Usage Guidelines

Upon detecting an email encapsulated in POP3 or IMAP, the FW checks the address of the email. Both the sender address and receiver address of the email can be used as the filtering condition. You can use the recv-mail sender filter-mode command to configure the action for emails that match the mail address check condition when sender-address-based mail filtering in the receiving direction is configured.

The default action is block.

For intranet users who download emails through POP3 or IMAP, you can set the filtering action to allow or block.

Example

# Allow emails to be received from only the specified sender.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] profile type mail-filter name abc
[sysname-profile-mail-filter-abc] recv-mail sender filter-mode allow
