All Spam verdicts share the same available actions.
■
All Content Compliance verdicts share the same available actions.
■
Messages from senders in the Allowed Senders Lists are always delivered
directly to end-user mailboxes, bypassing spam filtering.
■
When using the Modify the subject action, you can specify the character set
encoding to use. If the encoding you choose is different than the encoding
used by the original message, either the message or the modified subject
line will not be displayed correctly.
■
When using the Save to disk action on Solaris or Linux, you must specify a
writeable directory.
■
By default, inbound and outbound messages containing a virus or mass-
mailing worm, and unscannable messages, including malformed MIME
messages, will be deleted. You may want to change the default setting for
unscannable messages if you are concerned about losing important
messages. See the
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP Administration Guide
for more information.
Deployment considerations
The following table lists deployment considerations for select actions.

Deployment considerations
Action
Consideration
Clean the message
If many messages need to be cleaned, there may be high demand on the system.
Delete the message
This eliminates the need for spam storage, though users cannot check for
misidentified messages. When you’re comfortable with your system’s low false
positive rate, you may want to configure spam to be deleted.
Deliver message normally
This setting is useful for testing. Spam and suspected spam are still counted as
such in message statistics for reports.
Deliver the message to
recipient's Spam folder
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP supports the Symantec Spam Folder Agent for
Exchange using X-header markup for Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000
internal messaging systems. The Symantec Spam Folder Agent for Exchange may
also be run on an Exchange 2003 host. Note that Exchange 2000 and Lotus Domino
configurations require installation of lightweight agents to folder spam.
Modify the message
A modified message will be delivered to end-user mailboxes, unless it contains a
virus or worm.
