2.3 Post-Installation Tasks

Once Secure Messaging Gateway is installed, there are some post-install tasks that need to be completed to fully set up the system.

  1. Adding the domain.

  2. Create a policy.

  3. Set up a digest.

  4. Set Secure Messaging Gateway as the outbound SMTP server.

  5. Add the new Secure Messaging Gateway server as a trusted relay.

2.3.1 On the Secure Messaging Gateway server

  1. Set up your domain under Organization/Policy Management | Domain Management.

    1. Press “Add new” and name it after the fully qualified domain name of your email server.

    2. Under SMTP Hosts enter the Target host of your email server.

    3. Setup User Quarantine Self-Provisioning so that users can manage their own quarantine.

      1. Select Enable user auto-provisioning

      2. Enable the Auto-provision roles QMS User

      3. If using GroupWise, enable auto Authentication so users can login into the QMS to manage their quarantines

      4. If using LDAP authentication, enter the LDAP target host, set the Scope to sub tree, and enter the DN template/DN search base, for example, DN=company,DC=com

  2. Create a Policy:

    Create at least one policy Policy Management with Block and Quarantine Services under Organization/Policy Management > Policy Management. The wizard can create a default that will handle most cases.

  3. Set up Digest:

    1. Log out of the System Administration console and log into the QMS console as admin.

    2. Select the Digest tab and under the Settings sub tab, confirm that Enable global digest services is enabled.

    3. Under the Schedule sub tab select a day or time for the digests to be sent to users when the user has one or more quarantined messages. Quarantined messages will be removed after 30 days by default. Click on the Time row to select the entire row, click on the Day column to select an entire day, or the top corner for all.

Additional setup may be required depending on the interface(s) installed. For example, an SMTP banner is recommended.

2.3.2 On the Email Server

  1. In the email server set outbound messages to go to GWAVA/Secure Messaging Gateway.

    • GroupWise:

      On the GroupWise Administration > Internet Agents > SMTP/MIME > Settings page, set the Relay Host for outbound messages to the GWAVA/Secure Messaging Gateway server and set the Intervals to retry a deferred message to 5,5,10,20,60.

    • Exchange:

      In Exchange Admin Center > Mail flow > Send connectors set the send connector to route to the GWAVA/Secure Messaging Gateway server.

  2. A new SMTP IP address won't be trusted. Add to trusted relays under SMTP Interface > Relay/Host Protection > Allowed relay sources SMTP Interface.
