How to restore the default eScan Spam rules in the eMail Client

Problem reported:

During installation, eScan add's its Spam rule-sets in the default email client (Outlook Express using SMTP/POP3 for sending/receiving emails).

 

How to restore these default eScan Rules in the email client if the same has been mistakenly deleted by the user.

 

Solution:
Click on the Windows "Start" button, then on "Run" and type "win.ini" without quotes.
This will open WIN.INI file in a notepad.

 

Now, Search for the below entry:

 

"AddMailerRule=2"

 

Change the value of that Entry to "1".
It should now display as "AddMailerRule=1"

 

Save and Close the file.

 

Now, open eScan Protection Center and Start "Mail Anti-Virus" and then "Anti-Spam".

This will restore the default eScan Spam rules in the eMail Client.

 

(Please do note that just by executing Launch.exe will not create/add the Spam folder and eScan Rules in the email client.

You need to first have either Mail Anti-Virus and/or Anti-Spam module enabled on that system for LAUNCH.EXE to work. 

 

So simply, just modify win.ini as explained and Start Mail AV / Anti-Spam module once.

 

Please Note:

eScan will create/restore the spam rules only in “Microsoft Outlook Express” and not in “Microsoft Outlook”.
