Post-installation tasks

The following are recommended tasks that cover initial configuration of your ESET Mail Security.

Task	Description
Product Activation	Make sure your ESET Mail Security is activated. You can perform activation in several different ways.
Update	When the product is activated, the module update runs automatically. Check the update status to see if the update was successful.
Mail Quarantine manager	Get to know the Mail Quarantine manager, accessible from the program's main program window. This feature enables you to manage quarantined messages such as spam, infected attachments containing malware, phishing messages and messages filtered out by rules. You can see details of each message and take action (release or delete).
Mail Quarantine Web interface	The Mail Quarantine Web interface is an alternative to the Mail Quarantine manager, enabling you to manage quarantined items remotely. The Mail Quarantine Web interface also enables users (email recipients) to manage their quarantined messages. Users can be notified about newly quarantined content with Mail Quarantine reports sent via email. We recommend that you configure the reports.
Antispam - Filtering and verification	Antispam is a sophisticated cloud-based functionality that prevents your users (email recipients) from receiving spam. We recommend that you use filtering and verification and add your local IP addresses to the Ignored IP list. IP addresses within your network infrastructure will then be ignored during classification. You can configure and manage the rest of the Approved, Blocked and Ignored lists to customize filtering and verification. You can also enable Greylisting if you decide to use this feature.
Antivirus test	Verify that Antivirus protection works correctly.
Antispam test	Verify that Antispam protection works correctly.
Anti-Phishing test	Verify that Anti-Phishing protection works correctly.
Rules	A powerful feature that enables you to filter email messages based on defined conditions and actions. Use pre-defined rules (modify if required) or create new, customized rules to fit your needs. Rules can be configured for any protection layer (Mail transport protection, Mailbox database protection or On-demand mailbox database scan).

You can continue with setting up reports.
