Auto-creation of Users

MX Record Validation

You can validate that the MX Records that are configured for your domain are properly
redirected by entering the specific DNS and/or IP address for your MTA server. The
Control Console displays the MX Record configuration as reported by the authoritative
DNS server.

Check Your MX Record

Alias Domain Names

You can configure alias domain names that act as virtual domains using the configurations
and email addresses defined in the primary Domain name. Email addresses are created
automatically for alias domains (for example, jsmith@yourcompanyalias.com is
automatically created for jsmith@yourcompany.com), allowing the single user to receive
email for both addresses.
For more information, see Account Management Administrator Guide.
Auto-creation of Users
The Email Protection automatically creates new user accounts if all the following is true:
• SMTP Discovery is enabled. SMTP Discovery, which is enabled by default, is a
convenient way to add users to your service. However, this capability might also add
users who are not real users at your company and not add users who are real.
• SMTP discovery creates users that receive eight valid emails within a 24 hour period.
• A user account does not exist for the email address in the designated Domain.
• The emails were not addressed to an alias domain name.

Email Filtering Policies

Email Protection has default inbound and outbound mail filters to block and clean
malicious email and to quarantine email that might be malicious. The filters are
configured by using policies, which are the parameters for the filters default policies are
automatically assigned to each of your domains.
You can customize the default inbound policy for any and each domain, or any and each
group, to fit your business Email Protection.
