Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Overview

Welcome to Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam™, Symantec’s industry-leading message

filtering system. Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam offers complete, Internet-wide, server-

side antispam and antivirus protection. It actively seeks out, identifies, analyzes, and

ultimately defuses spam and virus attacks before they inconvenience your users and

overwhelm or damage your networks. Symantec software allows you to remove unwanted

mail before it reaches your users’ inboxes, without violating their privacy.

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam software filters email in four ways:

•AntiSpam Filters use our state-of-the-art technologies and strategies to filter and

classify email as it enters your site.

•AntiVirus Filters combine Symantec processing technology with Symantec AntiVirus

definitions and engines to clean viruses from your email.

•Content Filters supplement AntiSpam Filters; you can tailor them specifically to the

needs of your organization.

•The Allowed Senders List and the Blocked Senders List filter messages based on the

sender. You can create your own lists and subscribe to third-party lists. Symantec

Brightmail AntiSpam includes the Brightmail Reputation Service, which consists of

our Open Proxy List, Safe List and Suspect List. These features filter messages based

on extensive research to ascertain the reputation of the originating IP address, as a

source of spam or of legitimate email.

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Overview

What’s New in Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Version 6.0 provides the following enhancements over

previous releases:

Table 1. Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Version 6.0 Enhancements

Feature Description

Brightmail

Control Center The Brightmail Control Center (Control Center) is a Web-based cross-platform

configuration and administration center built in Java. Each Symantec Brightmail

AntiSpam installation has one Control Center, which also houses Brightmail Quarantine

and supporting software. You can configure and monitor all of your Brightmail Scanners

from the Control Center.

The Control Center replaces the Brightmail configuration file, the Configurator and the

Brightmail Administration Console. These components are no longer included in

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam.

Brightmail

Scanner Brightmail Scanners perform email filtering. Your Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam

installation can have one or many Brightmail Scanners. Each Brightmail Scanner

includes one or both of the following components: Brightmail Server, Brightmail Client.

Multiple-Machine

Management You can now configure and manage multiple Brightmail Scanners from one Brightmail

Control Center. Previously each computer filtering email had to be configured

individually.

Group Policies You can now specify an unlimited number of user groups, identified by email addresses

or domain names, and customize mail filtering for each group.

Improved

Filtering Numerous improvements have been made to Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam's filtering

technologies, including enhanced effectiveness for URL Filters and Heuristic Filters;

filtering on mailto: links in messages; improved filtering on MIME headers; and the next

generation of Signature Filters, which target comparisons to specific message

components with surgical precision.

Brightmail

Reputation

Service

The Brightmail Reputation Service provides comprehensive reputation tracking that

enhances the power of Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam. Symantec manages three lists

as part of the Brightmail Reputation Service. Each list operates automatically and filters

your messages using the same technology as Symantec’s other filters. The Brightmail

Reputation Service includes the Open Proxy List, the Safe List and the Suspect List.

Improved

Reporting For added convenience and clarity, pre-set reports are now separated into two groups:

antispam reports and antivirus reports. You can choose from a selection of reports; each

report can be customized to include specific date ranges, time period groupings, and

various delivery and output options. For some reports, you can filter based on specific

recipients and senders of interest.

Language

Identification Users of the Brightmail Plug-in for Outlook can choose from a list of languages in which

they would like to receive messages. Messages identified as written in a language not

on the user’s list will be filtered as spam.

Quarantine

Management

and End User

Improvements

Brightmail Quarantine is now managed via the Brightmail Control Center. You can now

set messages to be deleted based on the total size of the Quarantine database or

based on each user’s storage usage. When users receive digest notifications from

Brightmail Quarantine, they can now click on a View link to view an individual message,

or click on a Release link to release a message back to the inbox.

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Overview

Installation Guide 3

Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam Architecture Overview

Using Brightmail AntiSpam, you set up a powerful message filtering system that protects

your customers and your network through an approach that is centralized and automated,

but also provides customizable, open features that you can tailor for your system. The net

effect of this highly scalable structure is to unburden your customers of unwanted email.

As spam messages traverse the Internet, they pass through Symantec’s worldwide Probe

NetworkTM, an extensive array of email addresses. The Probe Network includes over two

million probe accounts that attract the latest spam, based upon up-to-date research into

spamming methodologies. The Probe Network sends possible spam emails in real time to

the Brightmail Logistics and Operations Center (BLOCTM) for evaluation. If the message is

verified as spam, the BLOC issues AntiSpam Filters to Brightmail Scanners on your

system that isolate similar messages.

The BLOC consists of several centers working cooperatively on three continents,

comprising a round-the-clock protection network that spans the globe. Sophisticated

automatic tools, assisted and monitored by BLOC Technicians, evaluate mail for new

variations of spam, then issue filters to identify and capture similar messages. The BLOC

continuously provides updated filters to Brightmail Servers on your system. BLOC

Technicians play an important role in confirming the identification of possible spam. This

combination of automation and human intervention allows Symantec Brightmail

AntiSpam to adapt in real time to ever-changing spamming techniques, giving it

unparalleled flexibility and accuracy as a spam filter.

Most of the filters that the BLOC creates are designed to thwart specific spam attacks. A

spam attack can contain thousands of identical or similar messages. By targeting filters

against specific attacks, the BLOC keeps Symantec’s false positive rate extremely low

(less than 1 in 1 million).

Symantec also employs a carefully designed set of heuristic filters, which target patterns

common in spam and add a proactive element to our spam-fighting arsenal. Commonly

available heuristic filters can lead to large increases in false positives because of the

problems inherent in a pattern-matching approach. Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam

heuristic filters are carefully designed and tested to prevent large increases in false

positives.

Brightmail Scanner

Each installation of Symantec Brightmail AntiSpam can have one or more Brightmail

Scanners. Brightmail Scanners perform the actual filtering of email messages.

Each Brightmail Scanner contains:

•A Brightmail Agent

•One or both of the following:

— A Brightmail Server

— A Brightmail Client. If the Brightmail Scanner contains a Brightmail Client, then

a supported mail transfer agent (MTA) must also reside on the same computer.
