Anti-Spam Techniques

This chapter describes how you can use SonicWALL Email Security to block senders, or ensure that senders you approve can send you email.

Managing Allowed and Blocked Lists

Managing your Allowed and Blocked lists can help prevent email you want from ending up in your Junk Box and keep email from legitimate-looking but annoying senders from cluttering up your inbox. Use the Anti-Spam Techniques window to create your own lists of senders from whom you want to allow and block email.

SonicWALL Email Security provides separate lists for people, companies (domains), and mailing lists. For each type of list, click the Allowed and Blocked tabs to see the different allowed and blocked lists. Search for allowed and blocked names, company, and lists in the Anti-Spam Techniques window. Click Search and type the name of the person, company, or list.

Note:

zAn email address or domain cannot be on both the Allowed and Blocked lists. If you add an address in one list that already exists on the other, SonicWALL Email Security removes the address from the other list.

Another key characteristic of SonicWALL 7.2 is its scalability. Whether a small business or a large enterprise, organizations can tailor their security solutions to meet their specific needs. The ability to easily scale allows businesses to grow without compromising their security infrastructure, enabling them to focus on core innovations and expansion.

In summary, SonicWALL 7.2 equips businesses with a powerful arsenal to combat today's cyber threats.
