IP filtering
In this sub-section you have the various following configuration options: (Figure 7-1)
§
Activation of RBLs (Real-time Blackhole Lists). A number of providers offer lists of IP
addresses from servers reputed for sending spam. This option is blank by default. Before
activating a server, ensure that you read their sales policy first as some are fee-based
(spamhaus ...).
§
The addition of IP addresses known to be spam sources.
§
The addition of IP addresses known to be reliable (credible IPs). Connections from these
servers will always be accepted. In this case, these IPs will pass through RBL filtering, if
defined in the previous section. However the content of e-mails and their protocol context will
be scanned.
§
The addition of IP addresses from secure proxy servers that are known to be reliable. In this
context, messages from these servers will be systematically accepted without being
scanned. This option may be useful for transferring e-mails filtered by another server.
