Configuring Custom Message Filtering

You can prevent messages that contain certain domains and users in the From field from being delivered to recipients in your site. Messages from the specified domains and users can be deleted or stored in the Turf directory. Users who send these messages will not receive non-delivery notifications.

For example, if you don't want to accept messages from the domain xxx.com, you can add that domain name to the Prevent these domains and users list. The Internet Mail Service will filter mail that contains the xxx.com domain name in the From field as specified.

To configure custom message filtering

1. Select the Connections tab.
2. In Accept Connections, choose Message Filtering.
3. In Prevent these domains and users, choose Add.
4. Type the name of the domain and user you want to prevent from delivering messages to your site.
5. To save and automatically move messages from the selected sender to the Turf directory, clear the Delete messages instead of moving to the Turf directory check box.
