Realtime Whitelists are whitelist databases that store IP addresses and domain names of trusted sources. E-mail messages that find a Realtime Whitelist match will be considered trusted and further validation checks as set by the IMail Administrator will be bypassed.
Trusted Realtime Whitelist
A match made with a trusted realtime whitelist will bypass the following validations.
Important: Updates made to the Realtime Whitelist will not successfully update until the "Save" or "Apply" button has been clicked.
Note: Be sure that the SMTP and Queue Manager services have been restarted after updates have been applied.
Each enabled Domain level Realtime Whitelist compares the IP addresses from the e-mail sender to look for a match. If a domain’s IP address is matched, mail from that domain is trusted and allowed to bypass validations as set by the IMail Administrator.
All Realtime Whitelists must be configured and enabled at the server level before an IMail e-mail domain can be set and used. This allows the IMail System Administrator to decide which whitelists should be allowed an e-mail domain for use. Only whitelists that are enabled on the system level Realtime Whitelists page are available for use and configuration at the Domain level Realtime Whitelists.
Use Realtime Whitelists Options to add, edit and delete server whitelists. All whitelists that are currently configured for the server are displayed in the realtime whitelist. The realtime whitelist information is stored in the under the IMail registry under the "DNSWhitelist" key.
Note: Realtime Whitelists must be enabled at the server level before they are made available for use at the e-mail domain level. Realtime Whitelists are then used at the domain level (when bound to an IP address), where administrators can choose which whitelists to enable for the selected domain at the Domain > Realtime Whitelist page.
