Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 135

An organization has multiple Cisco ESA devices deployed, resulting in several spam quarantines to manage. To manage the quarantined messages, the administrator enabled the centralized spam quarantine on the Cisco SMA and configured the external spam quarantine on the Cisco ESA devices. However, messages are still being directed to the local quarantine on the Cisco ESA devices. What change is necessary to complete the configuration?

Answer options

• A. Modify the incoming mail policies on the Cisco ESA devices to redirect to the external quarantine.
• B. Disable the external spam quarantine on the Cisco ESA devices.
• C. Disable the local spam quarantine on the Cisco ESA devices.
• D. Modify the external spam quarantine settings on the Cisco ESA devices and change the port to 25.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because disabling the local spam quarantine on the Cisco ESA devices ensures that all spam messages are directed to the centralized external quarantine instead. Options A and B do not address the issue of local quarantine taking precedence, while option D incorrectly suggests changing the port, which is not relevant to the problem.
