Fortimail Blocklist Sender Domain

[NeoRant]

Good day Team,

Fortimail v7.4.1

I have a few entries (full email addresses) under IP Policy -> Inbound Session -> Lists -> Sender Blocklist checking

and indeed, it works, no more mails from those senders. 

However, I am getting quite a few from same domain, how can someone in Fortimail block only the @domain.com portion of email addresses. Please show me the definite steps to complete this procedure.

So far my Fortimail is working well, just a few domains I want to keep under control.

Regards,

Hi NeoRant,

Does this document answer your query? It explains how to set up block lists, including for specific domains.

Hi NeoRant

As per the document shared by Stephen, if you mean you want to specify all senders from domain.com, then did you try with wildcard (*@domain.com)?

Or did I misunderstand your question?

Hi @AEK ,  @Stephen_G 

*@example.com   - this format worked for me. I forgot about this totally, thanks alot. I did it before but hey, the brain can really go tired at times. I am managing block/safe lists via Policy -> IP Policy -> Inbound Session - > Lists. That is where i have my entries.

Does it matter where you manage block/safe lists? whether via Security -> Block/Safe Lists or Policy -> IP Policy?

Hi NeoRant

Good question.

If you want to manage them globally or per domain then use Security -> Block/Safe Lists. This is the most common used method.

But if it is session-related then just put it in the session. In fact there may be multiple IP policies in your FML, and in some specific cases you may need to specify a different session profile for each IP policy and specify a different safe/block list for each policy.
