Email Exclusion List

Other Related Topics...

The Email Exclusion List allows you to deny domains or individuals use of the Email Gateway. If no domain or individual user is listed, everyone can use the Email Gateway.

The Gateway first makes sure the address or domain of the incoming email is in the inclusion list. If not (and the list is not empty), the email is not processed. If the incoming email passes the “inclusion” test, then the Gateway makes sure the address or domain of the incoming email is not in the exclusion. If it is in the exclusion list, the email is not processed.

Exclusion File – displays the path and file name of the file where the list of excluded email addresses and domains is stored.

Browse – click this button to bring up a file dialog that allows you to select an exclusion list file, or type in the file name.

List – the list contains one column. The items in the list are either individual email addresses (i.e., bob@castelle.com) or entire domains (@castelle.com).

Add – click this button to bring up a dialog box that will allow you to enter an email address or domain to the list. Click OK to add the entry, or Cancel to abandon the entry. If you enter a domain, it must be proceeded by an ‘@’.

Delete – click this button to delete the currently selected item.

Edit – click this button to bring up a dialog box that will allow you to modify the selected item. Click OK to change the item in the list, or Cancel to abandon your changes. If you change the entry to be a domain, it must be preceded by an @ sign.
