Filter Rule Management

Whitelist / Blacklist Management

Overview

The Whitelist and Blacklist management functionality within Filter Management allows configuration of allow (Whitelist) or block (Blacklist) rules for emails based on multiple criteria including sender address, domain, subject, content, attachments, IP addresses, and more. This helps control risks and ensure security for enterprise email systems.
