IMail Anti-Virus logs three types of messages: Information, Warnings, and Errors. You can go into the configuration file to enable or disable certain types of logging. The logging options available in the configuration file are listed and explained in the table below.
The first three options are all-inclusive. For example, if you enable LOGAllErrorsEnable, all errors are logged. You do not need to enable the other error options.
