Using Quick Configuration to Set Up Email Management

The Quick Configuration page walks you step-by-step through the configuration of your SonicWALL Email Security appliance. Use this window the first time you configure SonicWALL Email Security if you are installing SonicWALL Email Security as an All-In-One server and have only one downstream server.

The information you enter for LDAP configuration is used to authenticate users as they log in to their personal Junk Boxes.

For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the SonicWALL Email Security Administrator’s Guide.

1.Navigate to the System > Administration page.

2.Click Click Here for Quick Configuration.

3.In the Quick Configuration dialog box under Network Architecture, enter the host name or IP address and the port into the Inbound destination server fields.

The inbound destination server is the email server that will accept good email after SonicWALL Email Security removes and quarantines junk email. For example, this could be the IP address of a Microsoft Exchange server. The default port is 25.
