Downloading and uploading aliases

You can download the complete alias list as a comma-separated values (CSV) file. You can then edit this using a simple text editor or a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel. If you are intending to upload aliases, be very careful not to change the format of the file. The first line of the file is a header line - it must always be exactly:

Inbound,Outbound,External,Internal

Subsequent lines follow this format:

yes,no,addr1@external.domain.com,addr2@internal.domain.com

All values must be separated by commas and enclosed in double-quotes if they contain commas.

During the alias upload, Forcepoint Email Security Cloud performs a complete syntax check before it imports the aliases to the system configuration. If it finds any errors, it reports them and abandons the file import.
