Configure Greylist settings

You can temporarily reject messages from unrecognized senders, only accepting them if they are resent within a specified time period.

Enable or disable Greylisting

  1. Navigate to Policy > Manage Policy Definition > SpamLogic Settings. The SpamLogic Settings page is displayed.

  2. Select the Spam Policy tab.

  3. In the Spam Policy panel, click Click here to change these settings.

  4. From the drop-down menu of Greylisting, select:

    • Enabled

    • Disabled

  5. Click Save.

 

  • You can only use Greylisting as an anti-spam defense if your Secure Email Gateway is connected directly to the Internet, enabling communication with unrecognized senders.

  • To avoid messages from trusted sources being greylisted, add them to an Allow List.

  • Only senders whose TRUSTmanager Reputation Rating is Suspicious or Bad can be greylisted.

  • If you change any configuration or policy settings, you must Apply Configuration for the new settings to take effect. You can do this either from the Changes Made panel, or System > Configuration > Apply Configuration. See Apply new configuration for more information.

  • If you use Peer Gateways (i.e. when multiple Gateways are peered), any configuration changes from a local Gateway can then be applied to all the peers at the same time. See Configure Peer Gateways for more information.
