Resolution

The best solution is to submit the mail as a false positive using the instructions here: https://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO77719

If there are time constraints, a temporary measure to make sure mail is able to be sent exists.

1. In the Control Center, click on the Administration tab.
2. Go to Users -> Policy Groups in the left column.
3. Check the group you wish to edit, then click the Edit button above.
4. Click the Spam tab in the Policy Group settings.
5. Remove the checkmark from "Enable outbound spam and unwanted email scanning for this policy group".
6. Click the Save button at the bottom.

This process may take some time to make its way through the scanners.
