5.12 Exceptions

The Address Exception tells the system to skip a connected event test for messages containing the listed sender or recipient address. The sender or recipient, or both address locations can be specified. If a recipient address is on the exception list, messages will not be tested against the different connected event(s). To add an email address to the list, simply input it into the configuration window. Multiple addresses may be specified, simply place each address on its own line.

A Group node groups exceptions together, either for organizational clarity or to blend exceptions together to build meta-exceptions. These provide the ability to create complex exception rules with multiple types of exceptions within the same rule.

The IP Address Exception instructs the system to ignore results for tests to which the exception is applied. When active, the system will compare the originating IP address against the exempted list. To add an Address to the list, simply enter the address into the list. Add multiple addresses to the list by placing them on their own individual lines.

The message Text exception tells the system to exempt messages from associated event tests if the specified text is present in the body of the message. To add a text exception, simply add the desired text into the list.

The SMTP envelope filter checks to see if specific attributes of the SMTP connection are present. The Client authenticated test looks for the inbound SMTP connection to successfully provide valid login credentials for the system. (User-name and Password) The SSL secure test looks to see if the client establishes and sends its data over a secure channel Client Switched to SSL using STARTTLS looks to see if the incoming client was secure from the beginning of the session or whether SSL was initiated after initial client connection. All features have the options 'yes', 'no', and 'don't test'. If selected either 'yes' or 'no', incoming messages will be scanned and, if detected, the selected filter will enact connected services associated.
