Which two statements about configuring message filters within the Cisco ESA are true? (Choose two.)

  1. The filters command executed from the CLI is used to configure the message filters.
  2. Message filters configuration within the web user interface is located within Incoming Content Filters.
  3. The filterconfig command executed from the CLI is used to configure message filters.
  4. Message filters can be configured only from the CLI.
  5. Message filters can be configured only from the web user interface.

Answer(s): A,D

ironport.example.com> filters

Choose the operation you want to perform:
- NEW - Create a new filter.
- IMPORT - Import a filter script from a file.
[]> NEW

Enter filter script. Enter '.' on its own line to end.

if ((body-size > 2097152) AND NOT (attachment-size > 0)) { quarantine("large_spam");
log-entry("*****This is a large message with no attachments*****");

}
.

What occurs when configuring separate incoming mail policies?

  1. message splintering
  2. message exceptions
  3. message detachment
  4. message aggregation

Answer(s): A

Message splintering means that Cisco ESA will split a single incoming message into multiple copies, each with a different recipient and policy, and apply different security services and actions to each copy.

Which type of query must be configured when setting up the Spam Quarantine while merging notifications?

  1. Spam Quarantine Alias Routing Query
  2. Spam Quarantine Alias Consolidation Query
  3. Spam Quarantine Alias Authentication Query
  4. Spam Quarantine Alias Masquerading Query

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Spam Quarantine Alias Consolidation Query is a type of query that must be configured when setting up the Spam Quarantine while merging notifications on Cisco ESA. This query allows Cisco ESA to consolidate multiple email addresses that belong to the same end user into one entry in the Spam Quarantine, and send only one notification email to that end user with all the quarantined messages for all their email addresses.

Which two factors must be considered when message filter processing is configured? (Choose two.)

  1. message-filter order
  2. lateral processing
  3. structure of the combined packet
  4. mail policies
  5. MIME structure of the message

Answer(s): A,E

Explanation:

Message-filter order and MIME structure of the message are two factors that must be considered when message filter processing is configured on Cisco ESA. Message-filter order determines the sequence in which message filters are evaluated and applied to incoming messages, which can affect the final outcome of the filtering process. MIME structure of the message determines how message filters match against different parts of the message, such as headers, body, attachments, etc., which can affect the accuracy and performance of the filtering process.

User Guide for AsyncOS 15.0 for Cisco Secure Email Gateway, page 3-3 and page 3-5.
