Overview

Solution

You can configure the product to send alerts to the administrator by
e-mail. F-Secure Management Agent that handles the alerting uses a
simple SMTP protocol (without authentication and encryption) to send
alerts to the specified e-mail address.
The product can send e-mail based reports to F-Secure World Map
system. These reports are sent using the simple SMTP protocol with an
empty address ("<>") as the source.
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and 2010, the message relaying is
tightly restricted, even on servers that are not connected to the Internet.
By default, only e-mail messages that come from authenticated or
allowed sources can be relayed.
This means that the product cannot send SMTP alerts and reports unless
some changes are done in the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and 2010
configurations. These changes can be done before or after the product
has been deployed.
In order to make F-Secure alerts and reports relayed through Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007 or 2010, you need to create a special receive
connector configure it to allow anonymous, non-authenticated
submissions. This connector has to be created on Exchange Edge and/or
Hub server(s) that are specified as the SMTP server where the product
sends alerts and reports to.
