messages to its original appearance, simply delete the relevant file and MDaemon will recreate it in its default state.

Message Macros

For your convenience, certain macros may be used in the notification messages and other messages that the Content Filters generate. You may use any of the following macros:

$ACTUALTO$ | Some messages may contain an "ActualTo" field which generally represents the destination mailbox and host as it was entered by the original user prior to any reformatting or alias translation. This macro is replaced with that value.
$AV_VERSION$ | Lists the version of AntiVirus that you are using.
$CURRENTTIME$ | This macro is replaced with the current time when the message is being processed.
$ACTUALFROM$ | Some messages may contain an "ActualFrom" field which generally represents the origination mailbox and host prior to any reformatting or alias translation. This macro is replaced with that value.
$FILTERRULENAME$ | This macro is replaced by the name of the rule whose criteria the message matched.
$FROM$ | Expands to the full address contained in the message's "From:" header.
$FROMDOMAIN$ | This macro will insert the domain name contained in the address found in the message's "From:" header (the value to the right of "@" in the email address).
$FROMMAILBOX$ | Lists the mailbox portion of the address found in the message's "From:" header (the value to the left of "@" in the email address).
$GEN_GUID$ | Generates a unique ID with 11 alpha-numeric characters. Example: 0XVBASADTZC
$HEADER:xx$ | This macro will cause the value of the header specified in place of the "xx" to be expanded in the reformatted message. For example: If the original message has "TO: user01@example.com" then the $HEADER:TO$ macro will expand to "user01@example.com". If the original message has "Subject: This is the subject" then the $HEADER:SUBJECT$ macro would be replaced with the text "This is the subject"
$HEADER:MESSAGE-ID$ | As with $HEADER:[xx]$ above, this macro will expand to the value of the Message-ID header.
