SonicOS 7 Match Objects

Email Addresses

Application control allows the creation of custom email address lists as email address objects. You can only use email address objects with App Rules policies when the Policy Type is SMTP Client. Email address objects can represent individual users or the entire domain. You can also create an email address object that represents a group by adding a list of individual addresses to the object. This provides a way to easily include or exclude a group of users when creating an App Rules policy of type SMTP client. For more information, refer to Policy > App Rules.

For example, you can create an email address object to represent the support group:

After you define the group in an email address object, you can create an SMTP client policy that includes or excludes the group.

Navigate to Policy > App Rules > Add, the settings exclude the support group from a policy that prevents executable files from being attached to outgoing email. You can use the email address object in either the Mail from Included, Mail from Excluded, RCPT to Included, or RCPT to Excluded fields of the SMTP client policy. The Mail from fields refer to the sender of the email. The RCPT to fields refer to the intended recipient.

Although App Rules cannot extract group members directly from Outlook Exchange or similar applications, you can use the member lists in Outlook to create a text file that lists the group members. Then, when you create an email address object for this group, click Upload icon to import the list from your text file. Ensure that each email address is on a line by itself in the text file.
