URL scanning with Web Security
Email Security Manager Help | Email Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x
Email Security Gateway uses Websense Web Security URL scanning for accurate and efficient spam detection. The Web Security module maintains an updated URL master database from the Websense download server. Email Security Gateway queries the Websense URL category master database and determines the risk level of a URL found in an email message. Note that the Web Security version must be supported by Email Security Gateway for this function to be available.
Specify the location of the master database in the Settings > General > URL Scanning page:
*
Use the Local option if Web Security and Email Security are installed on the same Websense V-Series™ appliance.
*
Use the Remote option to use a remote database. Enter the IP address or host name of the remote database.
Activate URL scanning in the Main > Policy Management > Filters > Add URL Scanning Filter page by marking the URL scanning check box in the Filter Properties section and selecting the URL categories for which you want Email Security to scan. See URL Scanning for details.
