How to Deploy the Milter MTA Agent

This section describes how to deploy the Milter MTA agent and the policy engine hub.

The key deployment tasks are:

1. Deploy your policy engines.

   We recommend you do this before deploying your email server agent. This is described in Deploy policy engines.

2. Deploy the Socket API and a policy engine hub.

   The Milter MTA agent uses these components to pass Sendmail or Postfix emails to policy engines for processing.

3. Deploy the Milter MTA agent.

   Briefly, you must:

   1. Specify the Milter user account.
   2. Configur Sendmail or Postfix.
   3. Install the Milter MTA agent.
   4. Configure the Milter MTA agent.
4. Turn on Sendmail or Postfix integration.

   To enable the agent and turn on integration, you edit a configuration parameter in wgnmilter.conf.

   Important! You must enable CA DLP email server agents in order to start email processing. By default, the agents are disabled when first deployed.
