What is the "Auto added firewall policy for MTA"?

ShunzeLee

Dear Sir,

After switch email protect to MTA mode, 
the XG create the "Auto added firewall policy for MTA" automatically.



But the KB mentions as following,
No firewall rule/business application rule is needed to allow inbound emails in MTA mode
No firewall rule/business application rule is needed to allow the outbound emails in MTA mode.

https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/125596

Since no firewall rule/business application rule is needed, why XG create the rule automatically?

What is the rule used for?

Thanks~

    Hi Shunzee,

    I think, Technical Writer wanted to convey that no firewall rule is needed to be manually defined as automatic rules will be created by XG. I will get it corrected.

    Where is the rule used? As you can see it is a business rule with SMTP scanning, it clearly defines the purpose of the rule.

    Thanks
