How to manage the user's white/blacklist?

MarcosMachado over 8 years ago

If a user configures his/her own black or whitelist in the web quarantine access, how can an admin see and manage it?

In other words, how do I keep an eye in the users behavior regarding their spam filtering?

Thanks!

Hello Marcos,

It is not possible to see the blacklist/whitelist made in web quarantine from the admin UI, however, the blacklist/whitelist made in admin UI have priority over the one made under web quarantine.

Messages are processed in the following order:

Allowed hosts/senders (Global)

Blocked hosts/senders (Global)

Allowed senders (per-user)

Blocked senders (per-user)

This ensures that Global settings always take precedence over end-user settings.

Thanks, Aiman!

In that case, if an admin wants to create white/blacklists for specific users, he/her needs to create additional policies then, right? (I think it will easily make the policy rules really cumbersome)

Sounds like a feature request: Let the admin configure user specific rules inside their own web portal. :)

Hello Marcos,

Yes, you are right. Additional policies will help but making separate policy for every user will be tedious.

As requested, i will raise a feature request to manage user specific rules from admin UI.

Note: hosts/senders under allowed list only bypass the anti-spam filter, other filters are applied if applicable.

Refer below link for policy message workflow, it will be helpful in understanding how policies are applied in Sophos email appliance.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
