Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

The Anti-Spam feature involves IronPort Anti-Spam scanning. Anti-spam 
scanning offers complete, Internet-wide, server-side anti-spam protection. It 
actively identifies and defuses spam attacks before they inconvenience your users 
and overwhelm or damage your network, allowing you to remove unwanted mail 
before it reaches your users’ inboxes, without violating their privacy.

Anti-spam scanning can be configured to deliver mail to the IronPort Spam 
Quarantine (either on- or off-box). Messages released from the IronPort Spam 
Quarantine proceed directly to the destination queue, skipping any further work 
queue processing in the email pipeline.

Your Cisco IronPort appliance includes integrated virus scanning engines. You 
can configure the appliance to scan messages and attachments for viruses on a 
per-“mail policy” basis. You can configure the appliance to do the following 
when a virus is found:

attempt to repair the attachment

drop the attachment

modify the subject header

add an additional X- header

send the message to a different address or mailhost

archive the message

delete the message

Messages released from quarantines (see 

) are scanned for 

viruses. See 

 for more information about Anti-Virus 

scanning.

You can create content filters to be applied to messages on a per-recipient or 
per-sender basis. Content filters are similar to message filters, except that they are 
applied later in the email pipeline — after a message has been “splintered” into a
