1. Overview
McAfee
®
Saas Email Protection provides security services that safeguard corporations
from unsolicited spam email (junk mail), viruses, worms, and unwanted content at the
network perimeter before they can enter the internal network.
Multiple layers of McAfee Saas Email Protection provide secure and complete email
filtering to protect your users. You can enable or disable specific layers by changing the
licensed packages of features and/or through configuring the specific email policies in the
Control Console, the comprehensive graphical interface into McAfee Saas Email
Protection.
This document describes the tasks necessary to configure and maintain your McAfee Saas
Email Protection.
Differences in Administration for
Service Providers
This document is for use by Enterprise customers only.
Service Provider customers do not
administer groups for Email Protection and therefore, do not assign groups to email
filtering policies. Instead, Service Provider customers assign policies directly to domains.
The capabilities for managing policies and groups, as described in this document, apply
only to Enterprise customers.
Account Management Necessary for
Email Protection
Account Management is a set of administrative windows you use to configure and manage
the entities that use or are affected by Email Protection (Email Protection), as well as the
Web Protection Service (WDS) and Message Archiving products. These entities include:
•
Domains
•
Users
•
Other administrators, including other Customer Administrators, Domain
Administrators, Quarantine Managers, and Reports Managers
In addition, for Email Protection only, you use Account Management to administer groups
of users that share a common email filtering policy.
