Why compress attachments to ZIP?
This needs appear when you try to receive incoming messages remotely through GPRS or dial-up. Usually it is time consuming to download big (none-zipped) messages from users. In this way it is very cozy to receive 25 Kb message instead 650 Kb. But in local network it is not critical.
However, in some cases it is prevent automatic start up executable attached files. So any binary executable attached file appear in zip archive instead ready for execution [.exe]. Also, you can set password to any of your incoming attachments to increase security.
Would you like to compress attachments for archive or none-used mailboxes? This option is right for you.

Installation
Before install IMailZip Antivirus you must have properly installed Imail Ipswitch software.
1. Download and install IMailZip antivirus.

In both cases, there are no additional requirements, just start installation file and wait until the end of the setup process. To install ClamAV engine for Windows read the appropriate installation instruction.

Kaspersky Engine installation
1. Close all imailzip anvitirus programs and stop all imailzip antivirus services
2. Uninstall software
3. Restart computer
4. Open service manager and ensure that there is no ImailZip Services installed. Otherwise remove them manually and restart computer again.
5. Install the kaspersky engine into any directory
6. Start the kaspersky GUI (kengine.exe). If you have any errors please contact our support team.
7. Set correct host and port. By default 127.0.0.1:3385
8. Restart the engine
9. Set the LiveUpdate interval
10. Restart the engine again and ensure that you have no errors.

ImailZip Antivirus installation
1. Install the imailzip antivirus to any directory.
2. After installation execute izmanager.exe module.
3. Open the “Scanner settings” tab and enter valid host and port to connect to avp engine.
4. Press “Test scanner” to ensure that you have a properly established connection. After that you must receive EICAR virus result.
5. Press register button and enter the registration keys (domain\key)
6. Restart the software

Spool scanner Installation

ParameterTypeDefault value (Integer)Description
KeywordsStringfailed, invalid, bogus, rdeliver, ERRSyslog viewer select all strings from sysmmdd.txt file, depends on either keyword found or not
IgnoreMbxAfterDWord2048If the value of users mailbox is higher than IngoreMbxAfter parameter then IMailZip Manager will ignore local mailbox scanning for that box
CodepageStringwindows-1251To implement zip and copy functions the program convert filenames depends on the Codepage parameter and than save it to disk
MailboxListStringmain.mbxList of mailboxes, separated by comma, to scan for IMailZip manager module
ScannerPortDWord3385The value of TCP port which IMailZip Scanner takes in order to connect to Antivirus Engine
ScannerHostString127.0.0.1The value of TCP host which IMailZip Scanner takes in order to connect to Antivirus Engine
BackupPortDWordUndefinedThe value of TCP port in order to perform the backup request to obtain the valid information. Used when the primary engine is in shutdown or in the case of the failure, timeout or unknown response. Create this parameter manually if you want to use this feature. Before using please install the secondary engine first.
BackupHostStringUndefinedThe value of TCP host in order to perform the backup request to obtain the valid information.

Necessary to implement the replacement of Antivirus Engine from Imail machine to another. Also, in the case of using the single AV engine with multiply mail servers.
DSizeLimitDWord2097152Define the maximum size in bytes of incoming spool message. If the mail size value exceed this parameter the Scanner will ignore this mail.
WholeLimitDWord131072The value in bytes which define the size limit of incoming mail. If the mail size exceed this value the scanner will pass whole mail content to Antivirus engine to increase performance
Base64LimitDWord65536The value in bytes which define the base64 size limit of incoming mail. If the mail size exceed this value the scanner will pass whole mail content to Antivirus engine to increase performance only if there are no base64 decoded parts found
EventReloadDWord5000The value in milliseconds which define the timer interval to reload imailzip.log file for IMailZip Manager module. 0 means disable reload.
