Email Protection Administrator Guide Allow or Deny Email to or from Specific The Sender Allow and Sender Deny lists are used in combination with the user-level Allow and Deny lists that can be defined for specific user accounts. In the case of a conflicting entry (for example, the same email address is in the user-level Allow list and the Sender Deny list at the policy set level), the lists defined in these tabs override the user-level lists. The allowed maximum of items for each list is defined at the system level and may vary for different installations of Email Protection. Allow Email from a Specific Address You can define a list of sender addresses whose email will always be accepted without email filtering. The exception is that virus filtering is always applied if licensed for that policy set, unless overridden by the user-level policy configurations. In addition, the userlevel Deny list will override the policy set-level Sender Allow list. You can add individual addresses one a time or you can add them with a batch file. See Add Allow, Deny, or Recipient Shield Addresses with a Batch File. 1 Click Email Protection | Policies. 2 Select the policy you want to change. 3 Click Allow/Deny. The Sender Allow window is displayed. 4 In the Add Address field, type the address of a sender whose email should be delivered without filtering. The following values are allowed in the list entries: • Email addresses - Complete sender email address or partial address with wildcards (for example, [email protected] or g*@domain.com) • Domain names - Complete domain name or partial name with wildcards (for example, "domain.com") • IP addresses - Complete IP address or partial address with wildcards (for example, 123.123.12.3 or 123.123.12.*) Note: CIDR notation is not allowed. Each IP address must be designated separately. November 2012 Proprietary: Not for use or disclosure outside McAfee without written permission 69
