Sender to Recipient Block/Allow List

The Sender Checks Bypass permits you to either Block or Allow sender email addresses or sender domains to specific  Internal Recipients  or entire  Relay Domains . It's important to note that the Sender Checks occur  AFTER  the perimeter checks. For example, if you have setup a sender to be allowed but email is still not coming through, it's possible that the sender's IP address is being blocked by the Hermes SEG perimeter checks. 

 When setting up a sender email address or domain to be allowed or blocked for an entire Relay Domain within Hermes SEG, the system will automatically create separate mappings for every Internal Recipient for that Relay Domain at the time of setup. However, if additional Internal Recipients are added after the the bypass was set, those Internal Recipients will not get the previously set bypasses. In those cases, you will have to manually add those bypasses for the new Internal Recipients. 

 Add Email Address Sender Check Bypass to Internal Recipient 

 

 Under the  Sender Domain or Email Address ...  field, enter a sender email address. 

 Under the  Select Internal recipient from the ....  drop-down field, select one of the existing  Internal Recipients  in the system. 

 Under the  Select Action to take below  field, select either a  Block  or  Allow  action. 

 Click the  Add  button ( Figure 1 )

 Add Email Address Sender Check Bypass to Relay Domain 

 

 Under the  Sender Domain or Email Address ...  field, enter a sender email address. 

 Under the  Select Internal recipient from the ....  drop-down field, select one of the existing  Relay Domains  in the system. Relay Domains are annotated by a ( @ ) at symbol in front of them. For example, if you have a Relay Domain of  mydomain.tld  then it will appear as  @mydomain.tld  in the drop-down field. 

 Under the  Select Action to take below  field, select either a  Block  or  Allow  action. 

 Click the  Add  button ( Figure 4 )

 Since we are mapping an entire  Relay Domain  to a sender, the system will automatically populate the  Block/Allow Sender(s) to be added  section with all the  Internal Recipients  for that domain ( Figure 5 ).

For example, if you want to include all the sub-domains for  domain.tld , you would simply enter  .domain.tld  (note the  .  in front of the domain). 

 Under the  Select Internal recipient from the ....  drop-down field, select one of the existing  Internal Recipients  in the system. 

 Under the  Select Action to take below  field, select either a  Block  or  Allow  action. 

 Click the  Add  button ( Figure 7 )

 Under the  Select Internal recipient from the ....  drop-down field, select one of the existing  Relay Domains  in the system. Relay Domains are annotated by a ( @ ) at symbol in front of them. For example, if you have a Relay Domain of  mydomain.tld  then it will appear as  @mydomain.tld  in the drop-down field. 

 Under the  Select Action to take below  field, select either a  Block  or  Allow  action.
