CHANNEL ACTION MATRIX CONFIGURATION
Each Preprocessor module has a Channel Action Matrix. The Preprocessor uses the Channel Action Matrix to determine if the plug-in modules (AntiVirus, AntiSpam, LoopDetection, AutoTextInsertion, TNEFExpander, and FilterAttachment) will be enabled or used for a particular message flow in the Preprocessor's input and output channels matrix.
The Channel Action Matrix appears as a table with the leftmost column containing the different input channels:
- LOCALOUT
Input channel for messages originating from a mailsort filter. For example, messages produce by a mail forwarding filter of a Message Store account uses this as input channel.
- SMTPD
Input channel for messages originating from the Internet..
- BSMTPIN
Input channel for messages originating from BSMTP POP3 accounts.
- NOTESOUT
Input channel for messages originating from Notes users.
- CCOUT
Input channel for messages originating from cc:Mail users.
- DLOUT
Input channel for messages originating from the DL Manager.
- WEBCLIENT
Input channel for messages originating from the Web Mail Client (WMC) users.
- TNEF
Input channel for messages originating from the TNEF Expander module.
and the topmost row containing all the output channels:
- CCMAIL
Output channel for messages destined for cc:Mail users.
- LOCAL
Output channel for messages destined for the local Message Store users.
- SMTPC
Output channel for messages destined for the Internet.
- BSMTPOUT
Output channel for messages destined for a BSMTP domain forwarding accounts.
- NOTES
Output channel for messages destined for Notes users.
- DL
Output channel for messages destined for a distibution list users.
Note: The cc:Mail and Notes channels are visible only if the cc:Mail/Notes connectors are installed.
To configure the Channel Action Matrix, do the following:
- In the Channel Action Matrix, mark the check box corresponding to each combination of input/output channels you wish the selected module be enabled.
For example, you wish all mail coming from the Internet destined to your local Message Store users to be scanned for viruses. What you need to do is to configure the Channel Action Matrix of the Anti-virus module to enable the virus scanning on messages that flow from the SMTPD channel (input channel for messages from the Internet) to the LOCAL channel (output channel for messages destined for local users). To do this, you simply need to mark the check box in the Channel Action Matrix where the SMTPD and LOCAL channels intersect.
