Black white list
These are the types of black white lists available. They include:
• IP/Netmask
The FortiGate unit compares the IP address of the client delivering the email to the addresses in the IP address black/white list specified in the email filter profile. If a match is found, the FortiGate unit will take the action configured for the matching black/white list entry against all delivered email.
The default setting of the smtp-spamhdrip CLI command is disable. If enabled, the FortiGate unit will check all the IP addresses in the header of SMTP email against the specified IP address black/white list.
• Email Wildcard
The FortiGate unit compares the sender email address, as shown in the message envelope MAIL FROM, to the pattern in the patterned field. The wildcard symbol is used in the patterned to replace the characters in the address that may vary from the pattern. If a match is found, the FortiGate unit will take the action configured for the matching black/white list entry.
• Email Regular Expression
The FortiGate unit compares the sender email address, as shown in the message envelope MAIL FROM, to the pattern in the patterned field. The regular expression that can be used is much more sophisticated than a simple wildcard variable. If a match is found, the FortiGate unit will take the action configured for the matching black/white list entry.
