I was testing out Alert Manager 4.7 on a XP Pro SP1 PC with Virus Scan Enterprise 7.1.0. I configured the SMTP to email me which tested OK.
Once I created the Eicar test virus and McAfee found it and put it in the Quarintine folder I received an incredible amount of email all stating the same thing; that the virus was found and quarintined. I received about 80 emails for the same thing with in about five minutes.
During that five minutes I deleted the test virus out of the Quarintine folder, disabled Virus Scan and stopped the Alert Manager service. The emails just kept coming. I then removed Alert Manager and shut down. When I rebooted the emails stopped.
Does any one know why I received so many emails for one test file infection?
I do use ePo 2.5.1 but I did not configure any Alert Manager properties in the console, this was just a first test to see if I wanted to use Alert Manager.
