Configuring E-mail Protection

The STM lets you configure the following settings to protect the network's e-mail communication:
• The e-mail protocols that will be scanned for malware.
• Actions that will be taken when infected e-mails are detected.
• The maximum file sizes that will be scanned.
• Keywords, file types, and file names in e-mails that will be filtered to block objectionable or
high-risk content.
• Customer notifications and e-mail alerts that will be sent when events are detected.
• Rules and policies for spam detection.

Customizing E-mail Protocol Scan Settings

If you have used the Setup Wizard, you might have already configured the e-mail policies; the
(e-mail) Policy screen allows you to modify these settings.
To configure the e-mail protocols and ports to scan:
1. Select Email Security > Policy from the menu. The (e-mail) Policy screen displays.
