Messaging Gateway

Dear Symantech users.


I want to know following things in Symantech Brightmail Gateway version 8.0.3.

In our organization Symantech brightmail gateway is used only for Inbound mail filtering.Now we want to to configure outbound also.

What are the precation I need to take before configuring outbound.

If I configured outbound ,all inbound policy also apply  automatic to outbound.

Is it affect our current setup.

Also our ogranizarion need to configure default siganture for all outgoing mails.How can do it in symantech side.

Any help is highly apprecited.

Inbound and outbound filters can be specified as such when setting up the compliance policy.

Please read page 48 in the Admin Guide for more information on outbound filtering:

sbg_administration_guide.pdf

Here is a document on how to add a signature to all outgoing emails. The document refenced version 7.6, but it is the same for 8.

Hi Ashraf,

JDavis has provided the excellent resources that you should look at before configuring outbound filtering, but I would like to highlight a couple of things:

a) If a policy was created as applying to both "Inbound and Outbound", then if you enable outbound, generally it will apply to outbound as well.  But if a policy was created as "Inbound Only", then it will not apply to outbound if you enable outbound filtering.  For such a policy to apply to outbound, you will have to create a new policy specifying that it applies to outbound.

b) You can ensure which policies are applying to inbound or outbound by checking each tab (like Virus, Spam, Compliance) on Group Settings page (Administration > Groups > Default ) for each of the policy groups you have (by default there is only one group called "Default").

Regards,

Adnan

Dear Users

Our Scenario

We have 2 SBG

One is scanner and control centre and other is only scanner.

Curruntly we are using inbound mail filtering and it is working without any issue.

Now we have configured inbound and outbound filtering.

we have configured one domain for inbound and another domain for outbound using 2 IPs.
We have mapped this outbound domain with external DNS.
then when we send mail using this outboutbond MTA (using SMTP commands as shown below) (SBG outbound domain) mail not send and we got following error from "Mail Delivery System(Mailer-Daemon@antispam.kfupm.edu.sa)"

Hi Ashraf,

Did any of the responses provided address your original question?  If so can you please close this thread by marking that response as the Solution?

Let's deal with the outbound mail delivery issue separately in another thread that you have already opened.

Thanks
