When you accept the default settings for the system setup wizard, which two outgoing policies are disabled? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ARecipient access table
• BMessage filters
• CAntispam
• DContent filters

• A
  7% (3)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  88% (36)

Explanation

When using default settings in the system setup wizard (common in email security appliances like Cisco ESA), outgoing mail policies disable Antispam (C) and Content Filters (D) because internal senders are implicitly trusted - scanning outbound mail for spam or policy violations is not enabled out of the box, leaving those features for administrators to manually activate.

Why A is wrong: The Recipient Access Table (RAT) governs which recipients the system accepts mail for - it's an inbound mail control mechanism, not an outgoing policy feature that gets toggled during wizard setup.

Why B is wrong: Message Filters are a foundational mail-processing component applied at the message listener level; they are not among the policies explicitly disabled in the default outgoing mail policy configuration.

Memory tip: Think "Spam and Content = Switched off for senders" - the two features focused on scanning content for threats (Antispam, Content Filters) are disabled outbound by default, while structural controls like RAT and Message Filters remain active. The answer letters C and D also conveniently fall after A and B, just as outbound scanning is a secondary (later) concern compared to inbound controls.
