Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery Email Inspector™ stops sophisticated targeted attacks and cyber threats by scanning, simulating, and analyzing suspicious links and attachments in email messages before they can threaten your network. Designed to integrate into your existing email network topology, Deep Discovery Email Inspector can act as a Mail Transfer Agent in the mail traffic flow or as an out-of-band appliance silently monitoring your network for cyber threats and unwanted spam messages.

7.1. Unable to Receive Email Messages from Other IPv6 Subnets if "Hosts in the same address class" is Enabled
Problem: Deep Discovery Email Inspector cannot receive incoming emails messages from other IPv6 subnets if the "Hosts in the same address class" option is enabled on the Administration > Mail Settings > Limits and Exceptions screen.
7.2. Duplicate Time Value Appears on Widgets after Daylight Savings Time Changes to Standard Time
Problem: After daylight savings time changes to standard time on Deep Discovery Email Inspector, a duplicate time value appears on widgets.
7.3. Unable to Capture ISL-Encapsulated VLAN Traffic in SPAN/TAP Mode
Problem: While operating in SPAN/TAP mode, Deep Discovery Email Inspector cannot capture VLAN traffic that is encapsulated by Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol.
7.4. Virtual Analyzer Unable to Import Images from FTP Servers in Active Mode
Problem: Deep Discovery Email Inspector is unable to import Virtual Analyzer images from an FTP server in active mode. Deep Discovery Email Inspector security does not allow this type of connection.
Solution: Trend Micro recommends using FTP servers in passive mode, or importing the Virtual Analyzer images through another method.
7.5. Limited Support for Email Messages in Non-Standard Formats
Problem: Deep Discovery Email Inspector cannot read the subject of email messages in non-standard formats.
Solution: Trend Micro recommends only routing standard-formatted email messages. Most mail user agents cannot read email messages in non-standard formats.
7.6. Limits to Changing Time Format
Problem: Time format in the following pages cannot be changed if "Date and time format" in System Settings > Time page is changed 1) "Last updated" time of each widget in "Dashboard > Add Widgets”, 2) "Last update" time in widget preview screenshot, 3) Time in email screenshot in "Detection" details, 4) "Custom range" in Detections > Sender Filtering
Solution: 1. For “Last updated” time of each widget, it was a limitation of the widget framework used in Deep Discovery Email Inspector to show time in a corresponding format. 2. For "Last update" time in the widget preview screenshot, it is not possible to be changed due to the fact that the preview screenshot is a picture. 3. For the time shown in the email screenshot, it was created by the third-party email client. It depends on locale to show proper time format, not the user-defined time format. 4. For "Custom range" in Detections > Sender Filtering , the date and time field is for both information display and data query. It is recommended not to display the time in the corresponding format.
7.7. Limitation When There Are More than 60 URLs in One Email
Problem: Some risky URLs in an email may not be rewritten to be a link redirected to blocking or warning page, even if the same URLs have been rewritten, if there are more than 60 URLs in an email.
Solution: Deep Discovery Email Inspector will at most extract 60 URLs from an email for scanning by default. If some of the URLs were scanned have a risk, they will be rewritten to a link that can redirect to a blocking or warning page. If the number of URLs in the email exceeds 60, some of URLs will not be rewritten due to the fact that they were not extracted by Deep Discovery Email Inspector.
7.8. Issue with Password-Protected Office PowerPoint 2003 Files
Problem: Deep Discovery Email Inspector cannot scan password-protected Office PowerPoint 2003 files.
Solution: The encryption of Office PowerPoint 2003 files is different from later versions, and this format cannot be decrypted.
7.9. Query Limits Based on Settings
Problem: If the user enables "Connect to Smart Protection Server for Web Reputation Services" in the "Administration > Scanning / Analysis > Other Settings > Smart Protection" page, the internal Virtual Analyzer will not run the URL block reason query, Census query or the Certified Safe Software Service query. Additionally, it will not provide Smart Feedback.
