You can import LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) or comma-separated values
(CSV) files into Cloud Email Gateway
Protection. This helps Cloud Email Gateway
Protection to better filter and process messages for valid
email addresses. Messages to invalid email addresses will be rejected.
Cloud Email Gateway
Protection uses user directories to help
prevent backscatter (or outscatter) spam and Directory Harvest Attacks (DHA). Importing
user
directories lets Cloud Email Gateway
Protection know legitimate email addresses
and domains in your organization.
Cloud Email Gateway
Protection also provides a synchronization tool that enables you to synchronize your current
groups, email accounts and email aliases from Open LDAP, Microsoft Active Directory,
Microsoft AD Global Catalog, Microsoft 365/Microsoft Entra ID and IBM Domino servers
to the Cloud Email Gateway
Protection server.
