Configuring URL Sandbox Settings in Forcepoint Email Security
Steps
-
In the section Default Settings, specify the settings that apply to any recipient not covered by recipient-specific settings:
- Activate the URL sandbox function; mark the check box Analyze suspicious URLs.
By default, the check box is not marked.
- If the URL sandbox is enabled, allow users to click unclassified URL links; mark the check box Allow the recipient to follow links to unclassified
URLs.
By default, the check box is not marked.
- Allow users to click a link that may redirect to a site with an unsupported protocol; mark the check box Allow the recipient to follow links with an unsupported protocol.
- Replace the original URL with other text; enter the string in the entry field below the check box.
Leave this field blank to keep the original URL.
- Activate the URL sandbox function; mark the check box Analyze suspicious URLs.
-
Use the section Recipient-specific Settings to add custom sandbox settings for individual domain or email addresses:
- Create sandbox settings for a particular group of addresses; click Add.
- In the Recipient Email/Domain Address List, enter comma-separated email or domain addresses to which the settings should apply.
Wildcards are not permitted.
- Activate the URL sandbox function for these addresses; mark the check box Analyze suspicious URLs.
By default, the check box is not marked.
- If the URL sandbox is enabled, allow the specified users to click unclassified URL links; mark the check box Allow the recipient to follow links to unclassified
URLs.
By default, the check box is not marked.
- Allow users to click a link that may redirect to a site with an unsupported protocol; mark the check box Allow the recipient to follow links with an unsupported protocol.
- Replace the original URL with other text; enter the string in the entry field below the check box.
Leave this field blank to keep the original URL.
-
Enable the sandbox to examine URLs even if they appear in a message that contains the digital signature of a trusted sender; at the bottom of the section URL Sandbox, mark the
check box Analyze suspicious URLs that appear in digitally signed email.
By default, the check box is not marked.
-
In the entry field above the check box, enter the URL domains that should bypass the URL sandbox.
Do not use wildcards, and separate multiple entries with a comma.
-
Click OK.
The settings are saved.
To delete a set of recipient-specific settings, mark the check box next to the address list and click Delete.
