You work as a Network Administrator for a medium sized business. Spam has become a significant
problem for your company. You want to have a common network wide solution. You want a solution
that is easy to administer. However, you do not want your solution to hinder the performance of
your email server. What is the best solution for you to implement?
A.
Utilize a client side anti-spam solution.
B.
Use a combination of mail server engine and client side.
C.
Utilize a gateway filter anti-spam solution.
D.
Utilize a mail server engine anti-spam solution.
Explanation:
A gateway filter checks spam at the network gateway before it even reaches the email server. This
gives you a common network wide solution that is easy to manage, and it does not utilize the
resources of the email server.Answer D is incorrect. This solution will utilize mail server resources and hinder the performance of
the email server.
Answer A is incorrect. Client side solutions would not be common to the entire
network. Even if all the clients are similarly configured, over time some will mark items that others
will not as spam. This will not be easy to administer.
