Configuring the email analysis timeout using the CLI

To determine the best timeout period value for your business needs, you can use the show email-analysis statistics command to view the total number of email messages that have timed-out. If you decrease the timeout period value, the number of timed out emails increases.

  1. Enable the CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Configure the email analysis timeout period. The timeout value is in minutes. Valid values are between 1 and 90.

    hostname (config) # email-analysis policy timeout <minutes>
  3. To reset the email analysis timeout to the default period (60 minutes):

    hostname (config) # email-analysis policy timeout default
  4. Save your changes.

    hostname (config) # write memory
