Sender Blacklist
- CSEG automatically blocks all emails from blacklisted senders.
- Blocked messages are not quarantined and most mail servers will send a bounce message to the sender.
The sender blacklist interface allows admins to:
- Reset the list - Delete all blacklisted senders and make the list empty by clicking the 'Reset to default' button
Configure sender blacklist
- Click the 'Sender blacklist' from the 'Domain Rules' drop-down on the left
The 'Sender blacklist' interface of the selected domain opens:
- Sender – Blacklisted senders’ mail address
- Created date – Date and time the sender was added
Add Users to Senders
Blacklist
You can add senders to black list in two ways:
- Click 'Add' to add a new blacklisted sender
The 'Add' dialog box opens:
- Enter the sender name in the 'E-mail' textbox and sender's email domain name after the @ symbol and click the 'Save' button. Repeat the process to add more blacklisted senders.
- To add a particular set of senders to blacklist, prefix or suffix the wildcard character * in the 'E-mail' text field and senders' email domain name after the @ symbol. For example, enter *.stores@domainname.com for all the senders in stores department to be blacklisted.
- To add a specific username from any mail domain to the blacklist, enter the username in the mail text field and the wildcard character * after the @ symbol. For example, enter john@* for blacklisting the username 'john' with any email domain name.
- To add a set of users or specific username from any email domain with a specific top level domain (TLD) name like .com, .org, enter the wildcard character * or username in the Email text field and enter * followed by the TLD after the @ symbol. For example, '*@*.com' will blacklist all the senders from all the email domains ending with '.com'.
- To add a whole domain to blacklist, enter the wildcard character * in the E-mail text field and email domain after the @ symbol and click the 'Save' button. Now all the senders with the entered domain name are blackllisted.
The list of blacklisted senders are displayed.
