Juniper ATP Cloud Email Management: SMTP Settings

Use the SMTP Settings page to inspect and manage email attachments sent over SMTP.

Before You Begin

To configure the email management settings for the Juniper ATP Cloud realm:

  1. Select Configure > Threat Prevention > Feed Sources.

    The Feed Sources page appears

  2. Under the ATP Cloud tab, right-click ATP Cloud Realm or from the More list, select SMTP Settings.
  3. Based on your selections, configuration options described in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.
Table 1: Configure Quarantine Malicious Messages

Setting

Guideline

Action to take

Quarantine malicious messages (the default)—When you select to quarantine malicious email messages, in place of the original email, intended recipients receive a custom email you configure with information on the quarantining. Both the original email and the attachment are stored in the cloud in an encrypted format.

Release option

  • Recipients can release email—This option provides recipients with a link to the Juniper ATP Cloud quarantine portal where they can preview the email. From the portal, recipients can select to Release the email or Delete it. Either action causes a message to be sent to the administrator.

    Note:

    If a quarantined email has multiple recipients, any individual recipient can release the email from the portal and all recipients will receive it. Similarly, if one recipient deletes the email from the portal, it is deleted for all recipients.

  • Recipients can request administrator to release email—This option also provides recipients with a link to the Juniper ATP Cloud quarantine portal where they can preview the email. From the portal, recipients can select to Request to Release the email or Delete it. Either choice causes a message to be sent to the administrator. When the administrator takes action on the email, a message is sent to the recipient.

Note:

When a quarantined email is released, it is allowed to pass through the SRX series with a header message that prevents it from being quarantined again, but the attachment is placed inside a password-protected zip file with a text file containing the password that the recipient must use to open the file.

Table 2: Configure Deliver with Warning Headers

Setting

Guideline

Action to take

Deliver malicious messages with warning headers added—When you select to deliver a suspicious email with warning headers, you can add headers to emails that most mail servers will recognize and filter into spam or junk folders.

SMTP Headers

  • X-Distribution (Bulk, Spam)—Use this header for messages that are sent to a large distribution list and are most likely spam. You can also select “Do not add this header.”

  • X-Spam-Flag—This is a common header added to incoming emails that are possibly spam and should be redirected into spam or junk folders. You can also select “Do not add this header.”

  • Subject Prefix—You can prepend headers with information for the recipient, such as "Possible Spam."
Table 3: Permit

Setting

Guideline

Action to take
