Explanation

To prevent users from accessing malicious or undesired external content via URLs in email, two features are needed: (D) URL Filtering directly inspects URLs embedded in email messages, categorizes them, and can block, rewrite, or warn users about links pointing to malicious or policy-violating sites. (A) Antispam Scanning also evaluates URLs as part of its spam and phishing detection heuristics, using reputation data (e.g., from Cisco Talos) to identify messages containing links to known bad domains. Together, these two features provide layered URL-based protection. DLP (B) focuses on outbound sensitive data, not URL access control. Graymail (C) handles bulk/marketing email. Antivirus (E) scans file attachments, not embedded URLs.
