2 Chapter Planning your deployment This chapter includes the following topics: ■ General deployment considerations ■ Deployment models General deployment considerations This section provides information about integrating Symantec Mail Security for SMTP into your network. MTA usage Symantec Mail Security for SMTP contains a Message Transfer Agent (MTA), which processes and relays messages to support filtering activities. Note: Symantec Mail Security for SMTP provides neither mailbox access for end users nor message storage; it is not suitable for use as the only MTA in your email infrastructure. Configuring Scanners During installation, you can use a wizard to add a Scanner. Depending on your filtering requirements and messaging environment, you may want to deploy multiple Scanners and administer them via a single Control Center. In such cases, you can dedicate Scanners to specific functions. For example, you might want one Scanner to filter inbound mail and another to filter outbound mail.
