Connection Filter

For example, the Contoso.com DNS name is in Real-time Block List of a service provider AAA. Connection Filter of Study.Com includes the RBL service provider. When Contoso.com sends messages to Study.com, Study.COM exchange server sends a query to RBL service provider AAA. Because the positive match is found, Study.COM SMTP server rejects the SMTP connection from Contoso.com.

Sender Filter

You configure the sender filter of Study.com with ghost@contoso.com. When ghost@contoso.com sends messages to Study.com, it will be rejected.

Recipient Filter

Jane@study.com does not want any messages delivered from Internet. You can put Jane@study.com in the Recipient Filter. It also filters the messages that are directed to non-exist e-mail.

Sender ID Filter

Sender ID refers to SMTP server.

When Study.Com smtp server receives a message, it checks the sender's SMTP server address. The verification is automatically performed by ISP or recipient's mail server before the e-mail is delivered to user.
