Manage Recipient Allow list

Incoming mail sent to recipients listed in the Recipient Allow list will always be allowed, regardless of the message classification.

Be careful which recipients you allow. This is generally not intended for normal mail recipients as this will allow ALL mail to reach the recipient's mailbox unfiltered. This is primarily used for abuse@ or Postmaster@ addresses or any address that should not have filtering (for example, an address used to send outgoing abuse reports to).

On this page you can:

  • Add recipient to Allow list - At the Admin level, you can add a recipient to the Allow list for all domains assigned to the selected Admin. See Add recipient to Allow list

    If you want to accept specific recipients at a particular domain you can turn off filtering for individual mailboxes. See Switch off Filtering for Specific Mailbox (Allow list recipients).

  • Import recipients from CSV - Import a list of recipients to add to the Allow list via CSV file
  • Export recipients as CSV - Export the list of recipients to a CSV file
