 Allowlists are lists of email addresses, hosts, and IP addresses whose messages you wish to exempt from a number of security restrictions. Heuristics and Bayesian, DNSBL, DKIM Verification, and almost every other Security feature in SecurityGateway has the option to exempt senders, hosts, messages, and so on if they appear on the appropriate allowlist. Each allowlist can be set as global or domain specific, and, although items are typically added to allowlists one at a time, each allowlist has an import feature, which allows you to use a comma separated values (CSV) file to add multiple items at once. Finally, each list also has an export feature, which allows you to save the contents of the allowlist to a CSV file. There are three types of allowlists, all of which can be set globally and for specific domains:
|
Addresses Allowlist - Use this allowlist to exempt messages that are from specific email addresses.
Host Allowlist - This allowlist is used to exempt specific hosts from designated security restrictions, and to exempt messages based on the specific hosts delivering them (e.g. mail.example.com, smtp.example.net, and so on).
IP Allowlist - The IP Allowlist exempts specific IP addresses from designated security restrictions, and exempts messages based on the IP address of the host attempting to send them.
