Order of precedence

A specific order of precedence is applied for cases in which IP addresses or email addresses appear in multiple Always Block and Always Permit lists.

Duplicate email addresses or IP addresses are allowed on both the global Always Block and Always Permit lists, including mixtures of IP and email addresses. A warning displays when a duplicate entry is added.

Duplicate email addresses are not allowed on the Personal Email Manager Always Block or Always Permit lists. A warning displays when a duplicate entry is added. If you continue to add the email address, only the current list to which the email address is added will contain the email address. For any duplicates that existed in previous versions of Personal Email Manager prior to this behavior being changed, an automatic mechanism cleans up duplicates, leaving the particular entry only in the Block List.

In the case of email addresses or IP addresses included in multiple Always Block and Always Permit lists, the order of precedence is below:

1. Global Always Block IP List
2. Global Always Permit Email Address
3. Global Always Block Email Address
4. Global Always Permit Email IP List
5. Personal Email Manager Block/Permit Email Address Lists
6. Dynamic Permit List
