You can manage your own list of addresses and domains in Mimecast for Outlook that are blocked, permitted, and automatically allowed. This is all achieved from your Managed Senders view. This view provides functionality to:

  • Filter entries
  • Add entries
  • Delete entries


To open the Managed Senders view:

  1. Open Mimecast for Outlook.
  2. Click on the Mimecast ribbon.
  3. Click on the Managed Senders icon in the Email Gateway section.

There are three distinct lists of addresses and domains in the Managed Senders view. Each list can be managed separately:

  • Auto Permitted: The sender addresses and domains that are automatically added to your permitted list, by virtue that they are specified in an Auto Allow policy.
  • Blocked: The sender addresses and domains that have been manually added to your blocked list (e.g. they've been flagged as spam).
  • Permitted: The sender addresses and domains that have been manually added to your permitted list.

With the Managed Senders view open, you can perform the actions listed below. See the relevant section for your Mimecast for Outlook version for further details.


Adding a Blocked Sender

To add a sender's address or domain to your blocked senders list:
 

  1. Click on the Blocked tab in the left-hand pane.
  2. Click on the + Add Blocked button.
  3. Type the address or domain into the text box.
  4. Click on the Add button. The address / domain displays in the list.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for additional addresses / domains.
    Note: You can enter multiple addresses / domain by separating them with a space (e.g. user1@domain.com user2@domain.com domain.co.uk).
  6. Click on the Block button.
