Meraki MX and mail spam protection

[Abechara]

hello, is there any configuration on meraki we can do to provide some email Security 

[PhilipDAth · Accepted solution]

Add the content filtering threat category of SPAM.

Personally - I always enable all threat categories.

The suggested option will not work, you need anti-SPAM for email.

I don't know which email solution you use, but there are good anti-SPAM email solutions on the market.

[PhilipDAth]

It certainly won't hurt.  That category is a dynamic list of current bulk spammers.  It will prevent them from being able to connect to your site.

[alemabrahao]

But it will not act as an anti-SPAM email.

[PhilipDAth]

The OP never asked for that.  They asked for "any configuration on meraki we can do to provide some email Security ".  And this will block bulk spammers from connecting.

[alemabrahao]

I'm sorry, but this setting still won't prevent this for emails.

This statement and solution is wrong.

What do you feel the SPAM content filtering does?

[alemabrahao]

To be honest, in my understanding this is to prevent you from clicking on a malicious link and not letting you access the malicious page.

But this will not prevent or identify an email as SPAM, that is, it does not work as an anti-SPAM for email.

It may even help, but if you want to have email protection you have to invest in a good anti-SPAM tool.
