Cisco IronPort AsyncOS 7.6 for Email Configuration Guide
Chapter 3 Setup and Installation
Send the configuration to a mailbox to which you have access to confirm that the system is able to send
email on your network.
The Cisco IronPort appliance uses feature keys to enable features. The first time you create a listener in
the systemsetup command, enable Cisco IronPort Anti-Spam, enable Sophos or McAfee Anti-Virus, or
enable Outbreak Filters, an alert is generated and sent to the addresses you specified in Step 2: System,
page 3-15.
The alert notifies you periodically of the time remaining on the key. For example:
Your "Receiving" key will expire in under 30 day(s). Please contact IronPort Customer
Support.
Your "Sophos" key will expire in under 30 day(s). Please contact IronPort Customer
Support.
Your "Outbreak Filters" key will expire in under 30 day(s). Please contact IronPort
Customer Support.
For information on enabling a feature beyond the 30-day evaluation period, contact your Cisco IronPort
sales representative. You can see how much time remains on a key via the System Administration >
Feature Keys page or by issuing the featurekey command. (For more information, see the section on
working with feature keys in “Common Administrative Tasks” in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Email
Daily Management Guide.)
What’s Next: Understanding the Email Pipeline
Now that systemsetup is complete, your Cisco IronPort appliance should be sending and receiving email.
If you have enabled the anti-virus, anti-spam, and virus-outbreak filters security features, the system will
also be scanning incoming and outgoing mail for spam and viruses.
The next step is to understand how to customize your appliances’ configuration. Chapter 4,
“Understanding the Email Pipeline” provides a detailed overview of how email is routed through the
system. Each feature is processed in order (from top to bottom) and is described in the remaining
chapters of this guide.
