  5. Email Overview

  6. Sending an Email Ehlo proofpoint.com mail from: <user@proofpoint.com> rcpt to: <recipient@domain.test> data From: Joe User <user@proofpoint.com> To: Tom Recipient <tom.recipient@hotmail.com> Subject: Simple message This is the body of the email . Envelope Body Simple SMTP Session:

  7. SMTP Protocol • Envelope: • HELO/EHLO • MAIL FROM • RCPT TO • DATA • Body: • Headers • Body • MIME

  8. SMTP Example

  9. Architecture Overview

  10. Proofpoint Protection Sever Internet Mail (SMTP) DMZ Email Gateway – MTA Virus Protection SPAM Email Users Exchange Server

  11. Proofpoint Protection Server • Enterprise Appliance Performance: • 10,000+ simultaneous connections. • 90,000+ messages per hour. • MTA Functionality: • SMTP over IPV6. • Relaying, address rewriting. • Routing messages using envelope attributes and users/groups. • Sender authentication, recipient verification. • Easy-to-use: • Point-and-click. • Queue management.

  12. Appliance Hardware • Dell PowerEdge R620XL: • Proofpoint P86016/300/2x2.0GHz(6c) – Master Appliance • Proofpoint P860M 32/900/2x2.0GHz(6c) – Large Quarantine • Proofpoint P660 8/300/1x1.8GHz(4c) – Enterprise Agents • Dell PowerEdge R210 II: • Proofpoint P360 8/250/1x3.1GHz(2c) – Smaller Deployments

  13. Deployment: Master / Agents • Master: • Central management configuration. • Pushes out configuration to agents on port 10000 via SOAP. • Sends start/stop/deploy etc. commands to agents. • Collects logs from agents. • Responsible for end-user digest, quarantine, admin server. • Agents: • Agents process mail traffic. • Send quarantined mail to master. • Secure Reader server for Proofpoint Encryption.

  18. Proofpoint on Demand (PoD) Firewall

  19. Hybrid Deployment POD Customer Network Internal Internal Master Agent Admin

  20. Virtual Machine Deployment • Tested and accredited on VMware VSphere: • ESX and ESXi 4.0 • ESX and ESXi 4.1 • ESXi 5.0 • ESXi 5.1 • ESXi 5.1 Update 1 • VM tips: • Proofpoint Protection Server is available for installation as either .ISO or .OVF. • Proofpoint VMs will use all of their resource allocation. • Call Support to adjust RAM or number of CPUs after install. • Disk speed is crucial to performance. • NAS or RAID5 can cripple appliance performance.

  21. Physical Appliance Deployment • Appliance OS is tightly coupled with Proofpoint software. • Allows for Smart Search and sendmail™ integration to Management Interface. • Appliance system configuration menu:

  22. Software Based Deployment • Customer runs Proofpoint software in-house on their own servers. • Installed from a simple installation script. • Manual configuration of sendmail is required. • Some functionality is lost without OS integration: • Smart Search • Management Interface: • Network Interface settings. • System Firewall settings.

  23. Optional Dedicated Nodes • Master: • Quarantine node - move quarantine functions to second node. • Smart Search - hosts the search database and executes searches. • Log node - stores log files. • Agents: • Proofpoint Encryption Reader: • Provides web interface for viewing encrypted messages. • May be used simultaneously as mail filters.

  24. Installation and Deployment

  25. Installation Overview Appliance Installation Operating System Software Activation

  26. Setting Up a Cluster • Required Ports: • 3306 (Database) • 10000 (Config) • 10010 (Logs) • System Names: • The master hostname must resolve on every agent. • All agent names must resolve from the master. • Names may be defined in DNS or host file entries.

  27. Operating System • Proofpoint Linux (Plinx): • Based on CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise kernel. • Hardened distribution: • Unused services removed / deactivated. • No Yum or Up2date. • IPTables: • Software firewall. • Unused ports are blocked. • Other information: • 64-bit based. • Software tuned to hardware on install.

  28. Proofpoint Specific Software(1 of 2) • Filter (filterd): • The “heart” of Proofpoint Protection Server. • Spam Engine: • Generates spam classifier scores. • Virus Engine: • F-Secure (or McAfee) • Encryption: • Integrated message encryption.

  29. Proofpoint Specific Software(2 of 2) • Smart Search: • Message search and information tool. • Conversion Engine: • Message deconstruction for filtering. • Sendmail: • MTA (Message Transfer Agent)

  30. Third Party Software Used • MariaDB (MySQL): • Database • Apache / Tomcat: • Web services

  31. Building / Re-imaging • ISO installation images: • Available from Support. • Console wizard available for network setup. • Default username: admin • Default password: password • Activation ID must match installed version and not be currently in use.

  32. Activating • Your Activation Key provides access to: • Spam updates • Virus updates • Dictionary updates • Product patches • Product upgrades • Allowed modules • Expiration dates
