Allow List

Adding senders and domains to the Allow List is a way of minimizing false positives for users. A false positive is when a user receives an email they know is clean, but has been flagged as malicious by Email Security and has had a banner applied to it. You have the option of adding individual email addresses you know to be clean, or you can add entire domains.

Important

When you add a sender's email address or a domain to the Allow List, it is not analyzed by Email Security and is delivered directly to the user's inbox. So be sure that the email or domain is from a trusted source.

The Allow List only exists on customer level. As a customer admin, you can go to Configuration > Mail Flow > Allow List to view the Allow List, add a sender to the Allow List, or add a domain to the Allow List.

Note

There is a quick action option from the MSP level to add both senders and domains to the Allow List. This can be done from the Incidents page by selecting the allow sender PT-Allow-List-Icon.jpg icon or the add domain PT-Allow-Domain-Icon.jpgicon from the Actions column.

Adding a Sender to the Allow List

  2. In the Allow Sender window enter:

    • Sender email address: Enter the email address of the sender you want added to the Allow List.

      Important

      No Email Security Analysis will be performed on this email address once it is added to the Allow List so be sure that it is a trusted email before adding.

    • Comment (optional): Enter a description for the email. This might include a reason the email can be excluded from analysis.

  3. Select Allow Sender.

    The email address is displayed in your Allow List.

Adding a Domain to the Allow List

Adding domains to the Allow List is a way of minimizing false positives for users. A false positive is when a user receives an email they know is clean, but has been flagged as malicious by Email Security and has had a banner applied to it. The Allow List only exists on customer level.

When you add a domain to the Allow List, then all the sender emails using that domain bypass Email Security analysis. If you believe a domain to be clean, then this is a more efficient method then adding sender emails individually for that domain.

Important

When you add a domain to the Allow List, the email addresses using that domain are not analyzed by Email Security and are delivered directly to the user's inbox. So be sure that the domain is a trusted source.

  1. Go to Configuration > Mail Flow > Allow List. When the Allow List page opens, select the Domains tab and then Allow.

    • Sender Domain: Enter the domain address you want added to the Allow List.

      Important

      No Email Security Analysis will be performed on emails from this domain once it is added to the Allow List so be sure that it is a trusted domain before adding.

    • Comment (optional): Enter a description for the domain. This might include a reason the domain can be excluded from analysis.

  3. Select Allow Domain.

    The domain is displayed in your Allow List.
