After directing the MX records to the Avira AMES cluster, the managed service is active
and will scan and filter the incoming emails. The filtered and scanned emails will be
delivered to the regular mailbox.
Configuring security and firewall
After DNS changes are complete and propagated correctly, make sure the receiving mail
server accepts only emails coming from the AMES server cluster mentioned in the
order
confirmation email
. This can be done through settings in the firewall or mail server itself.
2.4 Scanning outgoing emails
By default, AMES scans only the incoming emails. The relay service (scanning of outgoing
emails) is initially deactivated.
If you want AMES to scan your outgoing emails for viruses, please contact your Avira
partner, to activate the relay feature for your domain.
With enabled relay service, the domain’s administrators will see the amount of filtered
outgoing messages.
A daily maximum amount of messages is set, depending on the number of users: the
amount of users in the domain, multiplied by 50 (never less than 1000 messages). If this
limit is reached, the administrators receive a bounce message.
