Black/White List
Black/White List
The FortiGate unit uses both an IP address list and an email address list to filter
incoming email, if enabled in the protection profile.
When doing an IP address list check, the FortiGate unit compares the IP address
of the message’s sender to the IP address list in sequence. If a match is found,
the action associated with the IP address is taken. If no match is found, the
message is passed to the next enabled spam filter.
When doing an email list check, the FortiGate unit compares the email address of
the message’s sender to the email address list in sequence. If a match is found,
the action associated with the email address is taken. If no match is found, the
message is passed to the next enabled antispam filter.

You can add multiple antispam IP address lists and then select the best antispam
IP address list for each protection profile. To view the antispam IP address list
catalog, go to AntiSpam > Black/White List > IP Address. To view any individual
antispam IP address list, select the edit icon for the list you want to see.
