More Info
This applies to the WorkgroupMail v7 Enterprise Edition and the WorkgroupMail v7 Professional Edition where these two plug-ins are registered (such as the default configuration when evaluating the Professional Edition). Click View | Summary in the Administrator program to check this. In the case where both plug-ins are registered the two functions are merged into the Content Filtering for added flexibility and the Virus Protection plug-in is not listed separately. This allows a wide choice of responses to be made when a virus infected message has been received and detected.
