11.4 White and blacklists
Enter an email address or an email domain name into the “Whitelist” field to
guarantee the delivery of all email from this source. The spam filter is bypassed
for these account.
The field “Blacklist” can be used to block all mail from a source. This is an
effective way to block a mail bomb of spam or virus email or a mail loop from a
specific address. Mail loops can occur when for example a service of Internet
replies to a simple automatic reply as out of office messages.
11.5 Reading external mail boxes
The firewall can be used to read external pop boxes and check the mail before
sending it to the internal mail server or make them available to other pop
boxes.
➔ Write the pop server name or IP address in the “POP-server” field.
Side note: This field should not be filled with the Host name of the firewall on
top of the page.
➔ Write the user name of the mail box into the “Username” field.
➔ Enter the password of the mail box into the “Password” field.
➔ Set the correct domain to deliver the mail to.
When that delivery domain is entered with “local” in the “transport mapping”
then the mail is written again to User mail boxes.
11.6 User mail boxes
To let users read from mail boxes on the firewall.
➔ Write the user name in the “Localname” field.
➔ Fill the password into the “Password” field.
When the “POP-server” and “Username” fields are also filled the password
internally and externally are the same.
The mailboxes have a size limit set with the “Mailbox size limit” field near the
top of the page. This should be a couple of times higher than the “Maximum
mailsize” limit. Otherwise the mail system could get stuck with a email that
can't be delivered or send to the postmaster. This can hamper the overall
working of the mail system.
