Explanation

On the Cisco IronPort Email Security Appliance (ESA), running the system setup wizard with default settings automatically enables Outbreak Filters (A), IronPort Anti-Spam (C), and Anti-Virus (G) for incoming mail, and it configures the Host Access Table (E) and Recipient Access Table (F) to control who can send to and receive mail. Content Filters (B) and Message Filters (D) are the two that are not applied, because both require manual creation - Content Filters must be built within Mail Policies, and Message Filters must be written as custom rule-based scripts; neither exists until an administrator explicitly creates them.

The distractors (A, C, E, F, G) are wrong because the wizard provisions all of them automatically as part of baseline protection and access control. Think of it this way: the wizard handles the "out-of-the-box" defenses (spam, virus, outbreak, and access tables), but anything requiring a human to write custom logic - Content filters and Message filters - must be Crafted Manually. Use the mnemonic "CM = Custom Manual" to remember that Content and Message filters are the two exceptions.
