WatchGuard Network Security Essentials — Question 42

After you enable spamBlocker, your users experience no reduction in the amount of spam they receive. What could explain this? (Select three.)

Answer options

• A. Connections cannot be resolved to the spamBlocker servers because DNS is not configured on the Firebox.
• B. The spamBlocker action for Confirmed Spam is set to Allow.
• C. The Maximum File Size to Scan option is set too high.
• D. A spamBlocker exception is configured to allow traffic from sender *.
• E. spamBlocker Virus Outbreak Detection is not enabled.

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

Answer A is correct because if DNS isn't configured, the Firebox cannot communicate with spamBlocker servers, leading to no spam filtering. Answer B is also correct; if the action for Confirmed Spam is set to Allow, spam will not be blocked. Answer D is correct as well because having an exception for all traffic from sender * would bypass spamBlocker entirely, allowing spam through. Other options do not directly contribute to the issue of spam not being reduced.
