23+

24+
- **Forwarding address**: This is your mail flow next hope after Email Security. This value is auto-filled, but you can still change it.
25+

26+
1. **Forward all messages over TLS** (recommended).
27+
2. **Forward all messages using opportunistic TLS**.
28+

With pre-delivery deployment, also known as Inline deployment, Email Security evaluates email messages before they reach a user's inbox.
9+
10+
Email Security becomes a hop in the SMTP processing chain and physically interacts with incoming email messages. Based on your policies, various messages are blocked before reaching the inbox.
11+
12+
When you choose an inline deployment, you get the following benefits:
13+
14+
- Messages are processed and physically blocked before delivery to a user's mailbox.
15+
- Your deployment is simpler, because any complex processing can happen downstream and without modification.
16+
- Email Security can modify delivered messages, adding subject or body mark-ups.
17+
- Email Security can offer high availability and adaptive message pooling.
18+
- You can set up advanced handling downstream for non-quarantined messages with added X-headers.
