SMTP Kill file Examples

The kill.lst file is used by the SMTP server to deny access to the mail server. It allows you to specify mail addresses or mail hosts that you do not want to accept mail from. The kill.lst file is located in the IMail top directory and applies to the primary host and all virtual hosts. To create or edit the kill file, click the Edit kill file button. The kill.lst file appears in Windows Notepad, or if no kill.lst file exists, one will be created.

Adding Entries

In the KILL.LST file, enter one entry per line in either of the following formats: userid@host

Examples:

To deny access from a user mail account

fred@widget.com

To deny access to all users from the mail host widget.com

@widget.com

@*partialhost

The following will reject all mail mail from widget.com, bluewidget.com, and nifty.widget.com.

@*widget.com

Note: The SMTP kill file is separate from the kill files for Lists.
