SMTP Security Administration

Use the SMTP Security Administration page to control incoming and outgoing SMTP/MIME messages, either by domain name or by network address. You can use this page to add new entries, view and modify existing entries, and delete entries.

Note: You can use the Blocked and Allowed lists together to provide the specific functionality you need. For example, you can use the Blocked list to block all incoming SMTP/MIME messages from *.com and then use the Allowed list to still allow incoming SMTP/MIME messages from mycompany.com. You can also use the Domain and Range methods together. For example, if a subscriber record exists on the system for [email protected] (with a network address of 5478265555), you can use the Domain method to block all outgoing SMTP/MIME messages to *company*.com and use the Range method to still allow outgoing messages to 5478265555 ([email protected]).

This page contains the following fields.

Display/Allowed Blocked Lists per: Select the method for which you want to view, add, modify, or delete SMTP security entries. When you select the method, a table displays any existing entries for the selected method, including the range (if the Range method is selected, domain name (if Domain method is selected), direction (either Incoming or Outgoing), and the disposition (either Blocked or Allowed).

Start: If you selected the Range method, type the first network address for which you want to block or allow SMTP messages.

End: If you selected the Range method, type the last network address for which you want block or allow SMTP messages. To specify an individual address, type the same network address that you entered in the Start field.
