Introducing Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 15 Components of Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Components of Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Symantec Mail Security for SMTP consists of several components that work together to protect your network. Table 1-2 describes each component. Table 1-2 Symantec Mail Security for SMTP components Component Description Symantec Mail Security for SMTP This is the software that you install to protect network servers and workstations. It protects computers from viruses in email attachments, blocks unwanted content, and prevents spam and spam relaying. LiveUpdate™ Administration Utility LiveUpdate lets Symantec products download program and virus definitions files updates directly from Symantec or from an intranet LiveUpdate server. The LiveUpdate Administration Utility lets you configure one or more intranet FTP, HTTP, or LAN servers to act as internal LiveUpdate servers. For more information, see the LiveUpdate Administrator's Guide on the product CD. Symantec Central Quarantine You can configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to automatically forward infected attachments from local quarantine servers to Symantec Central Quarantine, which is a central repository for infected attachments. You can configure Symantec Central Quarantine to automatically send files that it cannot repair to Symantec Security Response for analysis and repair. For more information, see the Symantec Central Quarantine Administrator's Guide on the product CD. Java 1.3.1 This version of Java (or a later version) is required for LiveUpdate and the Symantec Enterprise Security Architecture (SESA). During installation, Symantec Mail Security checks for this software and stops the installation if it is not present. Spam quarantine You install the spam quarantine separately from the product. The spam quarantine lets users with Web access browse, search, and delete their spam messages and deliver misidentified messages to their inboxes. An administrator account provides access to all quarantine messages.
