8 Using Email Server Protection Email server protection supplements the email scans performed on client computers by intercepting threats at the email server. This chapter contains information on installing and using email server protection for Microsoft Exchange servers with Total Protection Service. Email server protection is installed on email servers running Microsoft Exchange Server version 2003 or 2007 to protect them from viruses, spam, unwanted content, potentially unwanted programs, and banned file types or messages. Total Protection Service allows you to view summary information about email server detections in the SecurityCenter. You can also click links in the SecurityCenter to access the management console on the email server, where you can configure policy settings and manage email server protection. (The software must be installed with default options, which include a web-based user interface, to access the console from the SecurityCenter.)
