12 About Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Functional overview Functional overview You can deploy Symantec Mail Security for SMTP in different configurations to best suit the size of your network and your email processing needs. Each Symantec Mail Security for SMTP host can be deployed in the following ways: ■ Scanner - Deployed as a Scanner, a Symantec Mail Security for SMTP host filters email. Your installation can have one or many Scanners. Symantec Mail Security for SMTP runs alongside your existing email or groupware server(s). ■ Control Center - Deployed as a Control Center, a Symantec Mail Security for SMTP host is a Web-based configuration and administration center. Use it to configure and manage email filtering, SMTP routing, system settings, and all other functions. Your enterprise-wide deployment of Symantec Mail Security for SMTP can have multiple Scanners but only one Control Center, from which you configure and monitor all the Scanner hosts. The Control Center provides status for all Symantec Mail Security for SMTP hosts in your system, system logs, and extensive customizable reporting. Use it to configure both system-wide and host-specific details. The Control Center provides the Setup Wizard, for initial configuration of all Symantec Mail Security for SMTP instances at your site, and also the Add Scanner Wizard, for adding new Scanners. It also hosts the Spam and Suspect Virus Quarantines, for storage of spam and virus messages respectively. End users can access the Control Center to view their quarantined spam messages and set their preferences for language filtering and blocked and allowed senders. Alternatively, you can configure the Spam Quarantine for administrator-only access. ■ Scanner and Control Center - A single Symantec Mail Security for SMTP host performs both functions. Note: Symantec Mail Security for SMTP provides neither mailbox access for end users nor message storage; it is not intended for use as the only MTA in your email infrastructure. Note: Symantec Mail Security for SMTP does not filter messages that don't flow through the SMTP gateway. For example, when two mailboxes reside on the same MS Exchange Server, or on different MS Exchange Servers within an Exchange organization, the messages will not pass through the Symantec Mail Security for SMTP filters.
