using a 5xx SMTP response code to tell the sending MTA that the message is not
accepted.

on messages in the Spam Quarantine database. Releasing removes the message
from the Spam Quarantine database and returns the message to the end user's
inbox. See also Spam Quarantine.

the Control Center to Scanners.

(sometimes the data) that is collected. This output can be in static or customized

achieve interoperability and connectivity.
Safe Senders
A list of IP addresses from which no outgoing email is spam, provided by Symantec
based on data from the Probe Network. Part of the Sender Reputation Service,
Safe Senders is a sender group in Symantec Mail Security. You can specify actions
to take on messages from each sender group.
Scanner
The component in Symantec Mail Security that filters mail. Each site can have
one or many Scanners. The configuration of each Scanner is managed via the
Control Center.
security
The policies, practices, and procedures that are applied to information systems
to ensure that the data and information that is held within or communicated along
those systems is not vulnerable to inappropriate or unauthorized use, access, or
modification and that the networks that are used to store, process, or transmit
information are kept operational and secure against unauthorized access. As the
Internet becomes a more fundamental part of doing business, computer and
information security are assuming more importance in corporate planning and
policy.
sender group
A category of email senders that Symantec Mail Security manages using the Email
Firewall feature. Sender groups can be based upon IP addresses, domains, third
party lists, or Symantec lists. You can configure the Email Firewall to take a variety
of actions on messages from each group.
Sender ID
A set of standard practices for authenticating email. If the sender's domain owner
participates in Sender ID, the recipient MTA can check for forged return addresses.
