Enter an email address or domain into the Approved Senders or Blocked
Senders field, then click Add.
To allow or block an entire domain, use a Content Manager filter. See “Sender
address from one or more specific domains” on page 213 for information
about creating a domain-level filter.
WARNING:
Use caution with the option, “Apply settings and filters to existing
sub-orgs.” When you choose the propagation option and make a change to
the sender list for an organization, that organization’s sender list overwrites its
sub-organization’s lists. This completely clears any senders lists in a sub
organization and could result in an unrecoverable loss of data. For more
information for possible solutions, see “Propagation for Approved/Blocked
Sender Lists” on page 260“.
Propagation for Approved/Blocked Sender Lists
By default, changes to an organization-level approved/blocked sender list do not
retroactively propagate from the parent organization to sub-organizations. For
example, if you add an address to the approved sender list in an organization, that
address is not added to sub-organizations.
To propagate changes for an organization, check the “Apply settings and filters to
existing sub-orgs.” box and make at least one list change. This overwrites all
organization-level approved/blocked sender lists for all sub-organizations with the
current list.
If you have data in sub organization sender lists that you don’t want to lose, use
the following methods to update those lists:
•
Manually make the changes in each sub-organization.
•
Use batch commands to make many changes at once. For more information
on using batch commands, see “Using Batch Commands for Approved/
Blocked Lists” on page 262.
When you create a new organization it receives a copy of all settings, including
approved and blocked sender lists, from the parent organization.
