Anomaly Detection
- Allows you to receive alerts when KoruMail detects a user/email address has sent messages from multiple IP addresses within a set time interval.
- You can choose to block these users if the outgoing mail IP addresses exceed the number set in this tab.
- This value can not be '0', therefore administrators are expected to set a value between 1 and 10,000 to block users, IP addresses or SMTP Auth requests.
To open the 'Anomaly Detection' screen,
- Click 'SMTP' > 'SMTP-AUTH' on the left menu
- Open the 'Anomaly Detection' tab.
