The FortiGate unit uses the IP address list to filter incoming email. The FortiGate unit 
compares the IP address of the sender to the list in sequence. If a match is found, the 
corresponding protection profile action is taken. If no match is found, the email is 
passed on to the next spam filter.

You can enter an IP address and mask in two formats:

• x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x, for example 62.128.69.100/255.255.255.0
• x.x.x.x/x, for example 62.128.69.100/24
