Inbound-Outbound

example.gif Anti-spam and content filter rules can be applied to inbound and/or outbound SMTP traffic.

postit.gif For inbound message checking to occur, you must have Enable Virus Scanning in the InterScan SMTP Configuration page "turned on." For outbound message checking to occur, you must have Enable outbound mail processing "turned on" in the Outbound SMTP Mail Processing page.

If these values are not checked, InterScan will not prepare SMTP traffic for evaluation by the spam filter.

Inbound messages are typically evaluated on the basis of spam rules (checks only the message header information). Outbound messages are evaluated for sensitive or inappropriate material on the basis of message content. They can also be employed to filter spam on the basis of content .
