Uploading allowlist and blocklist exceptions in bulk
You can upload allowlist and blocklist exception information in bulk if you have the blocklist or allowlist exceptions for all of your users and groups in a single file.
The file must be in comma-separated value (CSV) format, and the header of the file must be this string exactly: “Apply To, Address, Description”. Every line must contain 3 fields separated by commas:
- An email address, domain name, or group that the allowlist or blocklist address applies to (no wildcards permitted).
- An email address or domain name (wildcards permitted).
- An optional description (free text, up to 255 characters).
The fields can be quoted or not. If a field contains a comma, it must be quoted. If 1 field is quoted, the rest of the line must be quoted. If a field contains a quotation mark, this character must be surrounded by additional quotation marks. If a line contains more than 3 fields, the file is rejected and an error message is displayed.
For example:
Apply To, Address, Description
“UK Sales”, “address1@domain1.com”, “Description of address1, containing comma”
john@example.com, address1@domain1.com, Description of address1 without comma
“example.com”, “domain2.com”, “Description of domain2”
“Marketing”, “address2@domain1.com”, “description of address2”, “this field is not processed”
