Note In legacy mode, XG Firewall acts as a transparent mail proxy.
XG Firewall applies the following default policies automatically when you subscribe to the email protection module:
  • SMTP malware scan policy (default-smtp-av) to SMTP traffic.

  • POP-IMAP scan policy (default-pop-av) to POP3/S and IMAP/S traffic. It strips virus-infected attachments from emails and replaces the email body with a notification message.
