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.
NoteThe 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.
