You can deploy Email Security via:
8
+
Before you start the onboarding process, you will have to choose a deployment path. Email Security provides two deployment modes: [post-delivery](/cloudflare-one/email-security/setup/) (for API and BCC/Journaling), and [pre-delivery](/cloudflare-one/email-security/setup/#pre-delivery-deployment) (for MX/Inline).
-[Synchronize a directory](/cloudflare-one/email-security/directories/).
18
-
- Auto pull EMLs for [reclassification](/cloudflare-one/email-security/email-monitoring/search-email/#reclassify-messages) whose disposition is "None".
19
-
- Manually move messages to different inboxes.
14
+
When you choose post-delivery, Cloudflare scans emails **after** they reach a users' inbox.
20
15
21
-
With Microsoft Graph API and BCC/Journaling, Cloudflare scans emails after they reach a users' inbox. MX/Inline instead scans emails before they reach users' inbox.
16
+
If you are a Microsoft 365 user, this is done via Microsoft's Graph API or journaling.

## Microsoft Graph API
18
+
If you are a Google Workspace or Microsoft Exchange user, this is done via BCC.
24

25
-
When you deploy Email Security via Microsoft Graph API, you authorize Email Security to scan domains via your email provider credentials.

### Why you should consider post-delivery deployment
26
21
27
-
When you deploy Email Security via Microsoft Graph API:
22
+
Post-delivery deployment is time-efficient, because it does not involve MX changes. Post-delivery deployment does not disrupt mail flow. Post-delivery deployment allows you to enable [auto-move events](/cloudflare-one/email-security/auto-moves/), quarantine your messages, and synchronize your [directory](/cloudflare-one/email-security/directories/) when you use Microsoft Graph API.
28
23
29
-
- You authorize Email Security to scan domains via your email provider credentials.
30
-
- Microsoft Graph API requires minimal configuration effort.
31
-
- Your email inbox is moderately protected.
32
-
- Email Security gets API access into your tenant.
24
+
:::note
25
+
When you choose post-delivery deployment:
26
+
- The threat is removed **after** receipt.
27
+
- Post-delivery requires API scopes, or journaling rule configuration.
28
+
- Auto-move is not available in BCC/Journaling paths.

When you deploy Email Security via BCC/Journaling:
33
+
### How it works
37
34
38
-
- You send messages to Email Security via BCC or Journaling configurations within your email provider.
- Your email inbox has the lowest level of protection.
41
-
- Email Security receives copies of your email.
35
+
When you choose pre-delivery, Cloudflare scans emails **before** they reach a users' inbox. The MX record points to Cloudflare.

##MX/Inline
37
+
### Why you should consider pre-delivery deployment
44
38
45
-
When you deploy Email Security via MX/Inline:
39
+
Pre-delivery deployment provides the highest level of protection. It enforces [bannering](/cloudflare-one/email-security/detection-settings/configure-text-add-ons/) or link rewrite at delivery.
46
40
47
-
- You send messages to Email Security to scan before they reach your users' inbox. You may need to update your MX records.
- Your email inbox has the highest level of protection.
50
-
- Email Security has partial access to your mail stream.
41
+
Pre-delivery blocks threats in transit, and it adds banners or texts before the user views the email.
51
42
52
-
With MX/Inline, you will not be able to auto-move emails.
43
+
:::note
44
+
When you choose pre-delivery deployment:
45
+
- You must edit MX records or create a connector.
46
+
- You can enable auto-move events only once you associate an integration.
47
+
- Cloudflare [egress IPs](/cloudflare-one/email-security/setup/pre-delivery-deployment/egress-ips/) are allowed on downstream servers.

### Associate an integration

##Dispositions
55
51
56
-
To associate an integration:
52
+
Email traffic that flows through Email Security is given a final disposition, which represents Email Security's evaluation of that specific message. Refer to [Dispositions and attributes](/cloudflare-one/email-security/reference/dispositions-and-attributes/) to learn more.
57
53
58
-
1. Log in to [Zero Trust](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/) > **Email Security**.
59
-
2. Go to **Settings** and locate your domain.
60
-
3. Select the three dots > **Associate an integration**.
61
-
4. Select the integration you want to associate, then select **Associate**.
54
+
Dispositions allow you to configure policies and tune reporting. For example, you can configure a policy to move suspicious emails to your junk folder.

To enable post-delivery response and phish submission response:

## Impersonation registry
64
57
65
-
1. Go to **Settings** > **Moves**.
66
-
2. Go to **Auto-moves**, select **View** > **Configure**.
67
-
3. Select **Post-delivery response (Recommended)** and **Phish submission response (Recommended)**.
68
-
4. Select **Save**.

Most Business Email Compromise targets executives or finance roles. You must add addresses of roles who are likely to be impersonated. Refer to [Impersonation registry](/cloudflare-one/email-security/detection-settings/impersonation-registry/) to learn how to add a user to the impersonation registry.
59
+
60
+
Roles you may to include in the impersonation registry are:
61
+
62
+
- C-suites
63
+
- Finance roles
64
+
- HR
65
+
- IT help-desk.
66
+
67
+
You should review your impersonation registry on a quarterly basis as roles change.

## Reclassifications
70
+
71
+
A reclassification is a change to an email's disposition **after** initial scanning. It is Cloudflare's built-in feedback loop for correcting false positives/negatives **and** training the detection models to get smarter over time. Security teams and end users can make a reclassification. Refer to [Reclassify messages](/cloudflare-one/email-security/email-monitoring/search-email/#reclassify-messages) to learn more.
72
+
73
+
### Why you should reclassify messages
74
+
75
+
Reclassifications are critical because:
76
+
77
+
-**They help improve model accuracy**: Every validated reclassification teaches Cloudflare's machine learning to recognise new lures, language, infrastructure and benign patterns.
78
+
-**They reduce alert fatigue**: Correcting *Suspicious* or *Spam* emails that users actually want tailors detections to your organization, cutting noise in the dashboard.
79
+
-**They close the remediation loop**: When a disposition is upgraded to Malicious, Cloudflare auto-moves those emails out of every inbox (Graph API or Google Workspace API integrations).
80
+
-**They can help you log activity taken on any reclassification**: Each reclassification displays a submission ID, details about original, requested and final dispositions, and more. Refer to [Reclassify messages](/cloudflare-one/email-security/email-monitoring/search-email/#reclassify-messages) to learn more about reclassifications.
81
+
82
+
To make the most of reclassifications:
83
+
84
+
1. Review reclassifications on a weekly basis.
85
+
2. Ensure you have an integration associated with any MX/Inline deployment. When you associate an integration, you will not need to upload the EMLs every time, and we can use APIs to receive a copy of your email messages.
86
+
3. Investigate any increase in [user submissions](/cloudflare-one/email-security/email-monitoring/search-email/#user-submissions) (users may have found a phish that bypassed filters) and confirm that analyst-final dispositions align with your policies.
87
+
88
+
A correct use of reclassifications ensures that Email Security delivers a stronger protection with less manual tuning.
