Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C680 User Guide

After you accept the agreement, the anti-virus scanning engine you selected is 
enabled on the incoming mail policy. The IronPort appliance scans incoming mail 
for viruses, but it does not repair infected attachments. The appliance drops 
infected messages.

See 

 for the anti-virus configuration options available on 

the appliance. 

This next step prompts you to enable both SenderBase participation and Virus 
Outbreak Filters. Your IronPort appliance ships with a 30-day evaluation key for 
Virus Outbreak Filters.

Virus Outbreak Filters provide a “first line of defense” against new virus 
outbreaks by quarantining suspicious messages until traditional Anti-Virus 
security services can be updated with a new virus signature file. If enabled, Virus 
Outbreak Filters will be enabled on the default Incoming Mail Policy. 

If you choose to enable Virus Outbreak Filters, enter a threshold value and 
whether you would like to receive Virus Outbreak Filters alerts. For more 
information about Virus Outbreak Filters and threshold values, see 

SenderBase is an email reputation service designed to help email administrators 
research senders, identify legitimate sources of email, and block spammers.

If you agree to participate in the SenderBase Email Traffic Monitoring Network, 
IronPort will collect aggregated statistics about email sent to your organization. 
This includes summary data on message attributes and information on how 
different types of messages were handled by IronPort appliances.
