Filter Rule Management
Whitelist / Blacklist Management

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.
