IronPort - Configuration Guide - AsyncOS 7.6.1

Q
Glossary
Queue In the Cisco IronPort appliance, you can delete, bounce, suspend, or redirect
messages in the email queue. This email queue of messages for destination
domains is also referred to as the delivery queue. The queue of messages waiting
to be processed by IronPort Anti-Spam or message filter actions is referred to as
the work queue. You can view the status of both queues using the status
detail command.
R
RAT Recipient Access Table. The Recipient Access Table defines which recipients
will be accepted by a public listener. The table specifies the address (which may
be a partial address or hostname) and whether to accept or reject it. You can
optionally include the SMTP response to the RCPT TO command for that
recipient. The RAT typically contains your local domains.
Rate Limiting Rate limiting limits the maximum number of messages per session, the
maximum number of recipients per message, the maximum message size, the
maximum recipients per hour, and the maximum number of concurrent
connections you are willing to accept from a remote host.
RCPT TO See Envelope Recipient.
Receiving The act of receiving email messages on a specific listener configured on an IP
interface. The Cisco IronPort appliance configures listeners to receive email
messages — either inbound from the Internet, or outbound from your internal
systems.
Reputation Filter A way of filtering suspicious senders based on their reputation. The SenderBase
Reputation Service provides an accurate, flexible way for you to reject or
“throttle” suspected spam based on the connecting IP address of the remote host.
S
Sender Group A sender group is simply a list of senders gathered together for the purposes of
handling email from those senders in the same way (that is, applying a mail flow
policy to a group of senders). A sender group is a list of senders (identified by
IP address, IP range, host/domain, SenderBase Reputation Service
classification, SenderBase Reputation score range, or DNS List query response)
separated by commas in a listener’s Host Access Table (HAT). You assign a
name for sender groups, as well as mail flow policies.
Soft Bounced
Message
GL-6
A message whose delivery will be reattempted at a later time base on the
configured maximum number of retries or maximum time in queue.
