Description
Multiple administrator roles with view only or modify access to different
portions of the management interface.
Group Policies introduce expanded flexibility in mail filtering and message
handling. Group Policies enable you to specify groups of users, based on email
addresses, domains, or IP addresses, and customize mail filtering for each
group. See the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Administration Guide for more
information.
In addition, if you were using Version 4.1 without Premium AntiSpam, Version
5.0, with or without Premium AntiSpam provides much more extensive
capabilities for customizing both message filtering and the actions taken on
filtered messages.
