RECIPIENT VALIDATION

The Recipient E-mail Address Validation screen enables you to improve the performance of the RiskFilter gateway system. Receivers’ addresses are validated by user directories in order to prevent directory attack before inbound messages are received. Use the Recipient E-mail Address Validation screen to configure validation.

Adding details of domains

In order to provide greater security, RiskFilter needs to check that the user comes from a valid domain. When you add a domain to the Recipient E-mail Address Validation screen, you first need to supply details of the domain. The domain List section enables you to do this.

Add validation servers

You must supply RiskFilter with a list of servers that are able to validate the user/s that you have added. Before you can do this you must create a connection with the server that will validate these users. Using this connection, e-mail messages are then checked to ensure that they belong to a domain and can be validated.

To add validation servers:

1Select Receive Settings > Recipient Validation from the System Settings tab.

2Click Add. The Recipient Email Address Validation screen is displayed.

3In the Description field enter a description for this domain. This field is limited to 64 characters.

4Select the domain that you need to be validated from the Domain list box.

5Click Add>> to add it to the list. If you need to remove a domain from this list click the <<Remove.

6Select the server that will supply validation from the Server list box.

7Click Submit to put the new settings into effect or Reset if you want to cancel the modifications made to the current settings.
