By default, the File Protect appliance analyzes saved email (.eml) files for malware issues. Use the commands in this section to configure the maximum number of attachments that can be analyzed for each .eml file and the maximum recursive depth of the .eml file to be analyzed.

Note

EML parsing is configured using the CLI only.

To configure EML parsing settings:

  1. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

  2. Set the number of attachments:

    hostname (config) # eml attachment limit count

    where count is the number of attachments to analyze for each .eml file. The default value is 5; the range of values is 0-20.

  3. Set the maximum recursive depth of the .eml file:

    hostname (config) # eml recursive limit count

    where count is the maximum recursive depth of the .eml file to be analyzed. The default value is 3. The range of values is 0-3.

  4. Verify the configuration:

    hostname (config) # show eml
EML attachments limit: 5
EML extraction recursive limit: 3
