Add IP Address of Outbound Server, If
Necessary
If your service includes Outbound Message filtering, you must identify one or more
outbound mail servers through which your users send outgoing mail. While your outbound
server might use a Domain Name Server (DNS) name within your network (for example,
lewisoutbound.acme.com
), you identify the outbound sever within Email Protection with
an IP address (for example,
111.222.111.0
).
Alternatively, you can specify a Classless
Inter-domain Routing (CIDR) address for a range of outbound servers (for example,
111.222.111.0/27
) only. The address
must
be a public address.
Any server addresses designated here must be valid and available for a connection. After
the
Save Changes
button is clicked, Email Protection immediately accepts email traffic
from the active servers.
Note:
If email is received from an outbound server that is not configured in the Email
Protection system, it will be refused. If no outbound package has been designated for the
selected domain, this window is unavailable.

Important:
You or your network administrator should also do the following before or

Update Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records on your mail server(s) to ensure
only authorized sources are sending outbound email.
•
Scan your network for open relays, viruses and malware.
