INTRODUCTION
This article describes how Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server scans calendar items and task items in Microsoft Office Outlook.



MORE INFORMATION
Calendar items and task items in Outlook are passed from Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to Forefront Security by using the Microsoft Virus Scanning API (VSAPI). These items are passed at the Mailbox role level either by using proactive scanning events or by using on-access scanning events. Additionally, these items are passed from Exchange Server 2007 to Forefront Security by using a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) event sink. This transfer occurs at the Transport role level.

In the Forefront Security Administrator client, calendar items appear in the Realtime Scan Job\ \Calendar folder, and task items appear in the Realtime Scan Job\ \Tasks folder. Additionally, Forefront Security records detected local calendar items and local task items in the Programlog.txt file. In 32-bit versions of Windows, the path of this file is :\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Security\Exchange Server\Data. (In this path,  is the drive letter of the drive on which Windows is installed.) In 64-bit versions of Windows, the path of this file is  :\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Forefront Security\Exchange Server\Data.

Forefront Security scans calendar items and task items in the following locations:  Real-time scan job level (Exchange Mailbox role level):

Realtime Scan Job\ \Outbox

 Transport scan job level (Exchange Transport role level):

SMTP Messages\Outbound



These items include task requests and outgoing calendar items that use the SMTP protocol.
