Installing Brightmail Scanner for Windows • The Brightmail Client requires Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and the Windows SMTP service. • Open port 443 on your firewall for HTTPS communication. For registration and ongoing operations, Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam communicates with the BLOC over a secure connection. Consequently, TCP port 443 must be configured to allow outbound connections. • Administrator privileges on the local computer. NOTE: Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam's ability to identify spam accurately depends on having access to messages in their original form. Software and hardware which modify message headers and/or the content or structure of message bodies may undermine Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam's effectiveness.
