Multiple ScanMail servers can share the same configurations by using Trend Micro Control Manager (TMCM).

Control Manager 6.0 permits administrators to configure and deploy Data Loss Prevention policies (rules) directly to ScanMail servers from the Control Manager web console.

You can also use Control Manager to synchronize virus pattern file and other downloads (Control Manager contacts Trend Micro through the Internet; Control Manager then distributes the updates to the various instances of ScanMail through the Intranet).

Unless included as part of a Control Manager domain, each instance of ScanMail on the network will update its own virus pattern file and other updates.

For more information, see the Control Manager documentation.
