Once the installation routine is commenced the operator is given the choice of setting the station type, either Master or Slave, and then selecting the type of scanning required by the application, either HTTP/FTP, or SMTP, or both.
Naturally, while this application has the added feature of being able to act as a content filter as well as a SMTP filter we chose SMTP as this is a anti-spam review not a content filter review.
Once a few more quick wizards are gone through the application is installed and ready to go. Overall the installation and base configuration is very straightforward.
Interestingly, this application is designed to run in a distributed environment and can report back to a central machine which would gather information from a number of installed nodes on the network, making it a boon for those with plenty of remote offices.
Likewise the quarantine manager can be centralised on a separate system making the mail administrators role easier too.
Overall a neat application definitely suited to remote/distributed environments. Again CA have used a familiar interface and adopted a very straight forward approach.
