SMTP Scanner settings
A full complement of SMTP settings has been provided to help you define
internal and external SMTP configurations for Scanners. Inbound SMTP
settings determine how the inbound MTA processes inbound messages.
Outbound SMTP settings determine how the outbound MTA processes outbound
messages. If you set up inbound or outbound SMTP filtering rather than using
Content Compliance filters, you can save resources because messages that do
not meet the SMTP criteria will be rejected before content filtering begins.
