What's new in Symantec Mail Security for SMTP
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP offers enterprises an easy-to-deploy,
comprehensive gateway-based email security solution through the following:
Antispam technology – Symantec's state-of-the-art antispam filters assess
■
and classify email as it enters your site.
Email Firewall – This early response feature can vastly improve message
■
throughput by analyzing incoming SMTP connections and enabling you to
refuse connections or email messages from hosts it perceives to be hostile.
Antivirus technology – Antivirus definitions and engines protect your
■
users from email-borne viruses.
Content Compliance – These features help administrators enforce corporate
■
email policies, reduce legal liability, and ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements.
Group policies and filter policies – An easy-to-use authoring tool lets
■
administrators create powerful and flexible ad hoc filters for individuals and
groups.
All users will find significant new features in this release of Symantec Mail
Security for SMTP. You will also find familiar features, in many cases improved
and expanded. In some cases the names of features are the same; in some cases
the names have changed, and the changes are noted in this chapter.
Note: By default, inbound and outbound messages containing a virus or mass-
mailing worm, and unscannable messages, including malformed MIME
messages, will be deleted. You may want to change the default setting for
unscannable messages if you are concerned about losing important messages.
