Phishing Exceptions

Click Phishing Exceptions to override the phishing settings for named users, groups, or domains. Click the appropriate policy in the Apply to column of the Phishing Exceptions screen. You can then change the way phishing messages are handled for specific users, groups, or domains. For example, you can allow URLs to be replaced in messages for certain groups (such as marketing), and quarantine messages for other groups.

To create an exception:

Steps

  1. Click Add phishing exception.
  2. Choose an email address, domain name, or group from the list. In most cases, particularly if you are synchronizing LDAP directories, you will make exceptions based on group names, such as Dev. If you are making a user exception, be sure to enter the user’s email address, not LDAP user name.
  3. Define whether suspected phishing messages should be quarantined, or allowed with suspicious URLs replaced by a link to a block page that you specify.
  4. Click Submit.
