According to the [Cisco Secure Email User Guide], graymail is a category of email messages that are not spam but may be unwanted by some recipients, such as newsletters, promotions, or social media updates[5, p. 25]. Marketing is one of the subcategories of graymail that includes messages that advertise products or services[5, p. 26].

The other options are not valid because:

A. Malicious is not a category for classifying graymail. It is a category for classifying email messages that contain malicious content such as malware, phishing, or fraud[5, p. 25].

C. Spam is not a category for classifying graymail. It is a category for classifying email messages that are unsolicited, unwanted, or harmful[5, p. 25].

D. Priority is not a category for classifying graymail. It is a category for classifying email messages that are important, urgent, or relevant[5, p. 25].

A DMARC verification profile is a list of parameters that the mail flow policies of the appliance use for verifying DMARC. The name of the verification profile identifies the profile and allows you to apply it to different mail flow policies. The message action to take when the policy is reject/quarantine determines how the appliance handles messages that fail DMARC verification based on the sender’s DMARC policy.

Geolocation-based filtering and senderbase reputation filtering are two features of Cisco Email Security that can be added to a Sender Group to protect an organization against email threats. Geolocation-based filtering allows Cisco ESA to accept or reject connections from email servers based on their geographic location, such as country or continent. Senderbase reputation filtering allows Cisco ESA to reject or throttle connections from email servers based on their reputation score, which is calculated by Talos using sensor information from various sources.

LDAP acceptance validation is a feature that allows the Cisco Secure Email Gateway to check if the recipient address of an incoming message exists in an LDAP directory before accepting it. This feature can help prevent spammers from sending emails with invalid recipient addresses and reduce the load on the appliance2.

According to the User Guide1, the steps to configure End-User Access to the Spam Quarantine via LDAP are as follows:

On the ESA, choose System Administration > LDAP > LDAP Server Profile page.

Click Add LDAP Server Profile.

Enter a name for the profile and click Submit.

Click Add Query.

Enter a name for the query and click Submit.

Configure the query settings, such as server address, port number, base DN, scope, filter, and attributes.

Check the Spam Quarantine End-User Authentication Query check box. This is the suboption that enables LDAP authentication for end users who access the spam quarantine.

Check the Designate as the active query check box. This is the suboption that specifies which query to use for end-user authentication. Only one query can be active at a time.

Click Submit and commit changes.

On the ESA, choose Monitor > Spam Quarantine > End-User Quarantine Access.

Check the Enable End-User Quarantine Access check box.

Choose LDAP from the End-User Authentication drop-down list.

Select the LDAP profile and query that you created earlier from the drop-down lists.

Click Submit and commit changes.

According to the [Cisco Secure Email User Guide], you can create a text resource of type Disclaimer Template and use the code view option to insert HTML code into the text box. Then, you can use this text resource in a content filter to prepend or append the HTML message to the email body[1, p. 15-16].

The other options are not valid because:

A. Creating a text resource type of Disclaimer Template and pasting the HTML code into the text box without changing to code view will not work, as the HTML code will be treated as plain text and not rendered properly[1, p. 15].

C. Creating a text resource type of Notification Template and pasting the HTML code into the text box will not work, as Notification Templates are used for sending notifications to senders or recipients, not for modifying the email body[1, p. 17].

D. Creating a text resource type of Notification Template and changing to code view to paste the HTML code into the text box will not work, as Notification Templates are used for sending notifications to senders or recipients, not for modifying the email body[1, p. 17].

Overview of File Reputation Filtering and File Analysis:

Advanced Malware Protection protects against zero-day and targeted file-based threats in email attachments by:

-Obtaining the reputation of known files.

-Analyzing behavior of certain files that are not yet known to the reputation service.

-Continuously evaluating emerging threats as new information becomes available, and notifying you about files that are determined to be threats after they have entered your network.

-This feature is available for incoming messages and outgoing messages.
