Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C690 User Guide

To enable safelists and blocklists on a C-Series appliance, go to Monitor > 
Quarantines. 

You must have the IronPort Spam Quarantine enabled and configured 
before you can configure safelists and blocklists.

In the End-User Safelist/Blocklist settings, select Edit Settings.

Select Enable Safelist/Blocklist Feature.

Select Quarantine or Delete for the Blocklist Action.

Specify the Maximum List Items Per User. This value represents the maximum 
number of addresses or domains a user can list in each safe and block list.

Click Submit.

To save a backup of the safelist/blocklist database, the Cisco IronPort appliance 
saves the database as a .CSV file. The .CSV file is maintained separately from the 
XML configuration file that contains your Cisco IronPort appliance configuration 
settings. If you upgrade your Cisco IronPort appliance or run the Installation 
Wizard, you should back up the Safelist/Blocklist database to the .CSV file.

/configuration

 directory using the following naming convention:

From the GUI, you can use the following method to back up and restore the 
database:
