36 Installing Symantec Mail Security for SMTP
Installing the Symantec Spam Folder Agent
Installing the Symantec Spam Folder Agent
The Symantec Spam Folder Agent lets you automatically route spam messages
to a spam folder in the recipient's mailbox. The agent creates a subfolder and a
server-side filter in each user's mailbox on a Microsoft Exchange or Lotus
Domino server. This filter is applied to each message that is identified as spam
or suspected spam, and the identified message is routed to a user's spam folder.
If the agent detects that the user's spam folder has been deleted or moved, it
recreates the subfolder.
You can install the Symantec Spam Folder Agent from the Symantec Mail
Security for SMTP CD.
Note: You must install the agent on the server on which Symantec Mail Security
is installed.
