Server name:

 All notifications and quarantined mails are sent via the 

SMTP  service  or  Exchange  Server.  By  default  the  server  on  which 

GFI  MailSecurity  is  installed  is  used.  If  you  need  to  change  this  to 

another machine, you can do so here. 

The Verify button allows you to verify that GFI MailSecurity can send 

mail via this server. 

Update options 

Configuring update options 

The  options  for  updating  Virus  definitions,  Email  Exploits  and  Trojan 

and  Executable  scanner  definitions  are  configured  from  the  Updates 

tab in the General properties dialog. In this tab you can configure: 

  Whether to check for updates on the internet 

  Or download updates from a directory on your network. This option 

is useful if you have many MailSecurity servers and you prefer to 

download the updates to a single central location. 

If you select to check updates from the internet, you have to select 2 

further options: 

Download mode 

You  can  select  between  HTTP,  active  FTP  or  passive  FTP.  We 

recommend using active FTP or HTTP. Using HTTP saves you having 

to configure the firewall. 

WE RECOMMEND USING HTTP IF YOU HAVE A FIREWALL! 

Preferred Update server 

You can select a preferred update server. Select update.gfi.com if you 

are  located  in  the  US/Canada  and  update.gfisoftware.com  if  you  are 

located in Europe or other part of the world.
