V18 and whitelisting IP ranges

MOLD RITE over 5 years ago

Does V18 still not know how to white list an IP range in the e-mail protection module? This is a major problem for us.

I didn't think a screen shot would be necessary, because this was a known feature gap in version 17. to recap: when creating an exception rule in the e-mail protection (anti-spam) module of exemptions form various tests, I can specify a list of domains / email address to whitelist ("*@example.com" or "John.Doe@gmail.com"). Or I can specify a list of host definitions to exempt (or "white list") from the tests. However, I cannot specify a network or range of addresses.

For example, I have been asked to whitelist IP range 209.112.104.1 through 209.112.104.254. This SHOULD be as simple as created a network definition of 209.112.104.0/24, then whitelisting it; nearly every other anti-spam tool on the planet has that ability. Instead, I have to create 253 individual Host IP definitions and add them individually.

Hi MOLD RITE

Unfortunately, the requested feature is not available as of now and single IP host/Domain would be available to add, I would request you to upvote the feature request - https://ideas.sophos.com/forums/330219-xg-firewall/suggestions/37577497-exclude-networks-in-smtp-source-exceptions
