Using Safelists and Blocklists to Control Email Delivery Based on Sender
Troubleshooting Safelists and Blocklists
An end user maintains his or her own safelists and blocklists. Administrators can access an end user’s
safelist or blocklist only by logging into the end user account with the user’s login and password. To
troubleshoot issues with safelists and blocklists, you can view the log files or system alerts.

When an email is blocked due to safelist/blocklist settings, the action is logged in the ISQ_logs or the
antispam log files. Emails that are safelisted are marked as safelisted with an X-SLBL-Result-Safelist
header. Emails that are blocklisted are marked as blocklisted with an X-SLBL-Result-Blocklist header.

Alerts are sent out when the database is created, updated, or if there are errors in modifying the database

End User Tasks for Configuring Safelists and Blocklists
End users can create safelists to ensure that messages from certain senders are never treated as spam,
and they can use blocklists to ensure that messages from certain senders are always treated as spam. For
example, an end user may receive email from a mailing list that no longer interests him. He may decide
to add this sender to his blocklist to prevent emails from the mailing list from getting sent to his inbox.
On the other hand, end users may find that emails from specific senders get sent to their Spam Quarantine
when they don’t want them to be treated as spam. To ensure mail from these senders are not quarantined,
they may want to add the senders to their safelists.

Note
Safelist/Blocklist settings are contingent on other settings configured by the system administrator.
To work with safelists and blocklists, end users must complete the following tasks:
•
Access safelists and blocklists. Depending on authentication settings, end users may need to log
into their Spam Quarantine accounts. For more information, see

•
Add safelist entries. Users add safelist entries from the Options menu or the list of quarantined
messages in Spam Quarantine. For more information, see

Accessing Safelists and Blocklists
To access safelists and blocklists, end users whose accounts are authenticated using LDAP or Mailbox
(IMAP/POP) authentication must log into their accounts on the Spam Quarantine. The end user must log
into their account even if they are accustomed to accessing their messages via a spam notification (which
usually doesn’t require authentication). If the end-user authentication is set to NONE, end users do not
need to log into their accounts to access safelist/blocklist settings.

Syntax for Safelists and Blocklist Entries
Entries can be added to safelists and blocklists using the following formats:
