General deployment considerations

This section provides information about integrating Symantec Mail Security for
SMTP into your network.

MTA usage

Symantec Mail Security for SMTP contains a Message Transfer Agent (MTA),
which processes and relays messages to support filtering activities.
Note: Symantec Mail Security for SMTP provides neither mailbox access for end
users nor message storage; it is not suitable for use as the only MTA in your
email infrastructure.

Configuring Scanners

During installation, you can use a wizard to add a Scanner. Depending on your
filtering requirements and messaging environment, you may want to deploy
multiple Scanners and administer them via a single Control Center. In such
cases, you can dedicate Scanners to specific functions. For example, you might
want one Scanner to filter inbound mail and another to filter outbound mail.
