    Designate email domains as blacklisted or whitelisted

    Designate specific email domains as blacklisted or whitelisted so that you can monitor the metrics for incoming emails from these sources in your instance.

    Before you begin

    Role required: security_dashboard_user or admin

    About this task

    When blacklisted or whitelisted domains send emails to your instance, their daily counts appear on the Blacklisted Incoming Email or Whitelisted Incoming Email metrics on the Email page. You can then track email activity from these domains and use email logs to view specific incoming emails. You can also specify a user, usually a manager, or a security analyst, to notify whenever activity occurs from the blacklisted or whitelisted domain.
    Note: Designating an email domain as blacklisted is for security tracking purposes only. It does not prevent delivery of emails sent from the domain to your instance. To learn about filtering emails to block their delivery, see Email filters.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to System Security > Instance Security Center.
    2. On the Instance Security Center homepage, click the Email tile, or click the Email link to access the Email page.
    3. On the Email page, in the BlackList And WhiteList Domain section, click New.
    4. On the form, fill in the fields.
