Requirements for SaaS email protection
To set up and run the SaaS email protection service, you need to have set up these required
components.
• A dedicated email server, either in‑house or hosted by an ISP.
• A company email domain, such as yourdomain.com, with a static IP address.
Instructions for activating and setting up the SaaS email protection service are provided in an email
from McAfee and in the product guide.
You must have your own domain name pointing to your own email server or a server hosted by a
service provider. We cannot provide this service for email accounts on major services such as Yahoo or
Google, because these providers control their own domains. If you attempt to activate the SaaS email
or web protection service by using an unsupported domain name, you will be notified that the domain is
not accepted. Unsupported domain names include major domains such as gmail.com, yahoo.com,
mcafee.com, and hotmail.com.
Requirements for email server protection
Before installing the email server protection service, verify that your email server is running a
supported operating system and meets or exceeds minimum requirements.
Email server protection supports these versions of Microsoft Exchange:
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with Service Pack 2 or 3
• Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2
Email server protection also supports Lotus Domino running on these operating systems:
• Windows 2008 Server with Service Pack 2
• Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with Service Pack 2
• Windows 2003 Server
For detailed information about system requirements, see http://www.mcafee.com/us/products/

Instructions for installing the email server protection service are provided in emails and materials from
McAfee.
