You can import LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) or comma-separated values (CSV) files into Hosted Email Security. This helps Hosted Email Security to better filter and process messages for valid email addresses. Messages to invalid email addresses will be rejected.
Hosted Email Security uses user directories to help prevent backscatter (or outscatter) spam and Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA). Importing user directories lets Hosted Email Security know legitimate email addresses and domains in your organization.

-
