Protector SMTP service: SMTP Filter tab

Use the SMTP filter tab to configure SMTP monitoring by domain, direction, and source email address.

Steps

  1. Under Direction, select Enable filter to enable the SMTP filter.
  2. Under Internal email domains, enter the name of an internal domain to monitor, then click Add.

    Do this for each internal email domain that you want to monitor.

  3. Under Direction:
    • Select Inbound to monitor incoming email traffic.
    • Select Outbound to monitor outgoing email traffic.
    • Select Internal to monitor internal email traffic.
      Important: If you do not select a direction, only rules governing outbound traffic are applied.
  4. Under Source’s Email Address, select Enable filter to enable the source’s email address filter. This tells the system to watch for messages sent from specific email address and not analyze those messages.

    Enter the email address to not analyze then click Add. Repeat this process for each email address you want to skip.

  5. Do one of the following:
    • If you selected monitoring mode on the General tab, click OK to save your changes and return to the Protector Details page.
    • If you selected MTA mode, continue with Protector SMTP service: Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) tab.