Solution: This is the configuration of the internal Virtual Analyzer. The user can either disable “Connect to Smart Protection for Web Reputation Services” in the "Administration > Scanning / Analysis > Other Settings > Smart Protection" page or enable both “Connect to Smart Protection Server for Web Reputation Services” and “Connect to global services using Smart Protection Server” in the "Administration > Scanning / Analysis > Other Settings > Smart Protection" page.
7.10. Inconsistent Risk Levels When Integrated with Deep Discovery Analyzer
Problem: When integrated with Deep Discovery Analyzer, the final risk level of a malicious URL in Deep Discovery Email Inspector is different with the risk level in Deep Discovery Analyzer.
Solution: Deep Discovery Analyzer can support several different products with varying risk levels, so for Deep Discovery Email Inspector, the risk level for malicious URLs returned by Virtual Analyzer (no matter whether either internal Virtual Analyzer or Deep Discovery Analyzer) will be downgraded one level.
7.11. Naming Issues with Duplicate Email Attachments
Problem: For the same email attachment which has a different file name, after being analyzed by Deep Discovery Analyzer, the analysis reports for the two attachments will have the same file name.
Solution: As the current specification of Deep Discovery Analyzer, it will return the cached analysis result for the same files or URLs to Deep Discovery Email Inspector.
7.12. Duplicate Icons with Microsoft IE10 and Edge
Problem: Under Microsoft Edge and IE10, there will be two delete icons at the end of "Search" box in "Dashboard > Add Widgets" page.
Solution: Microsoft IE10 and Edge will create a delete icon for "Search" box by default. However Widget Framework has already created another delete icon.
7.13. When Logging into the Control Manager Web Console Using the HTTP Protocol, Single-Sign-On from Control Manager to Deep Discovery Email Inspector Will Not Work
Problem: Under the current specifications of Deep Discovery Email Inspector, Single-Sign-On from Control Manager is not supported under the HTTP protocol.
Solution: Log into the Control Manager web console using HTTPS protocol.
7.14. Display Issue When Using CLISH to Configure Default Gateway Settings
Problem: If the default gateway is configured on a network interface other than eth0 using CLISH, the web console does not display the current default gateway and DNS settings.
7.15. IP Address Display Issue with Network Services Diagnostics in Dual-Stack Network
Problem: If Web Reputation Service and Community File Reputation are unreachable using IPv4 addresses in a dual-stack network, the Administration > System Maintenance > Network Services Diagnostics screen still displays the final resolved IPv4 addresses for these services.
7.16. Analysis Performance Issue in Virtual Analyzer
Problem: When performing sandbox analysis using a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 image that requires higher system resources, the performance of Deep Discovery Email Inspector may be affected.
Solution: Due to the system resource requirements of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 environments, Trend Micro recommends you contact Technical Support to evaluate the system load capacity on Deep Discovery Email Inspector before using a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 sandbox environment for analysis.
7.17. Display Issue When a Message Contains Multiple Suspicious Attachments With the Same SHA1 Value
Problem: When a message contains more than one suspicious file attachment with the same SHA1 value, the Detections screen displays only one entry for the multiple file attachments.
7.18. Limitation When Connecting to a Proxy Server with Multiple HTTP Authentication Methods
Problem: When Deep Discovery Email Inspector connects to a proxy server that supports multiple HTTP authentication methods, some services (except ActiveUpdate and product license registration) may not function properly. On the Network Services Diagnostics screen, the service status becomes Unsuccessful.
7.19. Issue with Sending End-User Quarantine Digest Notifications
Problem: When the "Use SMTP server for EUQ authentication" option is enabled on the Administration > End-User Quarantine > EUQ Settings page and the "Enable EUQ digest notifications" option is enabled on the Administration > End-User Quarantine > EUQ Digest page, Deep Discovery Email Inspector may send EUQ digest notifications to email groups instead of to individual recipients. Deep Discover Email Inspector is unable to determine if quarantined messages are intended for individual recipients or a group of recipients.
Solution: On the Administration > End-User Quarantine > EUQ Settings page, select the "Use SMTP server for EUQ authentication" option and add domains that contain only individual email addresses.
