How to exempt a specific host only from dynamic screening using Sieve Print

  • 0

If you have a specific host that you need to exempt from dynamic screening, but still have messages from it still go through other security tests such as Spam and Anti-Virus filtering (for instance a secondary mail server that needs to relay through SecurityGateway) this can be accomplished through a Sieve script.

 

  1. Log into the SecurityGateway administration website with a global administrator account
  2. Click on Security
  3. Locate the Advanced section
  4. Click on Sieve Scripts
  5. Click New 
  6. Enter a descriptive Script Name, such as 'Do not screen host 10.0.0.1'
  7. Select Auth from the 'Mail Event' dropdown
  8. The only choice in the Scope dropdown will be global - you cannot apply an AUTH level script to a specific domain
  9. Specify the following for the Script Text, replacing 10.0.0.1 with the IP of machine which you wish to exempt from dynamic screening: require ['securitygateway']; if allof(not whitelisted 'ip,host',not auth 'succeeded',ip :is '10.0.0.1') { dynamicscreen 'disable'; }
  10. Click Save & Close 
  11. Ensure that this script is below the system generated 'Dynamic Screening' script in the list of scripts using the up or down arrows in the order column
