Setting mail filtering policies
When you set up Symantec Mail Security, a set of ready-made default message
filtering policies are in place. You can use these policies or customize them.
The initial default policies are as follows:
■
The default group policy includes all users, and specifies use of default filtering
policies for spam, suspected spam, virus, content compliance, and end user
settings.
■
The default spam policy is to modify the subject line by prepending [Spam]
and deliver the message to the inbox.
■
The default suspected spam policy is to modify the subject line by prepending
[Suspected Spam] and deliver the message to the inbox.
■
The suspected spam threshold is set to 72 (see the Symantec Mail Security
Appliance Administration Guide for more information).
■
The default virus policy is to clean the message.
■
The default worm policy is to delete the message.
■
No default content compliance policies are in place.
■
No end user configuration capabilities are in place.
For more information on these policies and instructions on adjusting them to
meet your needs, see the Symantec Mail Security Appliance Administration Guide.
