THE SYSTEM SETTINGS TAB
This chapter explains how to use the System Settings tab to:
• Configure the transport of e-mails.
• Authenticate the senders and recipients of e-mails.
TERMINOLOGY USED
The following terminology is used in this chapter:
• PEM – Personal E-mail Manager. Enables users to manage their own isolated messages.
• User Directories – Provides RiskFilter with recipient address validation and end-user authentication.
• ESMTP – Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Enhances SMTP by specifying extensions for
sending e-mail to support graphics, audio and video files. It also enables SMTP to support the sending
of text in various national languages.
• CSR – Certificate Signing Request. Contains the public key information which matches the private key
installed on RiskFilter and enables you to import a new certificate. When the CSR is exported to the
same directory as the new certificate, the certificate will pick up this information so that RiskFilter can
recognize it.
• AVA – Anti-Virus Agent
• ASA – Anti-Spam Agent
WHAT CAN BE CONFIGURED IN THE SYSTEM SETTINGS TAB?
The System Settings tab is where you configure the receiving and delivery of messages to and from the
