This section illustrates different ways to deploy IMSS based on the location of firewalls on your network.
Deploy IMSS in an existing messaging environment at the SMTP gateway. This section provides a description of where IMSS fits in various network topologies, with illustrations of each scenario and general instructions for configuring other gateway services.
Note
Note
The illustrations below assume a single-server installation of IMSS. Since any IMSS installation functions as a logical unit, the same topologies would apply to a distributed deployment installation. However, as IMSS does not handle the distribution of messages between scanners, you need to use third-party software or a switch to balance the traffic between multiple instances of the IMSS scanner component.
