About Symantec Mail Security 13 Architecture Control Center Deployed as a Control Center, a Symantec Mail Security host allows you to configure and manage email filtering, SMTP routing, system settings, and all other functions from a Web-based interface. Multiple Scanners can be configured and monitored from your enterprise-wide deployment of Symantec Mail Security, but only one Control Center can be deployed to administer all the Scanner hosts. The Control Center provides information on the status of all Symantec Mail Security hosts in your system, including system logs and extensive customizable reports. Use the Control Center to configure both system-wide and host-specific details. The Control Center provides the Setup Wizard, for initial configuration of all Symantec Mail Security instances at your site, and also the Add Scanner Wizard, for adding new Scanners. The Control Centrer also hosts the Spam and Suspect Virus Quarantines to isolate and store spam and virus messages, respectively. End users can view their quarantined spam messages and set their preferences for language filtering and blocked and allowed senders. Alternatively, you can configure Spam Quarantine for administrator-only access. Scanner and Control A single Symantec Mail Security host performs both functions. Center Note: Symantec Mail Security does not filter messages that do not 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, their messages will not pass through the Symantec Mail Security filters. Architecture Figure 1-1 shows how a Symantec Mail Security installation processes an email message, assuming the sample message passes through the Filtering Engine to the Transformation Engine without being rejected.

Deployed as a Control Center, a Symantec Mail Security host allows
you to configure and manage email filtering, SMTP routing, system
settings, and all other functions from a Web-based interface.
Multiple Scanners can be configured and monitored from your
enterprise-wide deployment of Symantec Mail Security, but only
one Control Center can be deployed to administer all the Scanner
hosts.
The Control Center provides information on the status of all
Symantec Mail Security hosts in your system, including system
logs and extensive customizable reports. Use the Control Center
to configure both system-wide and host-specific details.
The Control Center provides the Setup Wizard, for initial
configuration of all Symantec Mail Security instances at your site,
and also the Add Scanner Wizard, for adding new Scanners.
The Control Centrer also hosts the Spam and Suspect Virus
Quarantines to isolate and store spam and virus messages,
respectively. End users can view their quarantined spam messages
and set their preferences for language filtering and blocked and
allowed senders. Alternatively, you can configure Spam Quarantine
for administrator-only access.

Symantec Mail Security does not filter messages that do not flow through

Exchange Server, or on different MS Exchange Servers within an Exchange
organization, their messages will not pass through the Symantec Mail Security
filters.
