  4. WatchGuard XCS Outlook SecureMail Add-in • The Send SecureMail button performs just like the default Outlook Send button, but adds a X-XCS-SecureMail mail header to the outgoing message to indicate that the message must be encrypted by the WatchGuard XCS device before it is sent to its destination. • To support the Outlook SecureMail Add-in and SecureMail Encryption, there are two default Pattern Filters that you must enable in your XCS configuration. • These pattern filters check for: • [SecureMail] text in the subject header so that end users can manually enter this text into the subject field to indicate that a message should be encrypted. • X-XCS-SecureMail text in the mail header from the Outlook Add-in to indicate that the message should be encrypted. • The encryption is performed by the WatchGuard XCS SecureMail feature, and no encryption is performed on the Outlook client.

  7. New Intercept Anti-Spam Decision Strategy • A new Adaptive Intercept Decision Strategy is available. • Currently, Heuristic 1 is used as the initial default strategy to compensate for the initial spam and legitimate mail training period. • When a suitable amount of training is accumulated, you can switch to Heuristic 2 to provide more aggressive anti-spam scanning using the database of trained spam and legitimate mail based on the types of messages you receive in your environment. • The Adaptive strategy combines the strengths of both the Heuristic 1 and Heuristic 2 strategies by automatically adjusting the scanning aggressiveness based on the amount of trained mail. .
