Allow policies

Email Security allows you to configure allow policies. An allow policy exempts messages that match certain patterns from normal detection scanning.

To configure allow policies:

1. Log in to Zero Trust ↗.
2. Select Email Security.
3. Select Settings, then go to Detection settings > Allow policies.
4. On the Detection settings page, select Add a policy.
5. On the Add an allow policy page, enter the policy information:
   • Input method: Choose between Manual input, and Uploading an allow policy:
     • Manual input:
       • Action: Select one of the following to choose how Email Security will handle messages that match your criteria:
         • Trust sender: Messages will bypass all detections and link following.
         • Exempt recipient: Message to this recipient will bypass all detections.
         • Accept sender: Messages from this sender will be exempted from Spam, Spoof, and Bulk dispositions.
     • Rule type: Specify the scope of your policy. Choose one of the following:
       • Email addresses: Must be a valid email.
       • IP addresses: Can only be IPv4. IPv6 and CIDR are invalid entries.
       • Domains: Must be a valid domain.
       • Regular expressions: Must be valid Java expressions. Regular expressions are matched with fields related to the sender email address (envelope from, header from, reply-to), the originating IP address, and the server name for the email.
     • (Recommended) Sender verification: This option enforces DMARC, SPF, or DKIM authentication. If you choose to enable this option, Email Security will only honor policies that pass authentication.
       • Notes: Provide additional information about your allow policy.
   • Uploading an allow policy: Upload a file no larger than 150 KB. The file can only contain Pattern, Notes, Verify Email, Trusted Sender, Exempt Recipient and Acceptable Sender fields. The first row must be a header row.
