Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a global antispam filter under the [edit security utm] hierarchy.
Why it's wrong here
Junos UTM does not support global untargeted feature application without security policy binding.
- ✓
Attach an antispam-enabled UTM policy exclusively to the security policy permitting SMTP traffic from the untrusted zone to the mail server.
Why this is correct
Restricting the UTM policy to the specific security policy ensures antispam inspection applies only to that traffic path.
- ✗
Apply the antispam profile directly to the egress interface facing the mail server.
Why it's wrong here
UTM profiles cannot be attached to interfaces.
- ✗
Enable antispam globally within the system services configuration.
Why it's wrong here
There is no system services antispam toggle.
