You can deploy IMSS in different ways depending on how the IMSS server interacts with your existing MTAs and mail servers. There are three operating models:
Standalone model
Deploys IMSS on the same computer as an MTA, such as Postfix.
Sandwich model
Deploys IMSS between an upstream MTA and a downstream MTA.
Proxy model
Deploys IMSS between an upstream mail server and a downstream mail server.
Note
Note
In the proxy model, IMSS is placed at the edge of your intranet without any co-work MTA. This model does not support the use of IP Filtering features (IP Profiler and ERS).
