To configure additional setup options

   If you choose not to automatically restart the Exchange Transport Service after installation, you must do so manually. Otherwise, Mail Security does not function properly.

2. In the Web Service Setup panel, do one of the following:

   • Click Next to accept the default values.

   • Modify the following settings, and then click Next:

   IP/Name	By default, the computer name resolves to the primary external network identification card (NIC). You can also use an IP address. The IP address validates the availability of the port.
   Port #	By default, port 8081 is the port number for the Web service that Mail Security uses. A different default port number appears if port 8081 is being used by another application. Use a port number that is not used by another application if you change the port number. You should not use port 80. The default Web service uses port 80 and IIS hosts this port.

3. In the Notification Email Address panel, do one of the following to specify the email address from which email notifications are sent and to which notifications to the administrator are sent:

   • Click Next to accept the default value.

     The default value is: Administrator

   • Modify the originator email address, and then click Next.

     The Edge Transport server does not have access to Active Directory, so abbreviated email addresses cannot be resolved. If you want to install Mail Security on the Edge Transport server role, type a fully qualified email address (for example, [email protected]).

   You can modify the address after installation is complete.

   See Configuring notification settings for scan violations
