Email Filters
This feature allows you to block FootPrints
from sending and receiving email from certain email accounts or domains. You can use this feature to prevent from sending mail
to or receiving mail from a Mailer Daemon account, block known spammers,
and temporarily block email for a FootPrints user who is on vacation. Filters can be created per Workspace and defaults
can be set for the entire system.
There are five options:
No
Accept—Do
not accept email submissions from the specified addresses or domains.
Always
Accept—Always accept email submissions from the specified addresses or domains. Addresses and domains on this list have highest priority and bypass internal spam checks.
No
Send—Do
not send email notifications to the specified addresses or domains.
Only
Accept—Only
accept email submissions from the specified addresses or domains.
Only
Send—Only
send email notification to the specified addresses or domains.
To create an email filter:
To:
Create
a Workspace filter, select Administration
| Workspace | General | Mail Preferences | Email Filters.
Create
a system filter, select Administration
| System | Features | Email | Email Filters.
Select one of the
four filter types using the radio buttons below the text box.
Enter the address
or domain in the text box.
The following rules apply:
One address per line,
with nothing else on that line.
Lines containing
a # sign and empty lines are ignored.
Spaces are ignored.
Incomplete addresses
can be used. For
example, you can user yourserver.com.
FootPrints checks if the address contains the partial address or
domain name specified.
