Lab Setup
In a production environment, Trend Micro™ recommends that you run InterScan™
Messaging Security Suite (InterScan MSS) on a dedicated server. To conserve resources in
this lab, however, you will have only one server. Consequently, you will install InterScan
MSS on the same server that is running Microsoft® Exchange® 2003. You will also run
Microsoft Outlook® on the same server.
Lab Server Configuration
Your lab server is connected to a LAN that includes all the other students’ servers and the
instructor’s server as shown in the following diagram:

Activity 1: Configuring SMTP Routing Settings
In this activity, you will configure the SMTP routing settings for the following scenario:
Scenario
You were recently hired as the network administrator for an international company. When
you met with your boss for the first time, she explained two problems with the company’s
email system:
•
Two months ago a spam sender used your company’s SMTP server to relay spam,
making it appear as if your company was sending the spam. Your company traced the
spam sender to the email address [email protected] and the IP address
155.155.1.1.
•
The IS department has received complaints because employees have to wait too long
for email messages to be delivered. Employees have also complained because they are
not notified that a message cannot be delivered until the next day.
In addition to these problems, the company recently merged with another company.
Because the company does not have enough resources to reconfigure the email systems for
both companies, you will have to maintain separate domains for each company. However,
your boss wants you to ensure that email is routed efficiently between the two companies.
Your boss also wants the email messages sent by both companies to appear as if they
originate from superdealscompany.com—the new name for the merged companies.
For the purposes of this lab, assume that your lab partner is the network administrator for
the company that was acquired. If you have not already done so, ask your lab partner for the
domain name and the IP address of his or her server. You will use this information to
configure InterScan MSS.

In this activity, you will determine the order in which policies should be executed for the
following scenarios.
•
You create a policy that blocks all email messages that contain sexual and racial terms.
You then create a policy that allows your company’s Human Resources department to
receive email messages that contain information about sexual and racial discrimination.
Which policy should be executed first? How can you ensure that this policy is executed
first?
•
You create a policy for the Marketing department. As part of this policy, you create a
filter to delay the delivery of messages that are larger than 5 MB. You then create a
policy for the Graphics department, which is part of the Marketing department. This
policy immediately delivers messages that are larger than 5 MB. Which policy should
be executed first? How can you ensure that this policy is executed first?

Lab Exercise 5: Configuring the
Spam Prevention Service
Activity 1: Creating a Text Exemption Rule
In this activity, you will create a text exemption rule for the following scenario, and you
will test this rule.
Scenario
You are using the Heuristic Spam Filter (SPS) to identify spam messages entering your
company’s email system. However, some messages that your company’s Human Resources
department sends are getting tagged as spam. Each week the Human Resources department
sends an email that features discounts or coupons for local stores. These email messages
contain the word opportunity in the subject line. To ensure that these messages are not
tagged as spam you will create a text exemption rule.
1. Prevent the Heuristic Spam Filter (SPS) in the Global Policy from being
overwritten by a subpolicy.
1.1. In the left-hand column of the InterScan MSS Web console, click Policy
Manager | Global Policy. The Global Policy screen appears.
1.2. Click the Filter Availability and Status edit button for Heuristic Spam Filter
(SPS). The Heuristic Spam Filter window appears.

marketing. The file is real spam, however, and will be detected by
the SPS filters.
3.2. Check the inbox of your Outlook email account. The email that your lab
partner sent you was tagged as spam.
3.3. View the header information to determine why the email was tagged as spam.

Activity 4: Tuning the Heuristic Spam Filter (SPS)
In this activity, you will tune the settings for the Make Money Fast category in the Heuristic
Spam Filter (SPS). To test the various settings, you will send and receive sample email
messages that fall within the Make Money Fast category. You will then examine the Spam
Scores that the SPS scanning engine generates for these email messages.
Although this activity focuses on the Make Money Fast category, the tuning principles
apply to all of the SPS categories.
aNote: Because the SPS scanning engine is updated regularly, the
scores that you see as you complete this activity may differ from
those displayed in the text.

Right-click the Spam02 email and select Options. In the Internet
Headers box, scroll down the headers to view the X-imss-scores.
2.3.3.
Right-click the Spam03 email and select Options. In the Internet
Headers box, scroll down the headers to view the X-imss-scores.
The Spam03 email was flagged as spam because its Spam Score (0.200) is greater than its
Baseline Score (0.0136). Spam01 and Spam02 were not flagged because their Spam Scores
(0.200) are less than their Baseline Scores (0.3723 and 0.0319, respectively).
To calculate the Spam Score, the SPS scanning engine multiplies the Baseline Multiplier by
the Sensitivity Multiplier. In this case, with the Baseline detection rate set at Conservative
(2) and the Make Money Fast Additional sensitivity rate set to Low (2), the Spam Score at
these settings is 0.200. Tables 5-1 and 5-1 show the various multipliers that the SPS
scanning engine uses.

