Overview Welcome to Cyberoam’s – Anti Spam User guide. Cyberoam is an Identity-based UTM Appliance. Cyberoam’s solution is purpose-built to meet the security needs of corporates, government organizations, and educational institutions. Cyberoam’s 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. Refer to Licensing section for details on registration.

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 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 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 • Configure action for individual email address • Notify receivers about spam messages

Cyberoam Anti Spam Implementation Guide

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.

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.

Types of Policies

1. Global Global policy is applicable to all the users. Cyberoam provides blank corporate policy which can be customized as per the requirement.

2. Default Default policy is applicable to all the users except for those users for whom the personal policy is defined. Default policy is applicable to all the users as soon as you register the Anti Spam module.

3. Custom/Personal Cyberoam allows defining custom policy as per the individual user requirement. Custom user policy is applicable to only that user for whom the policy is created.

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: • 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.

Default policy

Anti spam solutions use various methods to detect spam and after scanning add the X Spam Test Method tag along with the method name in the mail header. This scanning method can be used only if Cyberoam receives the tagged mail which is already scanned by some other anti spam solution and you know the method name. X-Spam Test Categories - X-Spam Test Categories displays the category name under which the mail is detected as SPAM. If Anti Spam solution uses content filtering method to detect spam then it added X Spam Test Categories tag along with the category name under which the mail is detected as spam in the mail header.
