Introducing Symantec Mail Security for SMTP
Components of Symantec Mail Security for SMTP
Description
This is the software that you install to protect network
servers and workstations. It protects computers from
viruses in email attachments, blocks unwanted content,
and prevents spam and spam relaying.
LiveUpdate lets Symantec products download program
and virus definitions files updates directly from
Symantec or from an intranet LiveUpdate server. The
LiveUpdate Administration Utility lets you configure
one or more intranet FTP, HTTP, or LAN servers to act
as internal LiveUpdate servers.
For more information, see the LiveUpdate
Administrator's Guide on the product CD.
You can configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to
automatically forward infected attachments from local
quarantine servers to Symantec Central Quarantine,
which is a central repository for infected attachments.
You can configure Symantec Central Quarantine to
automatically send files that it cannot repair to
Symantec Security Response for analysis and repair.
For more information, see the Symantec Central
Quarantine Administrator's Guide on the product CD.
This version of Java (or a later version) is required for
LiveUpdate and the Symantec Enterprise Security
Architecture (SESA). During installation, Symantec
Mail Security checks for this software and stops the
installation if it is not present.
You install the spam quarantine separately from the
product. The spam quarantine lets users with Web
access browse, search, and delete their spam messages
and deliver misidentified messages to their inboxes. An
administrator account provides access to all quarantine
messages.
