Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

The following examples of creating a public and private listener apply to X1050/1060/1070, 
C650/660/670, and C350/360/370 customers only. Cisco IronPort C150/160 customers should skip to 
the next section 

. 

In this example portion of the 

systemsetup

 command, a public listener named InboundMail is 

configured to run on the PublicNet IP interface. Then, it is configured to accept all email for the domain 

example.com

. An initial SMTP route to the mail exchange 

exchange.example.com

 is configured. Rate 

limiting is enabled, and the maximum value of 4500 recipients per hour from a single host is specified 
for the public listener. 

The value you enter for maximum recipients per hour you are willing to receive from a remote host is a 
completely arbitrary value, one that is usually relative to the size of the enterprise for which you are 
administering email. For example, a sender who sends 200 messages in an hour might be considered a 
“spammer” (sender of unsolicited bulk email), but if you are configuring the Cisco IronPort appliance 
to handle all email for a 10,000 person company, 200 messages per hour from a remote host may be a 
reasonable value. Conversely, in a 50-person company, someone sending 200 messages in an hour to you 
may be an obvious spammer. You must choose an appropriate value when you enable rate-limiting on a 
public listener (throttle) inbound email for your enterprise. For more information on Default Host Access 
policies, see 

The default host access policy for the listener is then accepted.

You are now going to configure how the IronPort C60 accepts mail by 

creating a "Listener".

Please create a name for this listener (Ex: "InboundMail"):

[]> InboundMail

Please choose an IP interface for this Listener.

1. Management (192.168.42.42/24: mail3.example.com)

2. PrivateNet (192.168.1.1/24: mail3.example.com)

3. PublicNet (192.168.2.1/24: mail3.example.com)

[1]> 3

Enter the domains or specific addresses you want to accept mail for.

Hostnames such as "example.com" are allowed.
