FpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy enumeration

Applies to: desktop apps only

The FpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy enumerated type contains values that describe the policy used to decide which of the selected antivirus engines should be used to scan email messages.

Syntax

typedef enum  { 
  fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_All        = 0,
  fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_Available  = 1,
  fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_Dynamic    = 2,
  fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_One        = 3
} FpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy;

Constants

• fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_All
  All of the selected antivirus engines should be used to scan email messages. If an engine is taken offline to be updated, the mail flow is queued until the engine is returned to service.

• fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_Available
  All of the selected antivirus engines that are available should be used to scan email messages. This is the default value. If an engine is taken offline to be updated, mail continues to be scanned by the remaining selected antivirus engines.

• fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_Dynamic
  A dynamically chosen subset of the selected antivirus engines should be used to scan email messages.

• fpcMailAntivirusEngineSelectionPolicy_One
  One antivirus engine that is dynamically chosen from the selected engines should be used to scan email messages.

Remarks

Using more engines increases the likelihood that all viruses will be caught. However, the higher is the number of engines used, the greater is the impact on system performance.
