Chapter 7 Spam Quarantine
Using Safelists and Blocklists to Control Email Delivery Based on Sender
Because safelists and blocklists are maintained in the spam quarantine, delivery behavior is also
contingent on other anti-spam settings. For example, if you configure the “Accept” mail flow policy in
the Host Access Table (HAT) to skip anti-spam scanning, then users who receive mail on that listener
will not have their safelist and blocklist settings applied to mail received on that listener. Similarly, if
you create a mail flow policy that skips anti-spam scanning for certain message recipients, these
recipients will not have their safelist and blocklist settings applied.

External Spam Quarantine and Safelist/Blocklists
Because the Email Security appliance evaluates senders in safelists and blocklists when processing
incoming mail, safelists and blocklists that are stored on a Security Management appliance must be sent
to the Email Security appliance in order to be applied to incoming mail. When you configure the
safelist/blocklist feature on a Security Management appliance, you configure the frequency of these
updates.
