What happens when the F-Secure Messaging Security Gateway (MSG) license has expired or been deactivated? Will emails be blocked or bypass the MSG appliance?
Resolution:
In the event that the MSG license has expired or been deactivated, for license migration purposes. The appliance itself will keep functioning:
- Mails will not be blocked, mail will flow normally
- The appliance will not receive Anti-Virus or spam-definitions
- Some modules will not be accessible, for example Smart Search and Encryption
- Current rules in place will still be applied
