Description

This contrib provides a server-manager panel to designate user defined email whitelists and blacklists.

An email whitelist is a list of hosts, domains, or email addresses which will be accepted by SME Server regardless of possible spam content or origin. Administrators should use caution when using whitelists as email coming from whitelisted addresses will bypass many of the mechanisms that SME provides for identifying unsafe email messages.

An email blacklist is a list of hosts, domains, or email addresses that will be blocked all of the time.

Installation

Install of the lastest Email Whitelist-Blacklist package is from the smecontribs repo:

1. Install package:

yum --enablerepo smecontribs install smeserver-wbl

2. Reconfigure machine:

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Once you do this a new menu item will be visable in the Server-Manager on the left hand side, called E-mail WBL. Clicking on this will present you with 3 buttons.
