Getting Started Guide

This 

Getting Started Guide

 contains installation procedures and configuration guidelines 

for deploying a SonicWALL Email Security appliance on your network.

SonicWALL Email Security provides effective, high-performance and easy-to-use 
inbound and outbound email threat protection. Ideal for the small to medium size 
business, this self-running, self-updating solution delivers powerful protection against 
spam, virus and phishing attacks in addition to preventing leaks of confidential 
information. Combining anti-spam, anti-phishing, content filtering, policy management 
and content compliance capabilities in a single seamlessly integrated solution, 
SonicWALL Email Security solutions provide powerful protection without complexity. 

Note:

SonicWALL TotalSecure Email provides complete protection from spam, virus 

attacks and phishing. Without TotalSecure Email, to use the spam and phishing 
protection provided by the SonicWALL Email Security appliance, you must have a 
subscription to SonicWALL Email Protection and Dynamic Support. If you need to 
purchase a subscription, contact your SonicWALL vendor. 

Please read this entire Getting Started Guide 

before setting up your 

SonicWALL Email Security 200, SonicWALL Email Security 300, 
SonicWALL Email Security 400, SonicWALL Email Security 500, or 
SonicWALL Email Security 6000 appliance.
