Note: For incoming messages, you can conserve computing resources by blocking
messages from undesirable domains and IP addresses using SMTP Scanner settings
rather than by configuring content filtering policies from the Policies > Sender
Groups page. SMTP Scanner settings effectively block unwanted messages before
they are filtered by Content Compliance policies, resulting in fewer messages
filtered through Content Compliance policies.
