Deployment
You can deploy the EX 8600 in your network in one of the following ways:
•
Message Transfer Agent Deployment Page 8
•
•
Message Transfer Agent Deployment
When the EX 8600 is in Message Transfer Agent deployment, it serves as an MTA inline
with the email traffic flow and can be configured to Block Analysis Mode or Monitor Analysis
Mode. In Block Analysis Mode (the default), the EX 8600 will prevent malicious emails from
passing through to the mail server. In Monitor Analysis Mode, all email is passed through to
the mail server and only copies of the email are analyzed.
The diagram below illustrates the MTA deployment of an EX 8600 in a typical network
environment.
NOTE
For information about configuring the EX 8600 for MTA deployment mode,
see the
Email Security System Administration Guide
for your release.
