Decide how malicious emails are handled. For IMAP, the available options are to block or permit email. Unlike SMTP, there is no quarantine option for IMAP and no method for previewing a blocked email.

Procedure

To configure IMAP:

Select Configure > Threat Prevention > Sky ATP Email Management and choose the IMAP Settings tab.
Select a Sky ATP Realm and click the pencil icon to configure email management settings for that realm.
Complete the configuration as per the guidelines given in Table 246.
Based on your selections, configuration options will vary.

Table 246: Configure Block Malicious Messages

Setting	Guideline
Action to take	Permit download of attachments—Allow email attachments, either from all IMAP servers or specific IMAP servers, through to their destination. Note: In Permit mode, black and white lists are not checked. Emails from blacklisted addresses are not sent to the cloud for scanning. They are allowed through to the client. Block download of attachments—Block email attachments, either from all IMAP servers or specific IMAP servers, from reaching their destination. Note: In Block mode, black and white lists are checked. Emails from blacklisted addresses are blocked. Emails from whitelisted addresses are allowed through to the client. Recipients can send a request to an administrator to release the email. Enter the email address to which recipients should send a release request. Note: If a blocked email has multiple recipients, any individual recipient can request to release the email and all recipients will receive it. When you select to block email attachments, in place of the original email, intended recipients receive a custom email you configure with information on the block action. Both the original email and the attachment are stored in the cloud in an encrypted format.
IMAP Server	All IMAP Servers—The permitting or blocking of email attachments applies to all IMAP servers. Specific IMAP Server—The permitting or blocking of email attachments applies only to IMAP servers with hostnames that you add to a list. A configuration section to add the IMAP server name appears when you select this option. When you add IMAP servers to the list, it is sent to the SRX Series device to filter emails sent to Sky ATP for scanning. For emails that are sent for scanning, if the returned score is above the set policy threshold on the SRX, then the email is blocked.
IMAP Servers	Select the Specific IMAP Server option above and click the + sign to add IMAP server hostnames to the list. Note: You must use the IMAP server hostname and not the IP address.
Email Notifications for End Users
Learn More Link URL	If you have a corporate web site with further information for users, enter that URL here. If you leave this field blank, this option will not appear to the end user.
Subject	When an email is blocked, the recipient receives a custom message informing them of their blocked email. For this custom message, enter a subject indicating a suspicious email sent to them has been blocked, such as "Malware Detected."
Custom Message	Enter information to help email recipients understand what they should do next.
Custom Link Text	Enter custom text for the Sky ATP quarantine portal link where recipients can preview blocked emails and take action on them.
Buttons	Click Preview to view the custom message that will be sent to a recipient when an email is blocked. Then click Save. Click Reset to clear all fields without saving. Click Save if you are satisfied with the configuration.
