Configure the Approved Senders and
Blocked Senders lists to control which email messages Cloud Email Gateway
Protection scans. Specify the senders to allow or
block using specific email addresses or entire domains.
For example,
*@example.com specifies all senders
from the example.com domain.Evaluation is done in the following order:
-
Blocked sender list of an end user's email address
-
Blocked sender list of managed domains or the entire organization
-
Approved sender list of an end user's email address
-
Approved sender list of managed domains or the entire organization
 |
NoteApproved senders of an end user's email address will not override blocked senders
for the
corresponding domain or organization. For example, assume that
*@example.com is in the blocked sender list of the administrator
console, and john@example.com is in the approved sender list of an end
user. Messages from john@example.com will still be blocked.IP reputation-based filters use only IP address
data to filter messages. You can also use sender email address and domain to
filter incoming messages. Approved senders bypass IP reputation-based filtering
at the MTA connection level.

-
