Email Monitoring Attachments
SiteRecon email monitoring service provides the optional ability to attach a test file to the round-robin test messages send by SiteRecon. This feature is provided so you can completely test the operational status of email infrastructure components such as anti-virus and content filtering systems if desired.
Before selection of this option, consideration should be given to how your email infrastructure treats the test files below. The round-robin email send by SiteRecon, including the subject line, minus the attachment, must be returned to SiteRecon or a server down condition will be triggered. SiteRecon does NOT check for the return of the attachments send.
For example, if your anti-virus system deletes the Eicar.Txt attachment but permits the email processing to continue, the round-robin process will work as designed. Or, if you’re anti-virus system deletes the attachment, and then attaches a file stating original message attachment was deleted due a virus, the round-robin process will also work as designed. However, if your system is designed to totally delete the email, the round-robin process will fail and a server down condition will be triggered.
The test attachments offer a wealth of possibilities to insure your email infrastructure is operating as designed and all components are operations. If you architecture requires a different test file than the ones provided, please contact us.