•
If you were to set the Baseline detection rate to 4 - Moderately aggressive and the
Make Money Fast additional sensitivity rate to 4 -High, would Spam01 be flagged as
spam? Why or why not? Use the Baseline and Sensitivity Multipliers to support your
answers (see Tables 5-1 and 5-2). Set the detection rate as described and send Spam01
to test your answer.
•
If you were to set the Baseline detection rate to 5 - Aggressive and the Make Money
Fast additional sensitivity rate to 1 - Lowest, would Spam01 be flagged as spam? Set
the detection rates as described and send Spam01.
•
If you were to set the detection rates to 5 - Aggressive and 2 – Low, would Spam01 be
flagged as spam? Set the detection rates as described and send Spam01.
•
Using the Baseline and Sensitivity Multipliers, determine the minimum settings that
would flag Spam02 as spam (see Tables 5-1 and 5-2). Set the detection rates as
described and send Spam02 to test your answer.
•

An opportunity for you 01
Hi,
My name is Colin Buttweiler and I would like to share a genuine
opportunity with you. Sceptical already?
Unlike other internet offers that you might have seen, what I have to
share with you invites close scrutiny - even with a sceptical eye. It is
first and foremost a chance to get to know people.
It also offers you the ability to have a share of a new Internet Mall to buy
inexpensively for yourself or to send others to and make commissions on their
purchases.
Besides this, it also offers a unique and innovative networking program
using a principle we call "REFERNET". It is a credible and realistic way
to save and gradually develop what can become a large, ongoing income.
The best thing about this? You can "try it first".
That's right. You can join the DHS Club with no risk or obligation.
As a DHS Club Member, you will be able to shop at The DHS Club Outlet
Centre. You will also be able to shop at The Club Shop Stores, located in
the ClubShop Mall, where you will receive rebates on your purchases as per
our affinity agreements. (Just remember, our affiliate stores are
independent merchants and shipping charges will vary.)
You will also be able be entered into Post launch and receive a
position in the Club's network. Watch as others join your downline and see
how our innovative network building program works.

I look forward to hearing from you and sharing in your accomplishments and your
achievements.

Get Rich, Like Donald Trump-02
Mega-millionaire Donald Trump was a guest one evening
on a television talk show when he was asked,
"What would you do if you lost all of your money?"
Trump didn't pause. "I'd find a good multi-level-marketing program
and get back to work."
The audience didn't understand his answer... and they also
didn't like it. Some of them booed.
Trump didn't bat an eye. "That," he said, "is why I'm
sitting up here ... and you're sitting out there ...
Just another face in the crowd."
Please read the following to see how to get started.
if you're busy right now, put it aside until you have some
free time. Then read it, and then read it again!

Appendix C: Sample Spam Messages
You're not going to be sent to some website where they slowly
milk you for your money and you end up with nothing in return.
All you need is in this letter so let's go to work.
This e-mail is about a multi-level-marketing (MLM) program that
can change your life, and it's so very simple that absolutely
anyone can do it.
This e-mail "yes, THIS ONE" can make you a lot of
money just like it's been doing for others all around the world!
Here's how...
First, this is a business. As I said, it's called
Multi-Level-Marketing, that deals with E-books.
An E-book is a book that is downloadable, or in this case,
information that is sent by EMAIL.
Your product is information; in this case, five written E-books
explaining in detail "how to" market, advertise and sell on the
internet.
It is a very simple, perfectly legal and a most enjoyable
free enterprise.
If you decide to participate, you'll have a lot of fun, and, even
more importantly, you can make a lot of money.
And you can do it again, over and over, as often as
you like!
How it works, and how you work it.
Follow the instructions exactly. Don't change anything, other than
 2003 Trend Micro Incorporated
111
Trend Micro InterScan MSS Lab Textbook
those things you're TOLD to change. This program works "as is,"
so if you try to improve on it by switching or inventing names you'll
be out of business before you begin. The program works, people are
making lots of money with it, and it's a success. Don't mess with success!
When you decide to participate, the first thing you'll do is spend $25
of your own money. You take five $5 bills, US currency, and you buy the
five separate "E-books" listed further along in this e-mail.
These "E-books" you will order by sending $5 to each of 5 persons,
by "snail mail".
The "E-books" will then be delivered to you by e-mail.
Scroll down to locate the five "E-books." For each E-book, write
on a sheet of paper the name and number of the E-book,
request in writing that it be sent to you, and legibly write your
e-mail address.
Wrap the $5 bill in that sheet of paper, put it in an envelope,
seal it, address it to the person listed for that E-book and drop
it in the nearest mailbox.
When you have finished ordering the five "E-books," and only AFTER
those orders are in the mail, return to the list and remove the name
& address of the person in E-book #5. This person has made it through
the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune.
Then, move the name & address in E-book #4 down to E-book #5.
Next, move the name & address in E-book #3 down to E-book #4.
And move the name & address in E-book #2 down to E-book #3.
Move the name & address in E-book #1 down to E-book #2.
And then, insert YOUR name & address in the E-book #1 Position.
Once again, save this email, make a back-up copy and then go on
112
 2003 Trend Micro Incorporated
Appendix C: Sample Spam Messages
about your normal business.
Within a few days you will have received all five
"E-books." As promised, you'll find each contains
information about marketing on the internet.
Down-to-earth, practical information you're about to use.
Save the five "E-books" on your computer, and make another backup.
The "E-books" are your stock-in-trade, and, as such, are invaluable.
You are not only going to benefit from the knowledge they contain;
more to the point, you are going to sell them, over and over, and
they can make you quite rich.

I know that's an incredible statement, but bear with me while I
explain. You have already deleted mail from dozens of "Get Rich
Quick" schemes, chain letter offers, and LOTS of other
absurd scams that promise to make you rich overnight with no
investment and no work.
My offer isn't one of those. What I'm offering is a
straightforward computer-based service that you can run full-or
part-time like a regular business. This service runs automatically
while you sleep, vacation, or work a "regular" job.
It provides a valuable new service for businesses in your area.
I'm offering a high-tech, low-maintenance, work-from-anywhere
business that can bring in a nice comfortable additional income
for your family. I did it for eight years. Since I started
