Configure the Lotus Notes settings for the on-delivery email scanner.

Lotus Notes password configuration

When accessing a local database on Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, or Windows XP, you are prompted for a password. When you type the password, the text search dialog is initiated and the password is inserted into the text search dialog instead of being inserted into the password dialog. The password dialog box is not completely modal. Selecting the dialog box again allows you to input the password.

McAfee recommends you prevent multiple prompts for passwords as follows:
  1. From Lotus Notes, click File | Preferences | Security | User Security | Dialog.
  2. Click Don't prompt for a password from other Notes-based programs (reduces security).
    CAUTION:
    This configuration potentially reduces your system security.
