See Save a Copy of an Allow, Deny, or Recipient Shield List. Sender Policy Framework (SPF) You are able to whitelist a specific email addess or domain and assign an SPF check to that address. Subsequent mail coming from the whitelisted domain is then checked against SPF records. Should the SPF check fail, the mail is denied. The following conditions apply to an SPF verification: • If the record can be verified, then content and spam filtering is skipped for the sender's inbound messages. • If the record cannot be verified, then filtering is not skipped for the sender's inbound messages. Note: If a sender on the allow list does not have an SPF record the inbound message is still allowed. Deny Email from a Specific Address You can define a list of sender addresses whose email will always be denied regardless of email filtering. This Deny list overrides the user-level 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. 70 Proprietary: Not for use or disclosure outside McAfee without written permission.
