Trusted IP Address group

Like the Protected Domain group, the Trusted IP Addresses default group is empty after product installation. IP addresses may be added to or deleted from the Trusted IP Addresses group, but the Trusted IP Addresses group itself cannot be deleted. The Trusted IP Addresses group may include up to 1024 addresses.

Trusted IP addresses may include your internal mail servers or a trusted partner mail server.

Mail from an address in the Trusted IP Addresses group can bypass some inbound email analysis. Use of the Trusted IP Addresses group can result in improved email processing time.

Specifically, mail from trusted IP addresses bypasses the following email analysis:

  • Global Always Block List (Main > Policy Management > Always Block/Permit)
  • All message controls except message size, invalid recipient, and internal sender verification settings (Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Message Control)
  • Recipient validation (Settings > Users > User Authentication)
  • All connection controls except the connection control timeout (Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Connection Control)
  • Directory harvest attack (Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Directory Attacks)
  • Relay controls (Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Relay Control)
  • Personal Email Manager Always Block List
Note: Mail from trusted IP addresses does not bypass policy and rule application, and is always subject to antispam and antivirus analysis.
