Exceptions

On the POP3 > Exceptions tab you can define client hosts/networks and sender addresses that shall be excluded from various security features.

To create an exception, proceed as follows:

1. On the Exceptions tab, click New Exception List.

   The Add Exception List dialog box opens.

2. Make the following settings:

   Name: Enter a descriptive name for this exception.

   Skip these checks: Select the security checks that should be skipped. For more information, see Email Protection > POP3 > Malware and Antispam.

   For these client hosts/networks: Add or select the source hosts/networks (i.e., the hosts or networks messages originate from) that should skip the security checks. How to add a definition is explained on the Definitions & Users > Network Definitions > Network Definitions page.

   Note – No exception needs to be created for localhost because local messages will not be scanned by default.

   When selecting this option, the Client hosts/networks dialog box opens. You can add a host or network by either clicking the plus symbol or the folder symbol.

   OR these sender addresses: Select the senders' email addresses that should skip the defined security checks.

   When selecting this option, the Senders box opens. You can either enter a complete valid email address (e.g., jdoe@example.com) or all email addresses of a specific domain using an asterisk as wildcard (e.g., *@example.com).

   Note – Use the Senders option with caution, as sender addresses can easily be forged.

   Comment (optional): Add a description or other information.

3. Click Save.

   The new exception appears on the Exceptions list.

To either edit or delete an exception, click the corresponding buttons.
