Hypersoft Scan Agent

Now you can scan through all mail

A special scanning service is a part of the OmniAnalyser™ functionality. This allows you to can scan through all the company’s messaging traffic data for specific messages or attachments, thus identifying messages or attachments which may carry a virus or bulky multimedia data as well as violate the company’s security policies.

Principles of Scan Agent functionality

The OmniAnalyser Scan Agent is a separate Service Agent, which is installed together with each OmniAnalyser™ Agent on the same server and provides you with more detailed information on the mail items passing through this server. Overnight the Scan Agent scans through all mailboxes on its server for the message subjects, contents and the titles of their attachments. As a result, it produces log files and sends them to the main application of OmniAnalyser™. This data is stored in two OmniAnalyser™ tables, for messages and attachments respectively. Once the information is retrieved, the user is able to search through it for any specific messages or attachments.

Mailbox Content Report

The search results are presented to the user in another OmniAnalyser™ report, which can be viewed, similarly to all other reports, in Internet browser. In the welcome page of the Mailbox Contents Report you may type in the keyword or a part of message or attachment title, specify the period of time during which the mail was sent and the mail size and click ‘Find.’  The resulting table will include the following columns:

• Message - message title, in which the key word was found

• Attachment - attachment name

• Found In - full directory name of the mailbox where the mail was found

• On Server - name of the mailbox home server

• Originator - originator’s address

• Size - size of the message

The Scan Agent is installed in the same way as all other Exchange Agents.
