Default settings

As soon as your email security service is activated, default functionality and features are configured.

„Two users appear on the Users tab:

„Your administrator login address.

„A default user (whose name begins with pdefault), which you should ignore.

7

Do not delete the pdefault entry.

„Users in the activation domain automatically receive virus protection and basic attack blocking. However, your users will not receive spam filtering protection until they are added to the email security service.

„Registered users receive a daily Quarantine Summary email, which lists recent spam detections. Users can review the list and optionally forward any false positives to their Inbox (see Managing quarantined email on page 142).

„The activation domain is entered on the Domains page (on the Administration tab), and your email server is entered under Delivery Manager (on the Servers tab).

„Users can contact you for assistance via a support address, which initially is your administrator login address.

„Automatic disaster recovery is enabled via spooling: Should your email server stop functioning, messages are temporarily saved to the SonicWALL server, then automatically delivered when your server begins functioning again.

Recommended first steps

We recommend you follow these steps to configure your service for enhanced security, quick response to problems, and disaster recovery.

1Add your other domains.

If users in multiple domains need email protection, add those domains to your email security service. (You don’t need to add subdomains, such as corp.yourdomain.com or sales.yourdomain.com. Instead, set up subdomain stripping for the primary domain.)

SmartCreate, which automatically adds users accounts, works only for domains that have been added to the email protection service.

2Add partners, associates, and other friendly addresses to the Approved Senders list. This helps prevent false positives.
