Deep Discovery Email Inspector blocks messages from sender IP addresses, resolved IP address, or email addresses in the Blocked Senders list.
A sender is added to the Blocked Senders list in one of the following ways:
-
Automatically when a message from the sender is detected based on the sender filtering (DHA protection, bounce attack protection, and SMTP traffic throttling).
-
Manually by the administrator
-
Deep Discovery Email Inspector matches senders against the Approved Senders and Blocked Senders lists only in MTA mode.
-
Deep Discovery Email Inspector automatically removes a sender from the list after the blocking expiry time is reached.
-
The time period filter setting is not applicable for user-defined entries when you select User defined or All from the Rule drop-down list
-
For information on how Deep Discovery Email Inspector filters senders based on the Approved Senders and Blocked Senders list, see Sender Filter Order of Evaluation.
