Ironport Management appliance and smtp routes

[ramikamel911]

Hi Guys,

I'm configuring M170 management appliance for two mail security Ironports (for centralized quarantine).

while going through the configuration, i have found that there is SMTP route can be configured, why do i need to configure SMTP route under the management appliance?

As i know it should be confgured on the Ironport email security appliances, but why on management? Do i need it?

Thanks & Regards,

Rami

The SMTP route tells the appliance which SMTP severs it can use to send outgoing alerts, reports,etc. If not configured, the server will use a regular DNS lookup to find the appropriate mail server to send the emails to.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, just want to confirm, this is will be used even for end users Quarantine notification, correct?

I mean that Management appliance will send quarantine notifications to end users by using this smtp route, am i right?
