XG Email Walkthrough

briesa0

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can walk me through setting up my XG106 Email Protection.

I currently have most of my emails from my ISP and 1 outlook email and 1 Gmail account, but most will go through my Office 365 Outlook App via OSX.

Cheers Grinning

    Hello Briesa0,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    The Email Protection is to be configured when you have your own or a 3rd party MTA server, however, it won't work if you have a regular gmail account, or a regular outlook or office account.

    If you have your own MTA server or have your own Domain hosted on O365 then you can follow this KB.

    Is scanning the various incoming server traffic like SMTP pop3, ECT good enough to prevent viruses/malware?, I'd need another product that can handle spam/phishing??

    Hello Briesa0,

    Thank you for the follow-up!

    It is good to scan SMTP and POP but this will not protect you 100%, you would need additional protection, for example, use our Endpoint AV, as per the SPAM/Phishing, you would need to have your own MTA server as the email needs to be read and examined by the MTA Server and then send to the user, basically, this is what the XG MTA Protection does, it intercepts the emails going to your MTA, check for virus/malware/spam/phishing and then send it to your MTA for distribution to users email boxes.
