About email filtering and message handling options
While the names of features are largely the same, you will find some changes to
the organization of menus. Most importantly, you will now find a Policies menu
at the top level, breaking out Group Policies (under the Settings menu in
Symantec Brightmail Antispam 6.0.3), and including other items as well. See
“About email filtering and message handling options” on page 206 for an
updated explanation of how settings and policies interact.
About email filtering and message handling options
In Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 5.0, there are five types of choices you can
make about filtering options. These choices provide much greater flexibility,
and it is important to understand how your choices for various options interact
with each other, as follows:
■
Email Scanning Settings: Settings determine system-wide policies for
handling email. These include:
■
Address Masquerading
■
Aliases
■
Spam Settings
■
Virus Settings
■
Invalid Recipients
■
Local Domains
■
Scanning (including Container Limits)
■
Filter Policies: Specific sets of conditions that identify categories of email,
and specific sets of actions to take on those messages. You can specify
multiple filter policies for the same email categories, and then use different
filter policies for different groups of users. Filter policies include:
■
Spam policies
■
Virus policies
