BEFORE YOU BEGIN System Requirements 2 OTHER REQUIREMENTS Please note the following: None of the E-mail Filter components can be installed via a terminal server client. You must have full administrative rights to install E-mail Filter. You will also need the following information: Your mail system s pre-registered domain name. The IP address or host name of your e-mail system s SMTP gateway or MTA. The e-mail address of your e-mail system security administrator. Your Activation Key as supplied by SurfControl. The HTTP port number (default 8181) to install and start the Administration Service. The IP address of the relay host (for example your ISP) if you use a relay host to send mail to the Internet. SurfControl E-mail Filter 5.0 Getting Started Guide 11

2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation Decisions Installation Decisions Before you begin installing SurfControl E-mail Filter you need to make decisions about the following: Location of SurfControl E-mail Filter on your network. Database size and location. Load balancing method. 12 Getting Started Guide SurfControl E-mail Filter 5.0

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation Decisions 2 LOCATION OF E-MAIL FILTER ON THE NETWORK Before you install E-mail Filter on your network, consider Whether you will install E-mail Filter on the mail server / MTA or on a dedicated server. Whether the mail server uses MX records for domain name resolution, or whether the mail server passes this task to a relay host. Where the E-mail Filter server will be located in relation to your firewall or DMZ. Chapter 5 describes a range of deployment options for different sized enterprises. DATABASE SIZE AND LOCATION SurfControl E-mail Filter stores all configuration data and filtering policies in a SQL database called STEMConfig. All logging data is stored in a SQL database called STEMLog. SQL Server vs. MSDE MSDE, included with the SurfControl E-mail Filter download, is the run-time version of SQL. MSDE databases have a 2 GB size limit and few management tools, but it is an effective database for small environments. Although you can install a SQL database onto the SurfControl server, SurfControl recommends that large environments install a fully licensed version of SQL onto a separate, dedicated server. Dedicated vs. Centralized If your network requires multiple SurfControl servers, you have two database options: dedicated or centralized. A dedicated database stores data for a single SurfControl server in a single database; a centralized database stores the data for multiple SurfControl servers in a single database. Many customers choose to use the centralized database option, which provides the advantages of centralized policy management and message administration, plus the ability to run reports from a single repository. However, the size of a centralized database grows in direct relation to the number of SurfControl servers that write to it. Depending on the size of your environment and the number of e-mails that pass through your network, a centralized database can require additional administration. In this case, you may choose to use a dedicated database for each SurfControl server. Database Size The size of the database depends on the number of e-mails your organization receives per day, and the length of time you plan to retain the logged data for message administration and reporting purposes. To size your database appropriately, SurfControl estimates that each e-mail generates approximately 1KB of log data stored in the database. (This calculation can also be helpful when determining whether MSDE is sufficient for your environment.) No matter where you store the SurfControl E-mail Filter data, make sure the server has as much RAM as the anticipated size of the database (for example, a one GB database requires one GB of RAM. (This is in accordance with Microsoft s recommendations for optimal performance.) SurfControl E-mail Filter 5.0 Getting Started Guide 13

2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation Decisions LOAD BALANCING METHODS You can load balance SurfControl E-mail Filter using MX records. On the DNS server hosting your domain, create an MX record for each primary SurfControl server using the same MX preference, while giving the failover server a higher number (which gives it a lower preference). Table 5 provides an example of MX preference assignments for load-balancing and failover using MX records. Figure 1 further shows this method. Table 5 MX Records for Load Balancing. Mail Exchanger IP Address MX Preference Site A mx1.sitea.com 208.126.216.20 5 mx2.sitea.com 208.126.216.21 5 mx3.sitea.com 208.126.216.22 5 mx4.sitea.com 197.201.56.201 10 Site B mx1.siteb.com 197.201.56.201 5 mx2.siteb.com 197.201.56.202 5 mx3.siteb.com 197.201.56.203 5 mx4.siteb.com 208.126.216.20 10 Figure 1 Using MX records for load balancing. 14 Getting Started Guide SurfControl E-mail Filter 5.0

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation Decisions 2 In Figure 1, e-mail sent to sitea.com round-robins between mail exchangers 1, 2, and 3, because each SurfControl server has the same MX preference of 5. (A lower MX preference number means that it has a higher priority -- 5 having a higher priority than 10.) The same thing happens for e-mails sent to siteb.com. If site A is down (e.g., with a network failure), the sending mail server will route e-mail to the fourth (failover) MX record, which is the address of a server in a different physical location. For the described failover to work properly, SurfControl servers in site A are configured to accept messages for site B, and SurfControl servers in site B are configured to accept messages for site A. The failover servers also have static routes configured so that SurfControl knows where to route the e-mails. In addition to load balancing and failover using MX records, there are also sophisticated load balancing switches that can be used for these purposes. These switches offer a variety of load balancing algorithms, in addition to round-robin delivery, which provide efficient load distribution and timely failover. Although this is not a required component for a SurfControl implementation, the use of load balancing switches may improve the overall efficiency of your SMTP infrastructure. SERVER SIZE Table 2 shows SurfControl s server recommendations, depending on how many e-mails per hour your organization typically handles. Table 6 Server Recommendations. E-mails Per Hour Server Recommendations < 10K e-mails PIII 1Ghz + 1 GB RAM. < 25K e-mails Dual Xeon 2GB RAM. <40K e-mails Quad Xeon, 2GB RAM, 3 or more HDDs (10,000 + RPM) for e-mail processing. < 120K e-mails 3-Quad Xeon, 2GB RAM, 3 or more HDDs (10,000 + RPM) for e-mail processing. < 240K e-mails 6-Quad Xeon, 2GB RAM, 3 or more HDDs (10,000 + RPM) for e-mail processing. Actual processing speeds are dependent on several factors: number of rules processing threads, number of enabled rules, size of e-mails, and complexity of the e-mails (e.g., attachments, embedded files, etc.). SurfControl E-mail Filter 5.0 Getting Started Guide 15

2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation Decisions Partitioning the Server You can optimize E-mail Filter s performance by installing onto a server capable of fast disk I/O and configured to support multiple HDDs. Figure 2 shows the optimal HDD and partitioning configuration for SurfControl. Because SurfControl frequently reads from and writes to disk as it processes e-mail, SurfControl recommends that you have a server capable of fast disk I/O. Figure 2 shows a server with five SCSI HDDs. Two of the HDDs are in a RAID1 configuration and are divided into three partitions: a partition for the operating system, a partition for the page file, and a partition for the SurfControl application. The other three HDDs each have a single partition and are capable of fast disk I/O. The first drive contains the In folder where SurfControl stores the received e-mails. The second drive contains the Work folder. SurfControl retrieves e-mails from the In folder and moves them to the Work folder, where the e-mails are processed against the configured rule set. SurfControl then moves the e-mail to a quarantine folder for review or to the Out folder for delivery. The third drive contains the Out folder where SurfControl relays processed messages to the intended recipient. Figure 2 Partitioning the SurfControl server. Now turn to the next chapter to begin the installation process. 16 Getting Started Guide SurfControl E-mail Filter 5.0
