Email Filtering Policies Email Protection Administrator Guide Allow/Deny List Type User-level Deny Lists and Allow Lists Recipient Shield List Description Maintained by you and/or the user, Deny lists indicate sender addresses from which email is denied automatically. Allow lists indicate sender addresses from which email is allowed without spam filtering (all other enabled filtering will be applied). You can designate a single email address, entire domains or IPs, or use wildcards to designate ranges of addresses. Optionally, you can save these lists to a spreadsheet file. These lists affect only the emails received for the designated user account and its alias addresses (user-level lists). You can define a list of recipient email addresses for which you want to specify special email actions (for example, you want to deny all emails for a user who is an ex-employee). You can also specify the email action to take if the recipient email address is invalid in your system (permfailed by your email server as an invalid recipient). Types of Outbound Email Filtering You can add outbound filtering to each package, helping to ensure the safety and appropriateness of information being sent from your corporate email system to valued customers or business partners. Filter Type Content Filtering Attachment Filtering Virus Scanning Description This feature automatically prevents inappropriate, malicious, or confidential content from leaving your corporate email system, allowing you to monitor and enforce your corporate email policies. Outbound attachments can be filtered by size, by MIME content type, or by binary content, according to your corporate email policies. Outbound virus scanning stops viruses and worms from leaving your corporate email system, preventing your enterprise from being the source of email-borne viruses to customers, suppliers, and partners. Configurable Actions for Filtered Email In Email Protection, email filtering policies control how emails are filtered within a specific Domain and how Email Protection will respond during email filtering and reporting. Depending on the feature package that is licensed for a domain, specific email filters will be available to be enabled and configured. Also, depending on the enabled email filter, various actions must be configured that define how Email Protection will respond if an email violates the specific filter policy. 8 Proprietary: Not for use or disclosure outside McAfee without written permission.
