What really is an "Address Group"? A fuzzy, nebulous, and imprecise term to start with and then in the context of inbound email filtering on the way to our internal mail server(s) leave me hanging.

Hi AndyKonecny,
It would really help if you could tell us where you've found the term as I cannot find in our Sophos Central/Email documentation.

Many thanks,
R

not sure if it was from the Help option in the webconsole or from googling around.   rest of the page was what I was lost

https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/19.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/Email/HowToArticles/EmailConfigureEmailProtectionMTA/index.html#add-an-address-group

just like when trying to figure out the SMTP relay options, found one bit of documentation that so assumes one will just see that one menu item on the top row all the way over on the far right that might be hiding under the 'more' dots   kept looking and finally found in other docs where it was 'hidden'  all because I don't lug a huge screen AND span by browser across it all.  on the Email page I go from Policies & Exceptions to General Settings.    I so don't directly do enough firewalls to keep up on the local habits of each system.  Even the old SG230 we are replacing was just a port of the configuration from earlier systems that started with an Astaro.  so just haven't had the pleasure of this interface before in any depth.

Hi AndyKonecny,
The "address group" term is indeed very generic. In this specific case, it refers to the inbound emails but we'll make some changes in our documentation to make it clearer.
