When you have registered your license(s), the Setup Wizard is launched.
Configure your system
Proceed through the Setup Wizard as described in this section to configure your system.
Note: None of the settings you specify using the wizard are final until you click Finish at the end of the wizard. If you step through all the panels of the wizard and do not click Finish, you will not make any changes to configuration settings. To specify administrator, local domain, and locale settings
1 On the Administrator Settings panel, specify an email address for the administrator and click Next.
You can use the Control Center to specify that the system send alerts and other information to this address after you have completed this procedure. 2 On the Local Domains panel, add the domains for which you accept
incoming mail.
You can also add specific email addresses.
To delete a domain or email address from the list, check it and click Delete. 3 For each domain or email address you add, optionally specify that messages
should be routed to a specific host and port. You can optionally check Enable MX Lookup.
You can click Import to import a text file containing a list of local domains, one domain per line.
4 Click Next.
The System Locale panel is displayed.
5 Specify the locale that Symantec Mail Security for SMTP should use for formatting numbers, dates, and times, and then click Next.
If you are setting up a Control Center-only installation, you will now see the Setup Wizard Summary panel. If you are setting up a Control Center and a Scanner on the same machine, you will see the Mail Filtering panel, the first panel in the Add Scanner Wizard.
6 Do one of the following:
■ If you are setting up a Control Center-only installation, review the information on the Setup Wizard Summary panel. Click Back to make changes, or Finish to complete. You must set up a Scanner before you can filter mail. To set up a Scanner on another machine you must

Setting up
install a Scanner on that machine, and then follow the procedure described in “Setting up a Scanner” on page 35.
■ If you are setting up a Control Center and a Scanner on this machine,
continue with To specify mail filtering settings in the next section. To specify mail filtering settings
1 On the Mail Filtering panel, specify how you will use this Scanner. You can choose to filter inbound mail, outbound mail, or both.
■ If you choose to filter inbound mail, you will see the Inbound Mail Filtering panel. Proceed with step 2.
■ If you choose to filter outbound mail only, you will see the Outbound
Mail Filtering panel. Proceed with “To specify outbound mail filtering settings” on page 34.
2 On the Inbound Mail Filtering panel, choose the IP address to use for inbound mail.
You can use the Test button to ensure that the mail server responds. 3 If desired, change the port specification for inbound mail, and then click
Next.
Note: Be sure not to use a port already in use on your system.
4 On the Inbound Mail Filtering - Connections panel, specify the mail servers from which this Scanner will accept inbound mail.
You can choose All IP addresses or specify IP addresses or hostnames. A typical choice would be All IP addresses, thus allowing the Scanner to accept mail from any MTA on the Internet.
If you specify one or more IP addresses, you must include the IP address of the Control Center so that Spam Quarantine and Suspect Virus Quarantine can release messages.
After you add the first entry, the IP address of the Control Center is added automatically and selected. If you are using a different IP address for the Control Center, or have the Control Center and Scanner installed on different machines, you must add the new IP address and disable the one that was added automatically.
Warning: If you are deploying this Scanner behind a gateway, and are specifying one or more IP addresses instead of All IP addresses, you must add the IP addresses of ALL upstream mail servers in use by your
organization. Upstream mail servers that are not specified here may be classified as spam sources.
5 On the Inbound Mail Filtering - Local Relay panel, specify the internal host to which this Scanner will relay inbound mail after filtering is complete. You can define a new host or select a host from the list. A typical value is a downstream mail server such as your corporate mail server.
You can also specify a port. If you check Enable MX lookup for this host, you must specify a host name (not an IP address) for that server.
6 If you chose to filter only inbound mail, click Next and proceed to step 8 in “To specify outbound mail filtering settings” in the next section.
If you chose to filter inbound and outbound mail, click Next and proceed to step 1 in “To specify outbound mail filtering settings” in the next section. To specify outbound mail filtering settings
1 On the Outbound Mail Filtering panel, choose the IP address to use for outbound mail.
2 If desired, change the port specification for outbound mail, and then click Next.
In most cases this should be left as port 25.
If you are using one NIC but wish to support both inbound and outbound filtering, you must set this to an alternate port so that it does not conflict with the port used for inbound filtering.
You can use the Test button to ensure that the mail server responds. 3 On the Outbound Mail Filtering - Connections panel, specify by IP address
the internal mail servers from which this Scanner will accept outbound mail.
A typical value is the IP address of your corporate outbound mail server. If you chose to filter only outbound mail, you will see the Outbound Mail Filtering - Local Relay panel next. Click Next and proceed to step 4. If not, click Next and skip to step 6.
4 On the Outbound Mail Filtering - Local Relay panel, specify the internal host to which this Scanner will relay outbound mail after filtering is complete. You can select a host from the list or define a new host. A typical value is a downstream mail server such as your corporate mail server.
You can also specify a port. If you check Enable MX lookup for this host, you must specify a host name (not an IP address) for that server.
5 Click Next.
6 On the Outbound Mail Filtering - Nonlocal Relay panel, specify how you want to relay outbound mail after filtering is complete.
You can use default MX lookup, select a host from the list, or define a new host.
