Test Filtered Mail Flow 45
Test Filtered Mail Flow
After confirming that your domain’s MX records are pointing to servers at the
message security service, verify that mail sent to your domain is being routed
through these servers and filtered. In this step, you run a test that sends a test
message from an outside source, through the message security service, and to
your server.
To test filtered mail flow, follow these steps:
1. Return to the SMTP Message Test page.
• From the MX Record Test page, click your browser’s Back button to return
to the System Tests page. Then click SMTP Message Test link.
• Or from the Administration Console home page, click the SMTP Message
Test link at the left of the page.
2. On the SMTP Message Test page, enter your administrator email address,
and select the first radio button option: “Test mailflow through the data center.”
You must enter the administrator address you logged in with.
