Anti-Phishing Exceptions

The Anti-Phishing engine supports defining Allow-Lists and Block-Lists.

The Anti-Phishing engine stops scanning emails that match an Allow-List or Block-List rule. The Anti-Phishing verdict will automatically be clean (for Allow-List) or Phishing / Suspected Phishing / Spam (for Block-List).

Note:

  • Emails in the Anti-Phishing Allow-List and Block-List are evaluated by other security engines, such as Anti-Malware and DLP.

  • If an email matches both the Allow-List and Block-List rules, the Allow-List takes precedence, and the email will be delivered.

  • Avanan supports a limited number of Anti-Phishing Allow-Lists and Block-Lists, each accommodating up to 10,000 entries. If customers want to add more entries, they can contact Avanan Support
