Overview
Welcome to Cyberoams Anti Spam User guide.
Cyberoam is an Identity-based UTM Appliance. Cyberoams solution is purpose-built to meet the
security needs of corporates, government organizations, and educational institutions.
Cyberoams perfect blend of best-of-breed solutions includes User based Firewall, Content
filtering, Anti Virus, Anti Spam, Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP), and VPN.
Cyberoam provides increased LAN security by providing separate port for connecting to the
publicly accessible servers like Web server, Mail server, FTP server etc. hosted in DMZ which are
visible the external world and still have firewall protection.
Cyberoam Anti Spam as a part of unified solution along with Anti Virus and IDP (Intrusion
Detection and Prevention), provides real time virus and spam scanning.
Anti Spam module is an add-on module which needs to be subscribed before use.
Spam
Spam refers to electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even
more generally as any unsolicited e-mail.
Spamming is to indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages,
especially commercial advertising in mass quantities. In other words, it is an inappropriate attempt
to use a mailing list, or other networked communications facility as a broadcast medium by
sending the same message to a large number of people who did not ask for it.
In addition to being a nuisance, it also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Because the Internet is
a public network, little can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail.
However, the use of software filters in e-mail programs can be used to remove most spam sent
through e-mail to certain extent.
With the number of computer users growing and the exchange of information via the Internet and
email increases in volume, spamming has become an almost everyday occurrence. Apart from
network bandwidth, it also affects the employees productive as deletion of such mails is a huge
task. Anti spam protection is therefore a priority for anyone who uses a computer.
Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam

Cyberoam Anti Spam as a part of unified solution along with Anti Virus and IDP (Intrusion
Detection and Prevention), provides real time virus scanning that protects all network nodes
workstations, files servers, mail system from known and unknown attacks by worms and viruses,
Trojans, spyware, adware, spam, hackers and all other cyber threats.
Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam provides you with powerful tools for scanning and detecting spam
in the e-mail traffic. Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam inspects all incoming emails - SMTP, POP3
and IMAP traffic - before the messages are delivered to the receiver's mail box. If spam is
detected, depending on the policy and rules set, emails are processed and delivered to the
recipient unaltered, reject and generate a notification on the message rejection, add or change
subject or change the receiver.
Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam is fully compatible with all the mail systems and therefore can be
easily integrated into the existing network.
Cyberoam Anti Spam allows to:
Scan email messages for spamming by protocols namely SMTP, POP3, IMAP
Monitors and proactively detect recurrent patterns in spam mails and combat multi-format
text, images, HTML etc. and multi-language threats
Monitors mails received from Domain/IP address
Detect spam mails using RBLs
Accept/Reject messages based on message size and message header
Customize protection of incoming and outgoing e-mail messages by defining scan policies
Set different actions for SMTP, POP and IMAP spam mails
Quarantine SMTP mails
Configure action for individual email address
Notify receivers about spam messages
Configuration
Configuration task for implementing spam solution:
1.
2.
3.
Create Spam policy. Optionally use global or default policy provided by Cyberoam
Create Spam rule for the policy created in step 1 i.e. create spam rule and attach policy to the
rule
Enable scanning from firewall rule
Spam Policy
As soon as you register Cyberoam Gateway Anti-spam module, default spam policy is applicable
to all the incoming email traffic. Default spam policy is the general policy and not fit-for-all policy
and hence might allow certain spam mails while block certain required mails also. Fine tuning the
policies means reducing the spam attacks and chances of loosing any important and required
mails.
Spam policy defines what action is to be taken if the mail is identified as a spam and to which
email address the copy of mail is to be send. As network scanning rules control all the traffic
passing through the Cyberoam and decide whether to scan or bypass mail, policy will be applied to
that traffic only that is filtered by network scanning rule.
To reduce the risk of losing the legitimate messages, Spam quarantine repository - a storage
location, provides administrators a way to automatically quarantine messages that are identified as
spam.
This will help in managing spam and probable spam quarantined mails and can take appropriate
actions on such mails.
Types of Policies
1.
Global
Global policy is applicable to all the mail recipients i.e. Email address and Email address
groups. Cyberoam provides blank corporate policy which can be customized as per the
requirement.
2.
Default
Default policy is applicable to all the recipients i.e. Email address and Email address group
except for those for whom the custom policy is defined. Default policy is applicable to all the
recipients as soon as you register the Anti Spam module.
3.
Custom/Personal
Cyberoam allows defining custom policy for specific individual recipient or address group and
is applicable to only to those specific individual recipient or address group and not all the
recipients.
Scanning rules defines which scanning policy is to be applied to which recipient email address i.e.
maps scanning policy to the email address.
Detection of spam attributes

Cyberoam uses content filtering and three RBLs - Real time Black hole Lists to check for the
spam attributes as well as POP3/IMAP mails:
Message size
Message header
Premium RBL
Reliable RBL
Standard RBL
RBL is a list of IP addresses whose owners refuse to stop the proliferation of spam i.e. are
responsible for spam or are hijacked for spam relay.
Cyberoam will check each RBL for the connecting IP address. If the IP address matches to the
one on the list then the specified action in policy is taken.
Actions
Accept Accepts and delivers the mail to the intended receiver. This action can be defined for
both SMTP and POP/IMAP protocols.
Reject Rejects the mail. This action sends the notification message to sender. This action can
be defined only for SMTP protocol.
Drop Drops the mail. This action does not send any notification message to sender. This action
can be defined only for SMTP protocol.
Change Recipient - Accepts the mail but delivers the mail to the specified receiver and not to the
receiver for whom the mail was originally send. This action can be defined only for SMTP protocol
only.
Prefix Subject Accepts and delivers the mail to the intended receiver but after changing the
subject of the mail. You can customize the subject in such a way that the receiver knows that the
mail is a spam mail. This action can be defined for both SMTP and POP/IMAP protocols.
Global policy
Cyberoam provides the blank global policy which can be customized as per your requirement. By
default, global policy applies to all the users. There is no need to apply the global policy to the
users using rules.
Select Anti Spam Spam Policy Global policy to customize policy. Refer to Add
advanced rules for more details.
10
Default policy
As soon as you subscribe Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam, default spam policy is applicable to the
all incoming email traffic. Default spam policy is the general policy and not fit-for-all policy and
hence might allow certain spam mails while block certain required mails also.
Default policy can be customized as per your requirement. Default policy will be applied to those
users only for whom custom/personal policy is not defined.
As per your requirements, Cyberoam allows you to define multiple policies instead of single global
policy. Fine tuning the policies means reducing the spam attacks and chances of loosing any
important and required mails.
Select Anti Spam Spam Policy Default policy to customize policy. Refer to Add
advanced rules for more details.

Enable Scanning
Enable anti-spam scanning using firewall rules. While anti-spam settings can be configured for
system-wide use, they can also be implemented with specific settings on a per user basis. Refer to
Cyberoam User Guide, Firewall section for creating firewall rules for enabling the anti-spam
scanning.
You can enable anti spam scanning by creating firewall rule for:
Zone
User/User Group
Host/Host Group
By enabling scanning through firewall, you can customize levels of protection. For example, while
traffic between LAN and WAN might need strict protection, traffic between trusted internal
addresses might need moderate protection. Hence you can enable/disable scanning for particular
combination of source and destination IP address or domain.
