Validation settings

Variables which can be used for validation. These can be set when you are adding your LDAP server.

Search Filter. There are three variables which can be used in the Search filter for validation:

%user% = the user name of the user to be validated

%domain% = the domain that this user belongs to

%email% = the e-mail address of this user

LDAP will try to validate a message by checking with the LDAP server using this search, for example: jbloggs@mycom.com

This message will be validated using the variables as follows:

%user%= jbloggs

%domain%= mycom.com

%email%= jbloggs@mycom.com

Base DN. BaseDN, is an LDAP term meaning the base Domain Name which will be in the form of:

cn=users,dc=example,dc=com

Mail Field. The mail field is a list of LDAP entries containing e-mail addresses. When importing address groups, the mail field is used to find out which entries/field in the LDAP server are e-mail addresses.

ESMTP Server Information

ESMTP adds many enhancements to the SMTP protocol such as security and authentication. It supports User Authentication and Recipient Validation.

To add an ESMTP server:

1Click Add in the User Directories screen.

2Select ESMTP.

3Click Next. The ESMTP Server Information screen is displayed.

4Enter the following information:

Directory ID – The ID of the directory. This field is limited to 64 characters.

Server Address – The address of your ESMTP server.

Enable secure connection using STARTTLS – Allow validation and authentication using TLS

Note: SurfControl recommends that STARTTLS is enabled for security reasons. Using TLS may, however, have some impact on performance, as extra CPU processing is needed to encode and decode the TLS encrypted data.

Port - The default port is 25.

E-mail Verification Method – Select the option that corresponds to how you want e-mail to be verified:

Use the return status of the VRFY command

Use the return status of the RCPT command
