Remember, the white list only is for content filtering. Connection
filtering is handled via the trusted IPs.

| I manage a server running Imail 8.01 and it hosts about 6 or 7 domains.
| The problem I am having now is that I add the domains into the whitelist
| area of IMAIL and the messages are still being blocked. How can I
| configure IMAIL to allow messages from abc.com to xyz.com to avoid any
| filtering since they are on the same server?
|
| Any help would be great!

| Actually that is how I have been populating my URL Blacklist table, but I
| hadn't gotten as far to make a batch file for it and schedule it, I
should
| get that figured out next. I'm really loving the URL Blacklist, it's a
| great
| new feature. It's especially nice to get my Imail Daily Report and see 80
| messages getting snagged by the URL BL after just a couple weeks with it.
| 80
| might seem low, but we are a small company so 80 is about 32 percent of
our
| daily Spam. The only thing I didn't know how to handle was merging the
| update from Ipswitch with what I had already. I wasn't sure if you could
| edit the URL Domain Blacklist directly or not.
|
|
| Thanks for all the info.
